So - unprovoked, #Russia has invaded #Ukraine, breaking international law in the process. You may ask “what can I do” in the face of such an evil power as Putin. Well you are not as powerless as you think. A 🧵 on the small but concrete steps you can take. 1/n

@TheBlackEcho @MilitaryBanter @ross_moy Then one of us is doing it wrong…

@ProjectLincoln If he could be done with promoting talentless right-wing politicians in the UK too then that would be swell…

@NewStatesman @FranJWilliams The Armed Forces have had a similar shocker. Real terms wages have fallen by over 20% for most ranks over the past 10 years. If we were allowed to strike, then many would.

@premnsikka @guse_guse They could recall him…

@ARubbishBot Trick question - isolate it and move on.

@Taj_Ali1 @hullfair @GMB_union And that’s before you consider our allowances (which haven’t changed at all in 10 years) and accommodation costs (which have more than doubled).

[Distinctly average army officer. @staff_ex]

@Taj_Ali1 @hullfair @GMB_union Spare a thought for our servicemen and women, most of whom have enjoyed a 23% pay cut over the past 10 years alone.

@Councillorsuzie No - because most media outlets check to make sure their stories are in fact accurate before reporting on it. Perhaps you should do the same?

@PrivateEyeNews Wow @RandoxOfficial - was this you?

@Edeaulx @combat_boot I am 100% stealing “information manoeuvre advantage” for my next essay.

@mjv__1 Most ranks in the military have enjoyed a 22% pay cut over the past 12 years. Sometimes I wish we could strike alongside you…

@benj182 @drbecky_ @blackwellbooks I was literally in that shop a few weeks ago buying her book! If only I’d waited!

Guys - it’s The Council of Elon!!!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints.

No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.

Best of luck team!

If @kejamieson_ hasn’t seen this tweet already then you’re welcome…

Thrilled to see Taylor Swift following my lead on wearing dazzle camouflage - important that nobody can estimate her speed or heading

@leemakiyama And the algorithm makes it so…

@LBC @SangitaMyska This twerp says he served in the armed forces. Please can I reassure anyone reading this that his particularly nefarious form of racist outbursts are not tolerated at all in the armed forces.

Maybe Johnson’s tilt at office is a way of gaslighting us into being marginally happier with the option that isn’t him. Like offering a toddler two different over boiled vegetables, they will feel at least a bit happy they didn’t have to eat the worse one.
