THREAD: Energy Bill Support Grant. I have just been notified that I will get £67 a month off my energy bills under the govt scheme. For enormous numbers of people this support will be absolutely vital. But it won't be vital for everyone, and that includes me. (PLS RT) 1/

Oil and gas companies say they’re going green. Yesterday I looked through some of their accounts to see if it’s true.
In the first half of this year, 4 companies made £74.4bn and reinvested £3.4bn in low carbon energy. On average, that’s equivalent to 5% of their profits.

The personal implications of researching violent histories are rarely talked about but it’s helpful to hear Antony Beevor talking about suffering from post-traumatic stress after researching the Red Army’s crimes. thetimes.co.uk/article/anton…

Never heard of the 'Malayan Emergency'? Does the term ring a bell but that's it? Then check out this @I_W_M podcast I made with @PhilNWang where we both learn things. He learns more about this complex, deeply relevant colonial war & I learn that he is a famous comedian 🙃
In the latest episode of the Conflict of Interest podcast, comedian @philnwang explores the origins, history and legacy of the Malayan Emergency with IWM expert Maria Creech and historian Karl Hack.

So a convicted rapist goes free while a woman begging to be released from years of financial and reproductive abuse is denied her freedom. Nice work, American justice system. #BritneySpears #BillCosby

The term #ClimateCrisis might seem like a joke to you but not to us. This is the kind of life we live everytime it rains if you are lucky enough to survive death.
What more should I say!.. Make us count, we don't deserve to suffer a crisis we didn't create.

"The concentration camps are the most extreme example of China’s inhumane policies against the Uighurs, but the entire population is subject to repressive policies. China has used mass surveillance to turn Xinjiang into a high-tech police state."
A reminder that China is running the largest mass internment of an ethnic-religious minority group since World War II, the Uighurs, including slavery, forced sterilization which has led to China's Muslim population in Xinjiang to plummet and torture. vox.com/2020/7/28/21333345/u…
