Twitter is not ideal for longer poems, but here's an extended lyric, "The Moment," by Kathleen Raine (thanks, @AndrewSchuman, for introducing this poet to me), taken from her 2001 Collected Poems.

American actress Meryl Streep has called on the international community to intervene on behalf of Afghan women.

She said Afghan women had the right to vote before women in Switzerland, referring to the backwardness of women in Afghanistan under Taliban rule.

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

Ed Miliband has approved a number of mass-scale solar panels on UK farmland despite huge local community objections.

Solar panels shouldn’t be used on fields that are cultivated for our food growing. Instead, put them on brownfields, car parks, roofs and roads.

Free Afghan Women 🇦🇫

In response to the Taliban's ban on women's voices, this Afghan woman from Pashtun ethnicity from Afghanistan sings a poem for her and all Afghan women freedom and their basic rights.

If you’re an MP on 95k yr telling pensioners on £11k yr they can afford their own heating bills… well then so can you. Just saying.

[Shabnam Nasimi @NasimiShabnam]

867 days have passed since the Taliban banned teenage girls from going to school. Afghanistan remains the ONLY country in the world where girls are not allowed to study.

Almost 2 and half years have passed. Where is the humanity? Why won't anyone speak up? We won't be silenced.

[Caroline Voaden MP @CarolineVoaden]

Please join my campaign to get @styleisviral to withdraw this disgusting T-shirt from sale.
Whoever came up with this "design" should be utterly ashamed.
Please retweet and let's put pressure on Viral Style to immediately withdraw all versions of it.

NIGERIA: More than 41 Christians were massacred in the last 24 hours by Islamist Fulani militia in the Kaduna State.

Where is the UN? Where are the human rights organizations?

I REFUSE to be silent. Please pray for the persecuted, voiceless Christians.

What a cutie pie!! I could watch all day!

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Is anyone else absolutely sick to the back teeth of the media in this country?

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

If everyone who has been grateful for an NHS doctor followed and retweeted we would reach a million followers today and be much stronger together

[Dr Andrew Meyerson @AndrewMeyerson]

Take 2 minutes to watch this. It’s one of the best interviews I’ve seen so far on the #DoctorsStrike. Thank you @DrHilaryJones.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

The NHS is by no means perfect, but no one in the UK has ever been declared bankrupt because of medical bills.

Yet.

We must never take our NHS for granted - please RT if you agree.

[Dan White : Disability Campaigner / Author / ♿️ @Danwhite1972]

The government are going to crack down on people innocently selling clothes etc on @eBay & @vinted for pence.

The government said it would "bear down on tax evasion"

Meanwhile, it is estimated the 2,000 largest businesses in the UK may owe £34.8bn in tax.

Priorities.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour.

And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour.

It's hard not to see the lie.

RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.

[Nature Is Beautiful 🐾 🦋🌏🌸 @AMAZ1NG_NATURE]

Yes…
