But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.
What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

Following coverage over the weekend of Sir Paul Nurse's comments that suggested that the only reason that a Fellow should be expelled from @royalsociety.org is scientific misconduct, I have written to him to explain the risks such an attitude poses of increasing sexual harassment in STEM.

I’ve seen first-hand the utter devastation road deaths cause — families shattered in seconds, lives permanently changed. To dismiss this as an “utter non-problem” is wrong and deeply offensive.
The acceptance of this devastation reflects a lack of knowledge and ambition. We can do so much better.

According to David Frost, a road casualty toll which involves an average of 80+ people *every single day* either dying or suffering injuries which could change their life forever is an "utter non-problem".

Very telling how The Telegraph positions kindness as an unaffordable luxury. Personally I see The Telegraph as an unaffordable luxury, and their circulation figures back me up.
The Telegraph highlighting - yet missing - two vital points here.
1) We're not calling for £476m to be spent. It already is - this is about diverting it to actually helping.
2) Why "cruelty" in question? The £476m we're spending is part of an operation tear gassing babies.
