- Reposted by Leona VaughnOvernight the UK bombed Yemen In 2020 Starmer said blindly following the Americans was the wrong thing to do & he promised to pass legislation that said military action could be taken if you got the consent of the Commons. Did you get that consent Keir?

- Reposted by Leona VaughnThere are many wild things in Trump's EO about History but one that especially caught my eye was the complaint that the American Art Museum promoted the view that "race is not a biological reality." It's not! That's a true statement! The idea that race is biological was the foundation of racism!
- Today I saw a video of a father in Gaza holding the head of his child. A head not attached to his son's body. This is what 'standing by' a genocidal entity means. I can't understand how any government, any human being can be ok with this 💔

- Reposted by Leona VaughnThe language of "smuggling gangs" is used to justify anti-migrant legislation. Using the language of #intermediaries emphasises the policy decisions that force migrants to turn intermediaries in the first place: the criminalisation of safe routes. Let's use this language instead. buff.ly/H8UBLiF
