If we unite, we can move mountains. @Apple and @tim_cook must clarify why they removed or why there’s no names of Lebanese villages and towns from Apple maps?

A new CDC study published in JAMA today, shows COVID is still killing a substantial number of Americans, with over 100K deaths annually between 2022-2024. ‘Although the Public Health Emergency ended, this study suggests it remains a major driver of mortality among older adults.’

Sky News reported that £1.4bn was spent on supply teachers last year. It has also been estimated that the cost of installing air filters in schools in England would be c£140m. To help push for change, please write to Cllrs, MPs & school leaders

This can’t be true…. anyone want to @grok it for me?

@dlLambo @Apple Same… I had to double-check on my end to believe it @Apple is enabling digital ethnic cleansing

@FlyoverRed @PinoAmericano @bungarsargon @realDonaldTrump At the expense of everyone else in the world?

@PinoAmericano @bungarsargon I hope that a book is published about @realDonaldTrump’s long range plans about Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, the entire geo-political strategy to curtail China &the goal to make America again the powerhouse nation it deserves to be. Trump has been planning this for decades.

And just like that we now understand the importance of Cuba.

The future belongs to men and women of peace. Justice will always triumph over injustice in the end, just as violence will never have the last word, despite all appearances. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

I am genuinely struggling to understand this logic. If the rest of the world is willing to pay a small toll to Iran to keep oil flowing and stabilise markets, then why does the U.S. feel the need to block all shipping, especially when it is not dependent on that oil?

Keir Starmer should rule out the UK joining Donald Trump’s latest escalation in his idiotic war. The UK should be working with other countries to get the US and Iran back to the negotiating table, not fanning the flames of war.

WE. REACHED. A. FUCKING. AGREEMENT. WITH. THEM. IN. 2015. THAT. IMPOSED. STRICT. LIMITS. ON. URANIUM. ENRICHMENT. UNTIL. 2040. It was called the JCPOA. And Trump TORE IT UP IN 2018 out of spite for @BarackObama 8 years later, here we are. Total. Disaster.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s close ally Cardinal Robert McElroy received a standing ovation at the end of his homily, where he called on Catholics to take up civic action to help end the “immoral” war against Iran. “When we leave this church tonight, we must move beyond prayer. As citizens and believers in this democracy that we cherish so deeply, we must advocate for peace with our representatives and leaders. “It is not enough to say we have prayed. We must also act. For it is very possible that the negotiations will fail because of recalcitrance on both sides, and the president will move to re-enter this immoral war. “At that critical juncture, as disciples of Jesus Christ called to be peacemakers in the world, we must answer vocally and in unison: “No. Not in our name. Not at this moment. Not with our country.”

Hey friends, I'm tagging as many people as I can as I am trying to raise money so I can continue my efforts. Started this fund and work about 19 months ago, and if I reach my goal it would back my efforts until March of 2027. The more I raise, the more time I can dedicate to assistance and advocacy. If you've been tagged and want it removed let me know. If you can help out with a donation or a share I would really appreciate it. @themissusb @DrJizo @MiddxMinxx @AZDevil88 @UrbanaK @adelaide_life @floroz3 @stranger_wolves @AntFetamine @mayodweller @Facts_Matter_US @yulingchow @Fred4everM @ontiptoe02 @KLear123 @MaryLewisSmith1 @thecahoonfamily @__ricabee @unicornsftw @allok8 @neembeam @blaqdolphin @crr7310 @Blueskies5556 @JojoSirenita @tothesea7 @SBW25phi2 @BSzawinski @Imanismami @AdelaP @firesheep67 @koat71 @ChrissiePearso1 @tut_tut_tut_tut @RonInCMH

Long after the bombs fall silent, the true toll of war unfolds in silence.The aftermath doesn't just kill bodies, it breaks health systems and futures. Collapsed hospitals, contaminated water, and destroyed sanitation breed disease outbreaks. Malnutrition stunts children for life. Mental trauma, PTSD, anxiety, intergenerational scars lingers for decades. Peace is the primary requirement for health. #LetThereBePeace #war #peace

Please sign this to urgent the Govt to renationalise water. It's too precious to be in private hands.

@DutchNostraDaan @iAmJoshHunt We wish.

@iAmJoshHunt I have a pretty easy solution: come back into the EU. We have plenty of oil, fertilizer, sulfuric acid, and diesel. And we recently adopted very strict migration laws. Everything would be better for England if you were still in the EU, you fools! Just come back!

I want to talk about the scale of what’s coming for the UK over the next three months. Because I don’t think many people have joined the dots yet. The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed for over five weeks. Before this war, 135 ships passed through it every day. Now it’s 5 to 7. Over 600 vessels are still stranded. Iran has mined the strait, is charging tolls, and controlling who passes. The CEO of Abu Dhabi’s national oil company said it this week: “The Strait of Hormuz is not open. Access is being restricted, conditioned and controlled. That is coercion.” Two thirds of Gulf crude has no alternative route. 14 million barrels a day behind a 21-mile chokepoint. Energy bills are forecast to jump 20% in July. From £1,641 to nearly £2,000. The second major energy shock in four years. Petrol up over 15%. Diesel up nearly 30%. Wholesale gas rose 75% in under four weeks. Food inflation could hit 8% by June and 9% by December. Academics advising DEFRA say it could reach 12%. UK food prices are already 38% higher than before Covid. We’re only 62% self-sufficient in food. We import 60% of our nitrogen fertiliser. Red diesel for farming has surged 60%. Average arable farm income has fallen to £17,000, the lowest in over 20 years. Yesterday, China announced it’s halting all sulphuric acid exports from May. Sulphuric acid is essential for phosphate fertilisers, copper mining, oil refining, and battery manufacturing. A third of the world’s sulphur was already blocked by the Hormuz closure. Now the world’s largest exporter has pulled the other lever at the same time. The fertiliser crisis just got significantly worse, heading straight into planting season. Before the war, markets expected rate cuts. Now they’ve priced in two rate rises. Over 1,500 mortgage products have been pulled. Two year fixes have jumped from 4.8% to 5.5%. Nearly £1,000 a year extra on a £200k mortgage. Gone in weeks. Flights are next. A quarter of UK jet fuel comes from Kuwait, behind the strait. In early April, major carriers said they had five to six weeks of reserves. That clock is running. Ryanair’s CEO has warned 5-10% of summer flights could be cancelled. Iran’s strike on Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG complex, which handles 30% of the world’s helium, is estimated to take 3 to 5 years to repair. Helium is critical for semiconductors and MRI machines. That’s not a disruption. That’s structural damage. Chemical and steel manufacturers are imposing surcharges of up to 30%. Analysts are warning of permanent deindustrialisation. European gas storage was at just 30% after a harsh winter. If the strait stays restricted through summer, Europe can’t refill for next winter. In Ireland, fuel protests shut down Dublin for four days. The army was deployed. Over 100 fuel stations ran dry, with warnings of 500 by end of the week. Downing Street has held talks on the potential for mass protests here. The OECD has downgraded the UK more than any other G7 nation. Growth slashed from 1.2% to 0.7%. Inflation forecast nearly doubled to 4%, with some saying it could breach 5%. Starmer and Trump spoke this week about military options to reopen the strait. The UK is leading a 30+ nation coalition. But the ceasefire is already fracturing. Iran re-closed the strait over Israeli strikes on Lebanon. Reeves is boxed in by fiscal rules. Higher gilt yields are eating her headroom. And I haven’t heard a credible plan from anyone in Westminster. Energy. Food. Fertiliser. Aviation fuel. Mortgages. Industrial chemicals. Semiconductors. Shipping. Government borrowing. Political stability. All under stress. All compounding. This country imports 44% of its energy. Has almost no gas storage. Imports most of its food and fertiliser. Gets a quarter of its jet fuel from behind a mined strait. Every structural weakness built up over 20 years is being stress tested at once. The next three months aren’t going to be uncomfortable. They’re going to be defining

New York City’s Mayor just said what most elected officials won’t. “We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.” Mamdani didn’t stop there. Thousands of civilians killed. Tens of billions spent. And every program that gets called “unrealistic” — housing, healthcare, schools — costs a fraction of what this war has already burned through. He’s right.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
