My ten year old daughter was asked to define what the word 'community' meant in a lesson yesterday.

Her response: "a safe place".

Pause.

Me: *Draws line through the wordy paragraph I was mentally preparing*

Amen. To. This.

🚨BREAKING ‼️ Excellent news that Court of Appeal has ruled Braverman's utterly inhumane, grotesquely immoral & totally unworkable #Rwanda scheme to be illegal too - & in clear breach of human rights law. Time for an asylum policy which treats people with respect & dignity.

'*All* trans women are held accountable for *any* misdemeanour by *any* trans woman. This is the very epitome of prejudice. “You cannot share our toilets, you cannot share our spaces, because you might be all the same.��' Amen to this (from 2020, + even more of a must-read now)👇

Oh @drwilding. One of the kindest, most talented, smartest and most universally appreciated people I know. A relentless, inspiring joy on this platform that will be missed by those who remain, if anyone does. You made twitter better.

Nicola Sturgeon rips into Suella Braverman over her I have a dream comments

"My dream is that we live in a world where those fleeing violence & oppression are shown compassion & are treated like human beings, not shown the door & bundled onto planes like unwanted cargo"
