Donna Hughes Brown is an Irish citizen who's lived in the US most of her life.

She holds a green card and is married with American kids & grandkids.

ICE grabbed her anyways. The reason? A bad cheque she wrote for $25 decades ago.

It's been paid back.

She will now spend Thanksgiving in custody

Perhaps you have not heard much about Gaza these days

Because Social media is shadow-banning/restricting Palestinian coverage

Because Israelis banned Al Jazeera from Gaza

Because Ellison—Satanyahu’s biggest funder—now owns TikTok

The public has far less onsite verification of what’s happening

People fleeing war and persecution are ready and able to contribute to our society.

The problem is... they're not allowed.

Rather than shipping them off to army barracks all over the country, it's time to let asylum seekers work.

Remember in the UK it's not:

Transphobia, it's gender critical
Islamaphobia, it's Muslim critical
Racism, it's race critical
Homophobia, it's same sex critical

All dogwhistles used to undermine and gaslight minorities.

“We were absolutely gobsmacked.”

48 courses axed, music, languages, mental health care, childcare.
No consultation. No vision.

This is why we’re voting YES, to stop the destruction of our universities.

Good to see the Manchester Evening News getting their asses sued they thought they could say anything they liked and thought a Black artist wouldn’t take action. Good for Bob Vylan.

The EHRhas sent a new draft Code of Practice which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life.

The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret?

Sky News just had Kelvin Mackenzie on, former editor of The Sun, one of the people at the centre of probably the most disgraceful front page in newspaper history, complaining about BBC journalists not being objective and 'fake news'. Astonishing. ~AA

Tim Davie;

went to an expensive private school,

went to Cambridge,

was a Tory candidate,

was deputy chair of a Conservative Party Association,

was installed during the reign of a corrupt Tory prime minister.
So Tim Davie has resigned from the BBC over a failure to be impartial in relation to Trump.

Once.

The BBC has failed to be impartial about trans people since Davie's tenure started.

Systematically and regularly.

So why did he not resign over these?

There is a concerted, sustained attack against disabled people by the media and government. Both here in the UK and elsewhere.

However, there is no recourse for their blatant misinformation and disinformation.

There are no consequences.

They can lie, then lie some more, and get away with it all.

This is horrifying.

ICE has been failing to meet its daily quota and as a result they’ve grabbed children, disabled people, citizens and literally anyone else they can get their hands on.

If they convert warehouses into huge camps, no one will be safe:

Abled folk imagine being disabled and unable to work like a day of annual leave, where they can do whatever they want.

In reality, it’s like a sick day, where you are unable to do anything you want, because your body is unable to function.

And not just one day, but every day.

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act. The absolute tumbleweed from the media & gov shows just how much they want to bury how much disabled people fought and still fight for our rights.
