💥Suella Braverman accused of ignoring legal advice that govt was illegally detaining thousands of asylum seekers. 

Very grim - and so many sources speaking out suggests all is not well in home office.

The situation for people held at the Manston detention camp is very bleak. No access to phones, lawyers and without the support of NGOs.

Young children and families locked up amidst an outbreak of diptheria and MRSA.

The National Front used to say in the 1970's "send them back to Africa." In 2022 it's actual govt policy.

The 30 years of anti muslim culture wars to dehumanise & justify genocidal "humanitarian interventions" enabled the far right to capture power in various Western capitals.

@helencoulshed Hi, we’re not the working group, that’s @kcldecol! We’re a student society :)

[Leah Cowan @leahacowan]

Today, on the anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire, an act of gross intentional structural violence by a state that has built its wealth on the premise that Black lives do not matter, we fight against proposed deportations to Rwanda. There is a colonial through-line here.

[Stop Deportations @StpDeportations]

🚨🚨🚨EVERYONE WILL BE TAKEN OFF THE FLIGHT!!

NOONE WILL BE DEPORTED TO RWANDA TONIGHT!!

We have won today, but we will continue the fight tomorrow and against EVERY racist deportation ✊🏾✊🏾🔥🔥

EXCLUSIVE: between the years of 2017 and 2021, 90% of all raids conducted by the home office were done without a warrant. incredible investigation by @JackBarton91, read more here: https://t.co/hpMNOYTGSG

As we resist the UK's border regime, we have to show up and support each other. Help us raise money to cover legal fees for three protesters facing criminal charges for an anti-deportation action at Brook House - please share widely and donate if you can! https://t.co/MNDIUKuoY2

[oestrogeneration @oestrogenration]

abortion and trans rights both pose a serious threat to the patriarchy by promoting bodily autonomy - those fights go hand in hand, and the increased global weighing down on both is inevitably due to the liberatory potential those movements allow for

[Visualizing Palestine @visualizingpal]

1/ THREAD: Today, we invite you to learn about how Israeli academic institutions uphold state structures of colonialism and apartheid.

"the bot will be calibrated based on a person's ethnicity, language and gender" 🤢

Nothing to see here, just another example of a disgusting dystopian surveillance technology brought to you by the border industry, which never fails to find new ways to make the world hostile.

[Sisters Uncut @SistersUncut]

There are 683 police officers deployed in schools across the country—disproportionally in working class areas with Black and brown students. Students face a culture of low expectations, personal targeted intimidation, and as we've seen today, physical and emotional abuse.

Very proud to be creating an anti-racist journal on racial health inequalities and racism in academia. Follow our Twitter for calls for authors and editors. Thanks to @RicardoTwumasi @JBWjw2011 @NkasiStoll @AnnaEhsan @sanchika_c and many others for their support.

I work full time in university admin and I do not earn enough to afford the rising cost of living. I pay 42% of my salary on rent, and my other bills are rising while my wage doesn’t. I am constantly sick with stress over money while the VC earns £368k per year.
