Elon Musk: Donald Trump is too old to be president.

Retweet if you agree!

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

In a statement to CNN (October 2023), Trump’s former Chief of Staff John Kelly described Trump as "a person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about…A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law…God help us."

Around 40% of NHS employees are perimenopausal and menopausal women. Many are struggling with symptoms and are leaving their jobs.
Symptoms usually improve with the right dose and type of hormone treatment as symptoms are due to changing and lowering hormone levels.
More women deserve prompt and effective treatment.

Excellent new paper on the application of MBT to working with dissociative symptoms in trauma. Especially helpful focus on working with the body. https://t.co/ULaRU4D5pf

Good this is being recognised but lets not place this inside children. We need to help parents, communities and change how we organise society ..BBC Mental health help for under-fives overlooked - report

We don’t want someone to worship us. We need someone to do something far more difficult: see us as we are and still keep faith.

Girls’ education is one of the most powerful strategies to tackle #ClimateChange. For every additional year of schooling a girl receives, her country’s resilience to climate disasters improves. Adolescent girls are powerful change agents and must be a part of climate solutions

Parents, especially of little ones, I say so gently: When you are angry & shouting at your child, your face looks scary. So - if you get caught in anger, go back later & make up, talk to them about what happened. When you are little, it’s hard being quietly scared of your parent.

@uber shameful service. £25 ride cancelled by driver called Dickson 2 mins before pickup, no reason given. The next available ride jumped to £42. Had to get it or would miss airport connection. The driver said this was wrong, his device was showing £28 charge. Disgusted!!

Marking 80 years since mission #Anthropoid, in which Jan Kubiš & Jozef Gabčík from the resistance movement killed one of the #Holocaust architects R. Heydrich. Today, we remember their courage and what they stood for: defending freedom whenever it is at risk.
