The regime forced the landing @Ryanair plane in Minsk to arrest journalist and activist Raman Pratasevich. He faces the death penalty in Belarus. We demand immediate release of Raman, @ICAO investigation, and sanctions against Belarus.

I have asked @eucopresident to expand tomorrow's #EUCO agenda and discuss immediate sanctions against A. Lukashenka regime. Hijacking of a civilian plane is an unprecedented act of state terrorism. It cannot go unpunished.

Perhaps Dawkins could tell us how many people with DS have started wars, enslaved people, doled out billions to friends for non-materialising goods/services, maimed and murdered millions for being different, run concentration camps, etc. I'll wait.
"How do you think it's immoral to bring a child with Down Syndrome into the world?" @RadioBrendanRTE spoke with Professor Richard Dawkins who believes children with Down Syndrome can potentially increase the amount of suffering in the world. Listen back: bit.ly/3fcoH90

When people complain that the news is always upsetting or scary, show them this Pixar movie pitch, Roshan the camel:
Meet Roshan the camel, who carries a library of books to children in Pakistan 🐪📚
Replying to @Baddiel
Instrumentalization of the tragedy of Jews who suffered, were humiliated, marked with a yellow star, and finally isolated in ghettos and murdered during the Holocaust, in order to argue against vaccination that saves human lives is a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decline.

From someone who cares more about the declassification of Pluto than football, this is true. Here's to showing good manners on social media.
If you're thinking of tweeting something like "Football? Yawn. Boring. Don't care", stop. Think. Delete. When it's something you're not personally interested in, it's fully ok to just... not tweet about it. Wild concept, I know

We welcome the removal of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s ankle tag, but Iran’s continued treatment of her is intolerable. She must be allowed to return to the UK as soon as possible to be reunited with her family

Organ donation saves lives! An incredible development!
Using a pioneering machine, British medics have been able to reanimate hearts from donors whose hearts had stopped. The technique has saved the lives of six British children aged from 12 to 16. thetimes.co.uk/article/nhs-s…
I hope they leave prison with job offers waiting for them. Let journalists do their jobs!
