Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that.

@POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate.

Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims Americans like me. We will remember where you stood.

Noticed it says “world class trail running” as its vision ie not skyrunning. Such a shame if we lose the only actual technical skyrace in the UK - might have to fit Glencoe in this yr..!

NEWS ALERT!
This year's @SalomonSports @Skylinescotland will be the last in Kinlochleven. There'll be no 2024 edition before the event relaunches in an exciting new venue in 2025. This year will be the last opportunity to race our existing courses.

Suspect laz will make up a new name for @Ultra_Damo - “mohawk guy” just too easy to figure out! Rooting for ya Damo @TheGreenRunnerz & @JasminKParis (“small European lady”) of course! #BM100 The only reason to be back on twitter.

I don't know, man. The response to the soup/Van Gogh incident kinda proves the activists' point.

People had an immediate emotional reaction to the desecration of art, but we let the daily desecration of our planet slide.

“Markets have not become freer under “free market” capitalism, they have become more monopolistic.

The state has not shrunk under neoliberalism, it has simply stopped helping the poor and started dishing out cash to elites.”

So that’s it. Who are the winners from this budget? Bankers, city fatcats, fossil fuel giants, the extremely wealthy. Who are the losers? Everyone else. And not one word about climate & nature protection, on which all wealth ultimately depends #Bankersbudget

Apparently the UK no longer has journalism, it has only royal propaganda outlets 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

Gonna be impossible to say the words King Charles without adding the word Spaniel on the end I’m afraid

[Michael Walker @michaeljswalker]

Boris Johnson is gonna be so pissed if he's missed out on all the pomp this will come with by just a couple weeks...

[Tess @_yesnomaybe_]

@ameliaboone Jokes on him, loads of fun to be had 😜 (disclaimer: couldn’t find a crazy dog lady action figure)

[Tess @_yesnomaybe_]

This is so true. A dissonance my brain couldn’t handle after 9 years of “humanitarian” work.

[Tess @_yesnomaybe_]

Will there ever be accountability for the rights violations people are suffering in these refugee camps? This is why I (try to) quit humanitarian work and 5 years on it’s just got worse. #rohingya #bangladesh #myanmar #humanitarianaid @Refugees https://t.co/pm7R3z4mjR

“The #UKgov, though, is functioning – its response to the #Ukraine crisis shows that when it seeks to do so, it can respond to an emergency”…read @tamanahope’s take on how this impacts #afghanistan one year on from the taliban takeover. #BeBetter https://t.co/No1L4ADeoI

"Central bank officials believe that the only way to counter rising prices is to engineer a recession.

This is precisely the tactic that was used by Thatcher in the 1980s."

This whole thread calling out @MSF (and the rest of the industry) for lack of (informed) consent and the arrogant, white saviour, “rescuer”-centering attitude that they think is acceptable. 👏 #toxicaid

[duckrabbit @duckrabbitblog]

This is @raulgaab response to legitimate questions about the basis on which @msf are filming, identifying and within hours posting to social images/video of migrants/asylum seekers at the point of rescue and on their boats.

Oh my, this is too perfect
