Shutting down Medicaid is an act of violence against the American people. Giving power to Oligarch supporting fascists never works out well for the working and middle classes.

1/4 As Twelfth Night's lights fade, thousands in NI face winter without a home. Beyond statistics lie real stories: families in temporary housing, young people priced out & elderly choosing between heat or food.

Welcome news that the UKG are beginning the process of reforming and replacing the Legacy Act. People’s pain and trauma can’t simply be swept aside for political convenience.

Sorry I missed you today @paulaballiance.bsky.social (Im in Dublin for the European Green Congress) but hopefully see you the next time you are in. The Social Supermarket is an amazing provision for South Belfast.

UK pension fund loses more than Β£350m with waste incinerator power plants Shareholder accuses Aviva Investors of β€˜calamitous’ investments as three sites expected to go bust

In NI we are headed into our crisis of this kind if the ARC21 incinerator at Hightown is built.

In our case it won’t be pension funds left on the hook for the costs, it will be Councils like Ards & North Down.

One of the best things about this platform (so far) is the opportunity to connect with so many new people. Loving this and the general sense of humanity 😊

πŸ’ͺ When local communities lead on climate action, the results are powerful. We support empowering people to create the change they want to see.

🌱 Grassroots solutions can make a big impact on climate change. Let’s support NI communities in taking charge of their environmental future.

Hope for me too or you feed the nihilism but agree 100% that could need a bit of explaining and needs to be rooted in solid evidence based solutions πŸ’š
