Remembering Sandra Bland (7 February 1987 - 13 July, 2015) on the 10th anniversary of her death. May she continue to sleep peacefully ❤️🙏🏾

There’s a VERY good reason asylum seekers get circus tickets and Amazon parcels. But the Mail on Sunday was never going to tell you that. Here’s the crucial detail they left out: 🧵

Dorothy Counts being jeered and taunted by her white peers. She was one of 4 Black students to integrate Charlotte, NC schools in 1957. Due to violence from white students, she left the school 4 days later.

I am proud to be in Bogotá, Colombia for the Emergency Conference to Halt the Gaza Genocide. This is historic — 32 states are taking concrete action to stand up for the Palestinian people. The spirit of humanity is alive, it’s here, and it yearns for justice.

Diane Abbott should had never returned to Labour after the way Starmer treated her. She should have stood as an independent and watch him wince when she held her seat like Jeremy Corbyn did. It was obvious she was going to be suspended again. Labour were waiting for an excuse.

When Frank Hester said that Diane Abbott 'made him hate all Black women' and she 'should be shot'. Instead of supporting Diane Labour used her trauma to raise funds for the party. This is one of many reasons why Diane should have dumped them. BTW Nothing has happened to Hester.

Andrea Gibson • The Madness Vase How transformative it is to let ourselves write the truth— this, as has been so evident here over the years, is the story of my (writing) life. Thinking how, in class, I used to quote from Shadowlands — “we read to know we are not alone”

This country doesn’t deserve the athletes it has playing for them. Rinse and repeat from inadequate racist England fans. So, tell me again that Britain isn’t racist.

So , so honored to be on this longlist with such fantastic writers, some of whom are my friends and one whose novel is my son’s favorite ( I’m not jealous at all:) The Middle Daughter

Empty words cannot hide the truth: your government is complicit in genocide. We are an unstoppable movement for peace, for justice and for Palestine — and we are never, ever going away.

I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation

Michelle Agyemang has arguably been the most important player of this tournament for the Lionesses. But in the Royal Family’s message of support ahead of the final, she’s not pictured or acknowledged at all. Black women aren’t invisible. Let’s stop erasing them.

The Israeli military had a message to the Handala freedom flotilla. Huwaida Arraf had a message back to them, explaining international law and their rightful and just mission to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza with a civilian vessel ‘Handala’.
