As news of the illegal attack on the Global Sumud flotilla reverberates around the world, I'm listening to this song on repeat. It's worth noting that this song was written 23 years ago. Indeed nothing gets done. Free Palestine ✊ youtu.be/HDKOm-cYd7c?si=fd9j…

He and his vox party shut the emergency management and warning department for Valencia. The red alert was way late. They didn't send it until they saw it on the TV. Vote for right wing populists and that's what you get. Btw trump has said he is going to shut the NWS and NOAA.

Poor little max the incel blocked me before I could even reply. Trump is on record as saying he'll shut NOAA. Good luck Florida, you get the politics you deserve.

Oh feck. Rednecks have killed us all. Bed beckons.
We’re up. And checking in on our old friend Pinellas County. As bellweather a county as you can get, it has called the national result right for 20+ years. This time, it looks like it’s going for Trump.

BREAKING: Florida deleted man-made climate change then man-made climate change deleted Florida. You don’t “deal” with the climate folks. The climate deals with you.

Happy world ozone day. Still the proudest thing I've ever done, working for these three guys straight out of university. They are giants of men. Not all heroes wear capes. Three unassuming guys who actually saved the world. facebook.com/share/zAfQSxJvn…

If you wonder why I'll be voting green. This, a wealth tax, and Pr. Closer ties to Europe with single market access asap. No lobby groups, no second jobs, no whips. The only party offering a real chance of change. Vote green for the future.
The scenes in Rafah are horrific. The International Court of Justice has told Israel to stop. Since October 7th, the Green Party of England and Wales has called for: A full bilateral ceasefire The release of all hostages A suspension of all arms export licences to Israel until the violence stops The cessation of all military collaboration with Israel, including use of British bases by Israeli forces, and intelligence sharing Targeted Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against individuals and institutions supporting or facilitating Israel’s occupation of Palestine An investigation by the Metropolitan Police and Director of Public Prosecutions of war crimes committed against UK citizens, or where UK citizens are potential perpetrators The UK government to use its position as a permanent member of the UN Security Council to vote for, rather than abstain on, ceasefire votes Targeted sanctions against key individuals in the Israeli leadership, including travel bans and asset freezes on Israel’s government ministers An end to occupation of the Palestinian territories The UK government to return to international law being the benchmark for UK policy, and repair the UK’s international reputation as a defender of the international rules-based order.

Listen to every second of this. This is how you treat greed and vulture capitalists. Let them know their time is up.
I just confronted the CEO of @equinor and it’s majority shareholder, the Norwegian government, at their AGM. The people in this room are responsible for the UK’s biggest undeveloped oil field - Rosebank. We are no longer pleading. We will #StopRosebank

Well here's an advertisement for the Greens Starmer doesn't support safe routes He's gone full gammon for a sniff of power Abhorrent. Not a single labour value on display here
"Would you increase the number of safe routes?" Keir Starmer: "I don't think safe routes is the answer to the vile trade that's being run to put people into small boats"

Will they be using cattle trucks? How far the country has fallen since 2010 Fascism in a short trousered suit and a union jackboot Utterly abhorrent. I hope the immigration officers refuse. Just following orders is not a defence theguardian.com/uk-news/2024…

At the end of a miserable day when the Tories shamed our nation, this song appeared. Thank you to the Marsh family Can we all repost this on every Tory MPs timeline when they mention Rwanda. Every single time. Destroy their narrative one note at a time.
For the good people who fight it on the beaches, in the law courts, in their homes, in their communities, in our national institutions, and in their hearts. Keep fighting. #RwandaNotInMyName #RwandaBill @refugeecouncil @CityofSanctuary @amnesty @libertyhq @AsylumMatters @_KRAN_ @ZoeJardiniere @stand_for_all @LouCalvey @RefugeesAtHome @RefugeeAction @RefugeeTogether

#irishtwitter So I've been abroad for a good few years. Is there an official start time to the St Patrick's weekend Arthur celebrations? I'm thinking maybe around 4pm today? It's a thirsty work down south near Africa.
