I’ve reluctantly verified our account. I hate supporting illiberal figures like Elon Musk, but the X algorithm seems to work against human rights organisations & activists. Our engagement has dropped significantly & we can’t let our voice be silenced. #HumanRights #TwitterAlgorithm

Witnessing the rise of Nazis in Germany Hannah Arendt said: “The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture on the verge of descending into barbarism”. Where is UK heading - attacks on minorities; massive poverty? leftfootforward.org/2026/03/is-the…

NEVER FORGET the 1961 Sharpeville massacre by the apartheid police And NEVER FORGET the Matabeleland massacres by President Mugabe in Zimbabwe in the 1980s. 20,000 killed! That’s the equivalent of a Sharpeville massacre every day for 9 months - but no global outcry. SHAME!

#OtD 21 Mar 1960 the Sharpeville massacre occurred in South Africa after armed police fired on anti-apartheid protesters. Shooting went on for 2 minutes, after which 69 Black Africans were dead and 180 seriously wounded, many in the back as they fled stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8021/s…

@PeterTatchell Peter. I just wonder. If your views are - essentially the same as the governments - nuanced - then why bother going out on the street with placards. If you feel really strongly anti govt policy. Fine. But - must as you maybe hate it - ur a centerist

Iran war is illegal. All sides are killing civilians. STOP the WAR The war is creating ecological catastrophe with the bombing & burning of oil / gas fields It’s an economic disaster that worsens the cost of living crisis by pushing up energy & food prices Food shortages next?
