WTF #UoM !!! If you really care about black lives then why does UoM continue to build research with, invest in, and support WEAPONS companies who profit from the murder an oppression of black lives all around the world...#US #libya #Bosnia #Eygpt #Yemen #Somalia #Palestine ...+++

Manchester announced it was delaying its clean air zone until 2022, without providing an explanation as to why the current circumstances have triggered a delay of at least another year and a half before any meaningful action to tackle #AirPollution begins.

#Degrowth is our only future.
You know when the caterpillars eat all their food source and it dies.... then they die. Yeah, that.

Profit is a bigger concern than health and safety because of a power imbalance between workers and big bosses. Join a trade union everyone!

[Apsana Begum MP @ApsanaBegumMP]

One aspect of Boris Johnson’s statement was absolutely clear: the economy and profit come before people and health.

Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest rose sharply last month. The area destroyed in April was 64% bigger than in the same period last year. #NoForestNoFuture https://t.co/k1RhK7GWQE

Disgusting behaviour and a reminder that POLICE ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS

[Hicham Yezza @HichamYezza]

This is great from Emily Maitlis but the enormous praise she’s been getting for it speaks volumes about the moribund state of UK political journalism and how little the UK public expect of it — the mere hint of independent, critical thinking is greeted like a miracle.

[Momentum 🌹 @PeoplesMomentum]

When all of this is over, we must remember the people who saved us.

One thing #COVID19 has made abundantly clear is who the total bastards are. We need a political system that ensures the likes of Mike Ashley, Tim Martin and Richard Branson are never allowed to dominate our lives again.

How stupid do you have to be to want your entire nation to fall ill with a deadly virus? Britain’s Coronavirus Strategy is Literally One of the Most Insane Things in Modern History... https://t.co/7hQiLl0mmQ
