Did you know that methane gas (farming is the main source of methane) has 80 times the warming power of CO2 but it breaks down after about 12 years, versus centuries for CO2. #Bloomberg

Over 50 boats, from 44 countries across 6 continents The largest flotilla in modern history Sailing to break an 18yr illegal 🇮🇱 siege of Gaza 🇵🇸 To feed starving children To stop a genocide Mainstream media is silent And western ‘leaders’ are silent. twitter.com/Polytikles/sta…

I'm only just settling into 2025. Seeing Xmas crackers for sale in the #gardenscentre this morning freaked me out.

Not only are they killing people (children, women and men), they are flattening ancient buildings and destroying farmland, writes @GeorgeMonbiot #holocide #genocide theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

🚨CNN’s Matthew Chance joins the Jordanian air force in a flight over Gaza and gets an aerial view of the widespread destruction caused by the Israeli military after almost two years of genocide war.

Yesterdays Mothers for Gaza's silent march in Cape Town was very moving. Powerless to do anything, solidarity is all I can offer. Thank you to everyone who organised this.

Personal and professional news: after a decade in the Middle East, I’m going home to be the Guardian’s first Wales correspondent since the 80s. I’m returning as a different person, and Wales is a different country to the one I left. bit.ly/4iYhRTj

I've posted this image twice already this evening here and it's been deleted twice. I'll try again without the comment. You can imagine what I said.

@nytimes shame on you for calling the gen%c*de "tensions"!

@nytimes shame on you for calling the genocide "tensions".

This is shocking and disgusting. theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…

#humanrightsday is a good time to reflect on the rights we've gained and the many more we need. I am grateful to be living in 🇿🇦 where so many people work hard towards building a just society in this beautiful land. @netanyahu @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump you've got life all wrong.

@shaunmmaguire This is the craziest 49 minutes of TV 📺 I've watched in a while. Europe step up fast. You can't leave this up to Trump #zelensky

I recommend watching the full conversation between Trump and Zelensky before forming strong opinions (This is true for any situation)

Palestinian babies are not spontaneously freezing to death. They are being deliberately subjected to conditions calculated to terminate life. In other words, they are being murdered. The cause of death is not the cold, but the genocide being perpetrated by Israel and the US.

Interesting to be at @TheEconomist Sustainability Week Africa and to think about sustainable fashion in a a dominant economic logic.
