@UsingLyft sorry we do have a problem & you absolutely do not represent black ppl, no more or less than I do. Who are you to represent entire continents & beyond ? ‘black ppl’? Who do you mean? It might surprise you many of us identify not solely by our skin colour, but where we come from.

@mboudry @UGent Still think it’s okay to hide racism behind academic freedom? Is it heritable too to act so barbaric towards other humans?

[Kookie Habtegaber @HKookie]

@ugent @ERC_Research @ugent so now your research includes funding racist bigots?Hasn’t #Belgium done enough racist experimentation in #Congo ? Why continue with that mentality in 2026? Thought you moved on from all that evilness! You really believe this BS? Shall I also believe Dutch jokes about BE?

Killing civilians indiscriminately is unspeakable and inhumane no matter who does it. Shame on those who have the platform and power to stop these killings not working night and day to bring peace. #gaza #Israel

@carolvorders @UKLabour @carolvorders spoke to NHS professor y’day who explained in UK NHS pays for cancer treatment med at negotiates lower price 4 all. In the US, farma charge max price bc in US Constitution once price set it can’t change. So only ppl w insurance or $ r treated. UK wants this system?

@Docstockk Here is a question: all focus is on what is a woman, I rarely hear any debate about what is a man? Is a man with a vagina a man? @Docstockk

@adamparsons @MarkVipond It’s Americanization of uk politics… every year since brexit it gets closer - this is not an open public discourse on best policies , it’s partisanship aided by algorithms

[Kookie Habtegaber @HKookie]

@jonsopel Wait for your return flight to UK… if it isn’t getting off the plane because there aren’t enough people to bring the stairs or jetty, it will be waiting 4 hours for your luggage ! @British_Airways Nightmare every time! at least in Geneva your luggage will be waiting for you.

[Kookie Habtegaber @HKookie]

@HansonsAuctions so many of my family had to flee, got to a safe country illegally 2ask asylum.They didn’t take biz class flight with visa 2get to uk & then ask asylum (maybe if y r ex- minister) yes also paying smugglers 2get them there sometimes-these r genuine refugees not illegal -the reality

[Kookie Habtegaber @HKookie]

@HansonsAuctions What do you exactly mean by illegal immigrants vs genuine refugees? You mean economic migrants in search of better life? No human being is illegal.

@rjtklein @xdi_systems We did a similar work linking cities their role in economic growth & reliance on nature at risk due to climate change - eg sea level rise in coastal cities who generate large % of GDP https://t.co/zD4llEnf0S

[Kookie Habtegaber @HKookie]

@British_Airways no help possible for people who have a problem with their ticket at Geneva airport ? Even @easyJet is better

[Kookie Habtegaber @HKookie]

Devastating news, thinking of all those affected
Number of people affected by quakes in millions - WHO https://t.co/D9YN563H5H via @BBCNews

[Kookie Habtegaber @HKookie]

@EmmaKennedy biggest problem UK has is growing inequality. this is born out in the failure to sufficiently invest in public services across UK.Many of these services have also been privatized & are ran 4 profit instead of public service; more laissez-faire, less better quality of life for all

[Kookie Habtegaber @HKookie]

@pmorganbentley Why don’t the courts check who is getting the warranty before they allow it? Is the legal system part of the problem? This is what happens when you privatize essential public services. Yet @centricaplc @BritishGas claim to be sustainable companies! it People Planet Profit.
