It’s devastating to watch history repeat itself in real time

Streets that once held laughter, markets full of life, and rooms full of memories — all flattened

Just when we thought we couldn’t unsee #Gaza, #Lebanon is being torn apart the same way

And the world watches, again, with statements instead of action

How many more children, how many more cities, how many more griefs will it take before we demand real accountability and a ceasefire on humanity itself ?

We can’t keep looking away

@AlexSanterne @unesco Unfortunately, don't expect this in Thriftstore Britain. UK plc can't even sort out a functional nuclear power station despite flailing about with privatised companies since they sold off the country's nuclear heritage in the 1980s. Along with anything else of value. Hey, but we pay lower taxes as a result ⬅️that's ironic, BTW.

This week, I had the opportunity to stay 2 nights at the Pic du Midi #Observatory, in the french Pyrénées. I captured some #timelapse from this site, which is still magical.

I was astonished by the dynamism of this observatory: new domes, new #instruments, new projects and new buildings. #Research in #astronomy in the metropolitan #France is performing like a charm.

I fully support its application to the @unesco !

Forty days of war crimes

“How do you lose a war against a country with one-tenth the wealth of the U.S.?

Be the first to fire a missile. When the missile is a precision-guided cruise missile, and it hits the target it was aimed at, and the target turns out to be a school full of children, and the well-aimed missile kills 180 schoolgirls, you have already lost the war and just don’t know it yet.” - @LuciankTruscottIV

@ZekuZelalem The UAE has an ongoing propensity for generalised vileness, especially in Africa. This is carefully disguised by a load of PR fluff (-vileness briefly revealed with their response to tourists filming drone strikes). Wouldn't it be great if Trump inadvertently broke that mask with his ongoing Gulf escapade & the UAE get properly found out to be a premium bunch of oily shits?

My latest for Middle East Eye: satellite imagery analysis reveals that an Ethiopian army base in western Ethiopia is being used by Sudan's genocidal RSF militia as a logistics and weapons supply hub. From the base, the RSF have crossed into Sudan and launched attacks on Sudanese army positions. Sources we've reached in Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia all say the initiative is backed by the UAE.

In collaboration with researchers from Yale University.

Bruce Springsteen’s anti-Trump statement from his Minneapolis tour opener. Here’s true patriotism for you, and I agree with every word…
Let me be crystal clear. The vast majority of American Jews are disgusted by settler violence in Israel. I’m turning off replies only because my heart today can’t take the antisemitism that this clear statement will unfortunately evoke.

RT: @narindertweets Caroline Lucas: “Do you trust this man (Reform’s James Orr), I would like to ask you?”
Caroline Lucas: “Because I have a vision of a bus with £350m”

Everyone Laughs.

Fiona Bruce interrupts unnecessarily with "but there are people in this audience who support Reform"

And?
