So we've reached 50 ratifications for the #nuclearban. This is such a huge moment for everyone who has worked so hard on this treaty, but what does it actually mean? Thread.👇
Americans killing Americans?
ICE agents of Trump murdered American citizen #ReneeGood in Minneapolis.
The neighbour said ~ Let me help her. I’m a physician.
ICE agents ~ I don’t care!
This joker #Trump has manufactured herds of Zombies!
Danes outraged by Trump's Greenland takeover idea
"Absurd," "crazy," "madness." Danes in #Copenhagen are hitting back at US President Donald Trump's repeated hints that America could take control of Greenland. #Trump#UnitedStates#Greenland#Denmark
In Gary Stevenson, the left has finally found an eloquent, honest and credible campaigner against inequality – we should champion him.

“Violence didn’t work. Numbers did. That’s the secret, in case you are looking for the secret to resisting an imperial power, which was what we were doing through those years. Non-violent resistance of the total population” The Ministry for the Future https://t.co/ZjdOPVuc8D
This is why we should not rely on the good will of the ultra-rich. Instead, we should demand they pay their fair share of taxes to society so that communities can decide to invest in what truly matters. Yet another reason for a #UNTaxConvention

Under the current global tax system, *every time* a billionaire fills the tank of his yacht, society can lose around 300K in VAT. This is possible because of the legal gaps that the ultrarich exploit to abuse the system. We need a #UNTaxConvention pronto! https://t.co/poB0ODqNOk
Great to see @Oxfam’s recent climate inequality report highlighted by @antonioguterres in his #COP29 address.

Here’s an excerpt on the relationship between AI and the environment 👇🏾
Il WWF esprime solidarietà alle persone colpite dall'alluvione in Emilia-Romagna e Marche.

A group of UN experts says that the 390 bodies, including women and children, discovered in mass graves near the Al Shifa and Nasser hospitals reportedly show “signs of torture and summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive”. https://t.co/pnwBrBDG6V
With #AllEyesOnRafah Greenpeace echoes the clarion call for a #CeasefireNow. The horror must stop. Sanity and humanity must be restored. No more civilians should be killed or harmed in this bitter war.
We call for an immediate release of all hostages. We call for the Israeli Government to immediately end the blockades on the supply of food, water, medicine and fuel to the citizens of #Gaza. We call for the release of all illegally detained civilians.
Violence is never the answer. Beyond the urgent need to end the civilian suffering and ecological devastation, all parties must resume peaceful negotiations towards a lasting peace built on safety, justice and equal rights.
Ramy Mohamed Youssef Chair of the #UNTaxConvention Committee, you have a big responsibility and a unique opportunity to turn things around this year, don't waste it!
Letter from a concerned father to Ramy Mohamed Youssef, Chair of the UN Tax Convention Committee, calling for a new fair global tax system.
This year the world can take back power and money from rich elites by changing the global tax rules.

I wonder why I need to pay > 30% and we should celebrate billionaires to pay a mere 2%.
#WealthTaxNotEnough, we need a #UNTaxConvention
Thank you very much!

And if nuclear deterrence only deters nuclear armed states and not non-nuclear armed states, wouldn’t there be a clear advantage of being non-nuclear armed, since nuclear deterrence doesn’t apply to you? Isn’t that a massive weakness for nuclear armed states?
“A world without nuclear weapons is totally possible,” says @Emma_Pike_, a nuclear disarmament consultant and activist. She shared her thoughts with Times Opinion on TikTok: https://t.co/BWGbpinIk7
