It’s been two years since I waived my media anonymity following my rape case. I was sick of hearing about that “promising young man” and not THIS promising young woman. HE was the “talented athlete” whose medical career was ruined, I was just “victim”… I needed to reclaim me.

At least 118 children remain missing from hotels they were dumped in. New report finds they’ve likely been trafficked from gov run facilities. A gut wrenching scandal. How dare they treat children this way just because they weren’t born here.

Colonialism is abusing Japanese people in Japan and then being comforted by a white man saying “they don’t understand.” The only country to be collectively punished hy nuclear weapons doesn’t understand war crimes?

And I'm sorry, but where's Keir Starmer? If it was Muslims rioting across the country, you bet there'd be a Downing Street press conference. People of colour need to be visibly reassured that this country is safe for them.
