[Michael Spicer @MrMichaelSpicer]

saying 'stop the boats' over and over again as if they don't have human beings in them leads to libraries being torched. if you want someone to blame, blame the right wing media and all those mps who made immigration a dirty word in the last election.

[Nicholas Poole OBE Hon. FCLIP @NickPoole1]

When you arrive at the doors of the #library, it doesn't ask where you came from or why you're there. It doesn't ask you to prove you're worthy of admission. It recognises your basic humanity, welcomes you in and empowers you. I wish they made countries like they make #libraries

I don’t usually share identifiable photos. But this is so powerful by Victoras Antonopoulos

Two Syrian brothers reunited after the tragedy in Greece. He came to find his brother who’s just 18, fearing he had drowned. Remember this photo when they lie to you about safe routes.

Refugees aren't the reason you can’t get a Hospital appointment

Refugees aren't the reason you could not eat this week

Refugees aren't the reason the country has food banks & high energy prices

Refugees aren't the reason you can’t get a home

[Lewisham Refugee and Migrant Network (LRMN) @LRMNetwork]

The gov's new #antirefugee laws create an environment filled with precarity + anxiety

We must counter this with a language of hope, welcome + sanctuary in order to support #sanctuaryseekers across our communities

Join us to build #sanctuary❤️

The UK Government are trying to rip up the human rights of some of the most vulnerable people in society.

So, here’s a little thread of some of the things they don’t want you to be reminded of right now:

@faizaawan04 Fabulous news! X

[NBC News @NBCNews]

The bill, which would prohibit books depicting sexual or gender identity, proposes up to 30 days imprisonment for librarians who refuse to remove banned titles. https://t.co/JQhf0rLdsB

[Freedom from Torture🧡 @FreefromTorture]

The government is trying to get us to take this video down.

They'd hate it for you to RT
