SARS-CoV-2 damages key brain regions involved in empathy, impulse control, and executive function, leading to impaired social cognition and democratic erosion.

Reinfections compound neuroinflammation, fueling tribalism, misinformation, and fear-driven behavior.🧵

If only people could grasp the impact of:

Stopping privatisation

Vs

Stopping the boats.

This is important to understand:

Surgical masks do NOT provide adequate protection against infectious aerosols.

“Live viruses could be detected in the air behind all surgical masks tested. By contrast, properly fitted respirators could provide at least a 100-fold reduction.”

Banks are making record profits while our bills go up! 😡 We need to tax bank profits and fund our NHS & schools. Sign the petition and tell Rachel Reeves to #TaxtheBanks https://t.co/dUUO4Kzjo8 via @38degrees

As families face rising bills, and extreme weather causes devastation around the world, oil and gas companies shouldn’t get a tax break. Tell Chancellor Rachel Reeves to not turn her back on climate and communities. Add your name >> https://t.co/D25i4aK0K9

Bristol Airport confirms it will need to move its approach landing lights onto the nature reserve that is Felton Common, if it is allowed to make the runway longer.
This wasn't mentioned in the 'Master Plan' for expansion & now @baancc is furious

Coverage on @bbcpointswest about @BristolAirport's disgusting land grab on to Felton Common. "The law locks up the man or woman

Bristol airport now want to build out onto a nature reserve/ common as part of their expansion plans, they conveniently forgot to mention that in their masterplan consultation. They also want to add more light pollution to the area. https://t.co/Ua8HnLgLWt

Great article from @TristanCorkPost describing the 'fury' against @BristolAirport for planning to land-grab part of #FeltonCommon

@BristolAirport are corporate bullies - assuming they can just take what they want

They've made the mistake - why should local people suffer?

Over the whole period, Covid admissions in infants accounted for 43% of ALL admissions in children under 18 (19.7K/45.9K). 4/17

@PatrickChristys @GBNEWS Whether it’s flu or Covid, PLEASE don’t infect your baby. Both can be very dangerous to young babies.

It’s also not clever or funny to brag about intentionally infecting “as many people as possible in the office”. There were 195 Covid deaths in the UK just in the last week.

@YouAreLobbyLud Madness at the NHS
People who turn 65 on or after 1 September 2023 can get a shingles vaccine
I’m 68 so was 65 in 2022 and can’t get a shingles vaccine til I’m 70
WTF?
I’ll have to pay to get a private covid jab too 😩

[No Airport Expansion @NoAirportExp]

"Whilst the Government support for airport expansion has been largely based on its expectation of economic growth, the Government has been unable to direct the Committee to any evidence that supports its assertion."

Mariella Frostrup, "I just don't know when we started dehumanising people to the extent that we do now"

>Huge clap<

*In response to Nadine Dorries's long rant on leaving the ECHR and using the Royal Navy to address Farage's Brexit Small Boats Arrivals*

"I find it really shocking"

"Imagine if nobody wanted to come here then we'd really be depressed by Britain as a nation"

"Of course it is an issue. But we've decreased our budget for international development"

"We have a completely shambolic asylum system"

"You talk about people coming here illegally, but what are the legal routes?"

"We still don't have proper legal routes"

Nadine Dorries, "We do"

Mariella Frostrup, "Explain. I'm a woman in Congo. I'm one of the 80,000 women who has been raped as a result of the conflict going on there. I need to escape. My family has been wiped out. What's my legal way of applying to join my sister who is in the UK?"

*Nadine Dorries goes silent*

"It is impossible, our system is broken"

"The way we talk about people trying to come here, and the way we completely ignore the dilemmas that they face. And the fact that we have been instrumental in a lot of those conflicts"

"What happened to Afghanistan? When we were determined that people from Afghanistan could come here because of the way they supported us during that war"

"And now we're talking about them as if they're rubbish on the street"

"I think it's a shame we're allowing Reform UK to set the tone and the agenda and the way we talk about illegal immigrants"

*Nadine Dorries is now biting her lips*

>Another huge clap<

Plans by @BristolAIrport to expand to 15mppa have been dealt a blow by the #Parliamentary cross-party #EnvironmentAuditCommittee report out today

#EAC says UK Gov need to show evidence that #AirportExpansion DOES create #EconomicGrowth

We’ve published our report on airport expansion and climate and nature targets.

This Government is threatening to blow our carbon budget just to fuel Heathrow’s greedy business model.

Instead it should be listening to the people who want their bills cut, their water in public hands, and their homes made safe and warm.

@JunkScience @guardian @horton_official You do know that @guardian is just quoting a report put together by the parliamentary all-party #EnvironmentalAuditCommittee?
Who’ve been informed by experts in aviation?
They’re not making stuff up..
Unlike you of course

[Giulio Mattioli @giulio_mattioli]

Aviation emissions are booming. With climate targets looming, you would expect governments to act. And yet they don't - if anything they work to make sure that emissions increase even further. But why?

The answer is in @verahuwe_'s new article (THREAD) https://t.co/hVAikkt8os
