@GeorgeMonbiot I should say I don't mean it's profitable but that the advertising revenue makes it viable. I think the best thing to do is make it no longer viable.
@GeorgeMonbiot He makes money from the platform and the number of users is used to justify advertising costs and makes disinformation more likely to spread. At this point we are only enabling him to use this platform for nefarious ends. I'm gonna start using blusky and threads (and mastodon)
Sitting down with me ahead of the Green Party Convention and AGM tomorrow, @oharamal discussed his party's performance in recent years and how serving in the Oireachtas compares to Northern Irish politics

Labour just sold £1.3bn of NHS services to private equity.
Pay-off for political donations.
Private equity =profiteering, asset stripping, low investment, staff exploitation, poor care.
30%-40% money vanishes in profits - people get less for more money

Help! I (36F) blocked my ex (53M) on twitter but then he spent $44 billion and renamed the entire website after himself so he could see my tweets again
New details about the pro-rape riots in Israel. Military police trying to arrest rapists were beaten at gunpoint and pepper sprayed by idf soldiers. Those soldiers faced zero consequences.
In three months, three billionaires donated $220 million to Donald Trump.
Democracy is not billionaires buying elections. That’s Oligarchy.
We must overturn the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision and move to public funding of elections.

More of this 'fibre optic cables' nonsense.
They run across the Atlantic Ocean and can be attscked anywhere in the oceam. They're privately owned and there are hundreds of them.
It's not for us to protect them (never been attacked before btw) and we couldn’t if we tried!
APPROVED BY UNIVERSITY COUNCIL!
@tcddublin will imminently begin the process of investigating and cutting ties with Israeli institutions through a taskforce with a huge BDS mandate.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
@Hippopompous@janrosenow Heat Geek are regularly installing systems with a COP of over 4.5. Their average SCOP is still above 4 and it's (according to @_heatgeek )going to get higher.
Excellent and necessary article by @nickshaxson:
"Starmer seems to be taking the side of global monopoly power over the people of Britain." It's a craven and ultimately self-defeating approach. https://t.co/RhRKrXQooD
Morning news journalists can talk more nonsense about Taylor Swift or they can put to Labour MPs their governments connections to genocide?
Which will they choose.
I don't begrudge anyone a holiday (albeit that's what recess is for) but I am concerned at the number of ministers who aren't turning up to face Assembly scrutiny.
Half of the Executive was away this week.
Meanwhile the Executive isn't bringing forward any actual legislation..
The German Greens disgrace the @europeangreens and our global movement. The international courts must hold Israel's enablers, including Germany and the UK, accountable for their part in this genocide.
