People have the right to peaceful protest.
People have a right to question why our tax money went to a 200M celebration while 1 in 3 families have no secure source of food.
Most progress from the universal franchise to climate change legislation was won through dissent.
I realized I hadn't posted a rejection letter in awhile so here's one from today ⬇️
Rejection letters suck obviously. They make you curl up and cry. That's the process right?
For this: 2nd time applying, 2 applications, 4 essays, 2x video statements, dozens of feedback calls.
After the areas were liberated by #Ukraine 🇺🇦, the 7 Sri Lankans tried to walk to Kharkiv again. When they found a hotel on their way, the security guard there took them in, looked after them, and called the police. They’re now safe, the police is investigating their case.
However, they were stopped at the first Russian checkpoint that they tried to cross. The Russians blindfolded them and took them in an unknown direction (later turned out to be Vovchansk, also occupied until a few days ago).
The 6 men and 1 woman, all aged 20-40, arrived in Ukraine around 3 weeks before the all-out invasion and rented a house in Kupiansk (which was occupied until a few days ago). They were hiding in their house for some time until they decided to try and flee into Kharkiv(under UA🇺🇦)
Insane story from Kharkiv region’s police: 7 Sri Lankans, who were in #Ukraine 🇺🇦 for work and studies, were kidnapped by Russians 🇷🇺, beaten, had their nails torn off, and forced to work for free (clean).
My piece in @ipaperviews:
The real question isn’t about what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle get up to on this UK trip but whether the Royal family will once again fail to realise just what it has lost. #MeghanMarkIe
