You put Suella Braverman in charge. You called asylum seekers “illegal immigrants”, knowing they’re not. You gave money, millions, to Rwanda instead of funding the processing of asylum applications. You placated the far-right with ever more violent rhetoric. You did this.

I packed a small bag, said goodbye to parents, sobbing on the way, thinking I might never see them again. That's how I left Afghanistan in the midst of war, fearing for my life. What I also brought with me to the UK was a dream to rebuild my life. As a timid teenager because of

For nine months the press has deliberately misrepresented peaceful marches for palestine as hate marches, particularly painting muslims as terrorist sympathisers. That will have also fed into what is happening now.

Can we have some solidarity #geography community? Muslim, Black and Global Majority people are under attack. Education hasn't worked. Children are impacted the most. You know when you have privilege.

Got to muse about the power and possibility of map collections in this special issue of TIBG, which features me and the plenary speakers ahead of #aic2024 (August 27-30 Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) ). The conference theme is mapping and it’s full of great papers and events! rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14755661/0…

deeply depressing to read a piece about the closure of the Birmingham Centre for Cultural Studies & Sociology which says that at least Goldsmiths had been able to develop these academic fields and 'became an exceptional locus for cultural studies inside the UK'

I just love how the media was all up for a night of wild violent news, but all Sky News and everyone else can see is thousands upon thousands of people all over the UK telling the fascists to fuck off. 😎 #FaragesRiots
