Retired from career in education and children's services, now volunteering. Concerned about climate change especially its effect on developing countries.

Really fed up having wasted most of the afternoon trying and failing to resolve a @LidlGB complaint.
Vouchers didn't work, manager couldn't help, online complaints form just about impossible to use!!!

Genocide apologists are trying to get the BBC to remove the documentary 'Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone' from iPlayer.

Here are some clips from the film (all the footage was filmed by two Palestinian cameramen in Gaza)

[Andrea Batchelor @AMBatchelor]

Terrifying.

[🇺🇦Radio Free NAFO Jack’s House @FluteMagician]

1) This is the executive order that establishes Trump as dictator. It’s also how Trump is going to get around the court orders and defy them. By forcing federal employees to do it or be fired. So now the president alone interprets law. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s begin⬇️

[Andrea Batchelor @AMBatchelor]

So now it's extortion. #DictatorTrump

USA, once the land of democracy and freedom - today the home of dictators and blackmailers.

US Treasury Gives Ukraine One Hour to Sign Rare Earth Deal - NBC.

Bessant handed Zelensky a document that would give the US ownership of half of Ukraine's rare earth minerals.

When Zelensky said he needed time to review the proposal, Bessant said he had one hour to sign or his upcoming meetings with Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be canceled, according to five US officials and another person familiar with the talks.

“We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy”

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

EVERY American should be ashamed by what Trump said today, undermining the Ukrainian people and freedom and democracy around the world. What an American President says matters. And Zelenskyy is not the dictator — Putin is.

This is just plain wrong. And Republicans should say so.

New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenko, "I'm an opposition MP.. Still we are speaking with one voice"

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Would you describe Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a dictator?"

Lesia Vasylenko, "We are living in martial law because Russia has attacked Ukraine.. We have no choice but to live in martial law to protect ourselves"

"If President Zelensky a dictator? No"

"He is a president of a free democratic country which is fighting for its survival"

[Andrea Batchelor @AMBatchelor]

I wish everyone would hear this.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history.

The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy.

Here are my thoughts:

[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science on 11 February is marking its 10th anniversary and serves as a reminder that women’s participation is essential for building a better world through science and technology.

@elonmusk Right, that's it. I'm off.
Bye, Twitter.

[ClimateChange @ClimateChangeOb]

The Arctic could be ice-free in decades and could pass that grim milestone sooner unless much more is done to combat climate change, which caused sea ice to dwindle and without it an ice-free Arctic would be impossible under any circumstances, expert said https://t.co/SUnF5r0EHC

There are only a few places on earth where thousand year old trees still stand. The west coast of Canada is one of them but every day they are logged.

Time to stop the logging: https://t.co/5lrUNnvtHK #ProtecttheIrreplaceable

And yet it is the deniers who are being empowered
Climate crisis exposed people to extra six weeks of dangerous heat in 2024

Analysis shows fossil fuels are supercharging heatwaves, leaving millions prone to deadly temperatures

[GO GREEN @ECOWARRIORSS]

This shows us what a pathetic failed species humans are
As global warming intensifies - emissions keep on rising
People elect politicians who tell them it is not real and they can carry on regardless and burn even more fossil fuels and deforestation
Igniting the fires of hell

[Climate Central @ClimateCentral]

Human-caused climate change added an average of 41 days of dangerous heat in 2024, impacting global weather events.

A new report by @WWAttribution & Climate Central reviews the past year of extreme weather.

@carolecadwalla I am appalled. Can no-one be trusted?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

As storms devastate communities from coast to coast, families have been denied housing assistance because they lack proper documentation to prove ownership or residency.

My bill will make it easier for survivors to get disaster assistance.
