SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £40,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year

How do I get @OVOEnergy to reduce my Direct Debit? They are basing my Direct Debit payment on a bar chart that is NOTHING like the actual bills they sent me - if you're an OVO customer it's probably happening to you too! #ovo #ovoscam #ofgem @ofgem #costofliving #energybills

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.
Don’t you dare act surprised.
Want a social media platform that isn't run by #Elonmusk, doesn't include #Trump and other #Insurrectionist #extremists? It's smaller but kinder and based in reality. Mastodon.

The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives.

The Statue of Liberty doesn’t say “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, and then throw them on a bus for some cheap political stunt.”
This is America. And these are human beings – not props. We're better than this. 🇺🇸
I'm not exactly 'thrilled' with Elon Musk's approach to running Twitter. 🤮
I'm trying out the much smaller, kinder, and non-commercial alternative: Mastodon. You can use the link below if you'd like to join. Hope to see you there!

My concern with Twitter has really nothing to do with the $8 per month. It’s that on day 2, Elon shared a conspiracy theory, and then joked about it after deleting. I was open minded until that moment. This will become truth social… a crazy echo chamber.

Memo to the media: Please don't say inflation is at a 40-year high without also mentioning that corporate profits are at a 70-year high. Give the people the full picture.

Good thing they tried to outlaw the Bill of Rights and Magna Carta today
Otherwise you’d be discussing yesterday’s hearing on how Trump took over the DOJ with a partner from Kirkland & Ellis to overthrow the government

The unemployment rate was 6.4% when I took office. Now, because of our economic plans, it’s down to 3.6%.
That’s the fastest decline in unemployment ever recorded.
US Supreme Court apparently set to overturn Roe v. Wade.
How will the US help care for nearly 400,000 poor babies of single mothers per year and the mothers pushed deeper into poverty?

@sse @OVOEnergy billed me for 9K kWh (£2K - before prices went up!) when smart meter/In Home Display showed 5K kWh. SSE say IHDs can't be trusted.
Do you know your energy use could be 80% higher than the display tells you? @ofgem #energybills @MoneySavingExp
So, IHDs are massively inaccurate? Why are they being recommended so highly if they can seem to be working fine but be off by nearly 100%? Or should not everything your energy supplier says be believed? Who to believe? #smartmeter @sse @OVOEnergy @MoneySavingExp

Today SSE Airtricity announced a 24% increase in the price of their '100% green' electricity. The cost of wind has not gone up.
On Tuesday SSE announced earnings for the last year will be up to 17% higher than expected.
This is pure war profiteering. We need price controls.
Why are progressives reinforcing Putin's propaganda? The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.

Dear #antivaxxers:
Getting vaccinated doesn't violate your human rights. There's no conspiracy.
If you need medical attention, we'll never say "I told you so."
Even if you hate us, we’ll still care about you.
Please. Get. Vaccinated.
Signed,
An exhausted health worker
