I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too.
A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.
@frontlinekit Perfect schadenfreude. & after, at least what I noticed, around 15 years of manipulating the online conversation fuelling the culture war culminating in Trump, Farage, Brexit, et-al, we now witness the originators of this nonsense going at it hammer and claw. They beat us to it!
It’s my daughter’s 18th birthday today. How lucky I am to have her, safe. Help 🇺🇦 kids reach their milestones, safe and unbombed. The future for a bright 🇺🇦👇
🚨Yesterday, 23 June, Estonian owned cargo ship KELLY from Hansa Shipping departed Aughinish with approx 8799 tons of Alumina for Putin’s war machine.
This is enough to smelt 4400 tons of aluminium.
This is the 32nd such shipment since NAFO started monitoring on 14 March
Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.
You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.
My archaeologist heart breaks for Perchersk Lavra. Turn rage into renewal and make sure that Ukraine’s skies are safe. I’m raffling the last of my Tryzub scarves. -$5 per ticket to @U24_gov_ua sky defence. Our leaders may not have the spines to close the skies so we will.
OK #smokefleet. Some of you may already know Nell. She's raising awareness for the sky defence fundraiser. 5 quid or 5 dollars would be a nice starter.
#smokefléét#smokerising#nafo. Let's see if I get any traffic....

Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this.
JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor?
ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father.
JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small?
ZELENSKYY: I love you.
JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older?
ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you.
JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried?
ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people.
And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry.
JOURNALIST: Are you a hero?
ZELENSKYY: No.
JOURNALIST: So who is your hero?
ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.
