@JamesMelville You probably saw the recent Telegraph article about the noise concerns about AI data centres https://t.co/fW4w1V2Mu8

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Fife residents & conservationists are campaigning to prevent plans for a giant AI data centre in rural Fife. It’s one of the world’s biggest AI data centres. It has been calculated that it would use the energy of more than 50% of Scotland's households. No one voted for this.

We have less than two weeks to stop Wendy (23) and her partner Diana (22) from *spending the rest of their lives in a Ugandan prison*. Will you sign Wendy's petition calling on the govt to drop all the charges? https://t.co/P4hXeRwjNB

Corporate vet chains hiked prices by 63%, forcing owners into debt to save their pets. 💔

Tell the regulator to cap fees & BUST the vet cartel before lobbyists water the rules down! 🐾 https://t.co/s5SodAr6mo via @38degrees

[Dignity in Dying @dignityindying]

Today is the private members' bill ballot.
Your MP needs to see this message:

You voted for choice. For compassion. You listened to dying people and made a promise.
An unelected few tried to break your promise.
Don’t let them.

It’s time to back the bill again.

Share and tag your MP.👇

When citizens are kidnapped in international waters and the government stays silent, democracy has already failed.
Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland must now pursue recognition at the UN not as rebels, but as nations reclaiming democratic integrity.
The UK is a failed democracy and complicit in genocide.

The IOF are SHOOTING at innocent and UNARMED activists delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza.
📌They do this openly, in the exact same way they have been oppressing, attacking, and murdering the Palestinian people for decades.

Is this the "most moral army in the world"?!

[MO @Abu_Salah9]

Reports have surfaced exposing Israeli soldiers for looting money and gold from homes in Gaza after their owners were killed or forced into displacement.

Expose them. Refuse silence.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

Israel’s Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir ATTACKS A FEMALE ACTIVIST and says: “WELCOME TO HELL. The summer camp is over.”

Activists from the GLOBAL SUMOOD FLOTILLA are being ZIP-TIED and ABUSED while being forced to listen to ISRAEL’s national anthem.

[We don't deserve cats 😺 @catsareblessing]

Late at night, someone left a cat named Gaby on a bench 😢 She stayed in the same spot for hours, staring at the street, waiting for the car to come back. She didn’t eat, drink, or move... just waited. By morning, a woman found her still there. Gaby didn’t run, she trusted her, even purred when touched. The woman took her home, where she slept for hours. A vet later confirmed she was healthy but dehydrated, and had clearly once been cared for. Gaby was left behind... but she never stopped waiting. 🐾💔 You should never abandon a soul you promised to stay with forever. 😿

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Francesca Albanese just exposed the ugly truth: The New York Times ignored Palestinian rape testimonies for over a year.

She gave them a lengthy interview in February 2024. Nothing followed.

UNRWA detailed torture and sexual abuse. Nothing.

B'Tselem. Physicians for Human Rights. The UN Committee Against Torture-which concluded torture is Israeli state policy. The UN Commission -which called it systematic, widespread, and an act of genocide.

All ignored.

But now the NYT finally publishes? Suddenly it's a scandal

The rape didn't start when the NYT noticed. The silence just became harder to maintain

سيدة فرنسية:
"وجدنا قبرًا جماعيًا في غزة يحتوي على 300 شخص.
أطفال صغار قُتلوا وأيديهم مُقيدة خلف ظهورهم،
ثم يخرجون ويقولون إن الجنود الإسرائيليين هم أكثر الجنود أخلاقًا في العالم!!"

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Now there's a very, very good question.

Thames Water have now admitted that they are not treating (dousing) their sewage for phosphate due to a "supply issue". That by the way has a massive and negative impact on water quality and aquatic life.

Funny they didn't mention any of that until they were called out on it.

How many other WCs I wonder are having supply issues?

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Israel is on high alert arresting hundreds of civilians on ships bound for Gaza carrying weapons such as bread, milk and medicine.

The people of Gaza have the right to aid even under occupation and siege, but international law clearly doesn’t apply to Israel.

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Hay una pandemia que nadie quiere frenar: la del egoísmo. Y esa, también se contagia.

El mayor riesgo para la salud global ya no es la falta de ciencia, sino la falta de conciencia. Por eso, cuando otros recortan, España duplica su ayuda.

Porque ninguna sociedad merece llamarse civilizada si abandona a los suyos. Cuidar de quien no puede cuidarse no es caridad. Es lo que nos hace humanos.

NHS MANAGER TOLD HER WHISTLEBLOWERS GO MISSING OVERNIGHT

Totally normal stuff from a world-class health service.

Victoria Rixon @Victoria_Rixon spent six and a half years as an NHS midwife. She watched labour wards run on two members of staff. She watched colleagues go 12.5 hour shifts without food, water, or a toilet break, each responsible for up to 20 patients at once. She watched a woman labour alone for ten hours behind a curtain with no care whatsoever. The baby needed emergency resuscitation.

She reported what she saw. Because that is literally what the @NHS told her to do during induction.

What happened next is a classic in how Britain's most trusted institution handles inconvenient truths.

She was falsely accused of being responsible for the death of a baby.

Her employer sent a cease and desist letter after her exit interview.

And a member of NHS management delivered her a friendly warning:

'whistleblowers go missing overnight'

An NHS manager. Said that. Out loud. To a midwife who raised patient safety concerns.

On 9 April 2024, Victoria handed back her Nursing and Midwifery Council @nmcnews registration and walked away from the career she had trained four years for and loved every day of.

Because she says the institution she worked for was actively harming the women and babies in its care and punishing anyone who said so.

She is still speaking publicly. She is still being harassed. The NMC @nmcnews, NHS England @NHSEngland, and the Royal College of Midwives @MidwivesRCM have had inquiry after inquiry, report after report, and the wards are still dangerously short staffed.

But sure. The system is fine. It just needs another review.
