If anyone can make it to Folkestone today, please please turn up and get together to say no more deaths in the Channel.

Being able to turn out really good work at the last minute is the absolute worst and most self-destructive skill a person can have. I’m sure I’ve told you all the story about submitting my Masters thesis at 8:54 on the morning of my actual wedding, no?

Politicians say they’ll do whatever it takes to stop the boats & the drownings.

But the one thing they won’t do is give people safe alternative ways to travel.
So we’ll always be waiting for the next tragedy.

Safe routes are the only thing that will stop the smugglers #r4today

“plenty of people have died on small boats trying to cross the channel”

this from sky news is a disgrace. these are human beings who lost lives. someone somewhere loves them. they had a story, dreams, hopes. imagine referring to tragic death in such a casual way. unforgivable.

Thinking about this Ethan Hawke interview

This is a response to me saying that even people with refugee status are scared of being sent to Rwanda. This is why I’ve dramatically scaled back my use of this hellsite.

A young person who has had refugee status for years messaged me this morning to ask if they’re going to send all refugees, including him, to Rwanda. Even people who should be rebuilding their lives in safety are still living in fear of this ghoulish government.

Why the word cope suddenly everywhere? It must pop up on my timeline about 5 times a day at the moment despite rarely being seen about a month ago. And not to sound out of the loop or anything, but what does it even mean? ‘This is cope, doing that is cope’ what are you saying???

seeing lots of ‘devastated rwanda plan passed’ tweets + think it’s really important we’re accurate.

rwanda plan already passed. what went through yday was legislation which allows the govt to ignore human rights + courts bc they’re inconvenient which is somehow more terrifying

Yep, I was on £14,000 a year working in a council call centre and I was able to rent a one-bed flat in Portsmouth quite happily. This should not be a ridiculous pipe-dream for young people today.

I would highly suggest following and supporting Freedom from Torture🧡 in their campaign to get AirTanker to refuse to take any part in this governments inhumane and cruel #Rwanda plan.

I’m not sure about petitions. And I know they shouldn’t be necessary for this. But only 44 signatures needed on this one. Make them try and rationalise their actions against Palestinian people.

The biggest problem is not Western journalists being unable to enter, but the fact that Western media doesn't respect and value Palestinian journalists. My colleagues and I risk our lives every day to report on this genocide . No one knows Gaza like we do, and no one understands

High net migration on her watch does not, by any measure, make her ‘the most liberal Home Secretary on immigration ever.’ She brought absolute terror to the lives of very vulnerable people and introduced the horrific Nationality and Borders Act 2022. What planet are you on?

'It's nothing specific about the biology that makes you a woman - it's part of the picture.'

'How you live with that is a question of history, it's a question of freedom.'

Judith Butler expertly debunks right-wing attempts to trivialise the question 'what is a woman?'

Not enough people know about Ibrahima. As a child he wanted to claim asylum in the U.K. he didn’t have the money to pay smugglers. They did him a deal, tiller the boat - travel for free. That way if anything goes wrong smugglers don’t die or get arrested - not even on the boat.
