@BBCWomansHour @Emmabarnett tone towards Rafia Zakaria just now was painful to listen to. She blindly demonstrates Zakaria’s point on white feminists’ denial of advantage or power they may have in aligning with white structures.

@MelClements91 Seriously? :) The no smoking signs and ashtrays were there for years after it was banned. You must be a whippersnapper.

The police are assaulting women grieving a woman allegedly murdered by one of their own.

This is a disgusting affront and we should all march tomorrow.

[Philippa Rice @PhilippaRice]

I will try and do hourly comic day tomorrow if I can manage it. Last year I did a few and gave up 😅

Dear @BBCNews,

No, the UK has not "maxxed out" its credit card 💳

We invite you to watch this video to learn how public finances really work.

Share if you think reporters should be educated in basic economics 👇

The head of the government’s vaccine taskforce has failed to publicly declare that she manages private investments in two companies involved in the race to develop coronavirus drugs https://t.co/tpcDQeiPps

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.

It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.

Today is a good day.

We know that there has sadly been a number of maternal suicides since March. This is just devastating. Women and their families are being chronically let down & it just isn't good enough. We can't lose any more mums. #lockdownbabies #MaternalSuicidePreventionWeek

@guardian anything to say on Starmer’s dismissal of #BLM movement as a ‘moment’ and defunding the police as ‘nonsense’? Can’t find it on your site.

[Justin Schlosberg @jrschlosberg]

I'm told Keir Starmer's Political Secretary Jenny Chapman told concerned MPs that this quote was taken from a legal letter and was not issued as a Labour comment. This is untrue. It was sent to us by Labour's Press office, not by the Party's lawyers. 1/4

Damning piece by @Annamckie on planned job cuts and structural racism at @GoldsmithsUoL. Solidarity with the virtual picket as it continues for a second day. #saveourjobs https://t.co/MiLwmO5UhV

[Forensic Architecture @ForensicArchi]

Open letter @GoldsmithsUoL Communications team, in solidarity with our colleagues @CleanersFor @GoldsmithsUCU @GoldAntiRacism. Until clear demands are met by SMT @FCorner, we do not want our work used to obfuscate this struggle & the devastating effects of inequality #saveourjobs

4 August 2011, Tottenham, north London: Mark #Duggan is shot dead by police, after his minicab is pulled over by undercover armed police. He leaps out, turns, and is shot twice. Officers said he was holding a gun - but could this be true? Our latest: https://t.co/UBMMj17I3v

[Meg Ferguson @megferguson]

As perm staff @GoldsmithsUoL, I'm calling on @FCorner to protect the 472 staff, 75% of which are BAME, from redundancy. In Art, this means losing 5 of 6 BAME academics. On Tues you said 'racism of any form is not tolerated'. This is systemic racism. #saveourjobs
