There is something incredibly telling about the power of transphobic rhetoric & media bias that the writer of this headline thought it relevant to mention the teenager being transgender, but *not* that they are a white supremacist who spent hours daily in online neo-Nazi groups.

🚨REVEALED: @BhamCityCouncil has spent nearly £8m on agency labour to break the bins strike. Let that sink in: A Labour council has spent £8m of your money to break a strike by its workers who face losing £8,000 a year!

👮‍♂️ It is unlawful for an employer to use agency/other staff to cover the work of strikers

💰 The council could fix this strike for much less than it is spending on busting it.

I can’t fully express how I feel reading this report as a Black employee of UofEdinburgh. But I feel the weight of this history in the present. Everyday. I can only express gratitude right now for everyone who led this project for years.

Get rid of your Ring camera, now.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

Ring cameras are partnering with Axon (makers of police body cameras, among other police tech) to make a new feature that allows people to opt-in to police being able to live-stream everything the doorbell camera sees AND allow police to request footage directly from users

Today we’re proud to share the UK’s largest ever report into Black women’s maternity experiences.

Over 1,100 Black women responded to our survey, and what they told us is deeply concerning.

This report tells a story of feeling ignored, dismissed, and mistreated.

It’s time to do better #FiveXMore #blackmereport
