f**k off. You don't speak for me or the majority of women. You haven't lifted a finger to do anything at all to protect women - from violence, from misogyny, from poverty, from illness, from health inequality.

Biological sex matters. We’re protecting women and girls.

It's not 'children die of malnutrition' it's 'children are forcibly starved to death by Israel'.

Our daughter performed a monologue for drama class today. The teacher asked her if she could unmask so she could watch her facial expressions. Daughter explained that she only unmasked outdoors. The class went outside to watch her perform. Inclusivity is possible if people care

Waiting for the lightbulb moment when governments realise clean air is cheaper than airborne illness and all its consequences on health and economy.

So, it appears that the private lab which wrongly gave out 43,000 PCR negative results was Immensa, a company with no experience of PCR tested awarded a £119 million contract after only being in existence for 4 months. Corruption costs lives.

I've been a hearing a lot about how children are more infectious *now* & contribute to transmission because of the B117 variant, but didn't before. This is a myth. Children & schools have always played an important role in transmission. Time to lay this to rest. Thread.

The Imperial report on the new UK B117 strain is out. Very concerning findings, that highlight why we need to act on this *now*. These findings suggest that the situation within the UK is likely to get much worse than it is now. Here's why- Thread.

If you've lived this long and have not had to realise that - *everything*- where you live, what you read, the streets you walk, what you eat, what you feel, where you work, the climate you live in, and even the air you breathe is political, I have news for you: that's privilege.

I still can't get over the fact that Western govts have supported and funded 42 days of bombarding, killing starving, denying clean water, fuel, medicines (including pain killers and life-saving antibiotics) to 2.3 million trapped civilians (including 1 million children)....

Banned from Europe because he treated dying patients in Gaza, & lived to talk about how children were maimed, killed, and then denied basic medication and healthcare by Israel. That's his crime. Got to love how European leaders and conventions go on about 'freedom of expression'.

I am at Charles De Gaule airport. They are preventing me from entering France. I am supposed to speak at the French Senate today. They say the Germans put a 1 year ban on my entry to Europe.

PM just asked about disproportionate impacts on poorer people who may not be able to pay £60-120 for a test, and then lose pay by self-isolating without enough financial support. PM just says that we are 'underestimating the willingness of people to do the right thing' Shameful

.@torontolibrary has apparently removed Refaat's poem under pressure from zionists. Refaat was a poet who wrote about his own death - before the IDF murdered him. He'd want this poem to be shared to keep his hopes, and his spirit alive. Please share.

In the last 2 yrs, I've heard so many discussions in the media on mental health impact of lockdowns/working from home. Will anyone talk about the impact on vulnerable people of being forced into unsafe environments in a raging pandemic because the govt doesn't value their lives?
