The micro-aggressions are daily, the abuse regular, and the threat of violence constant. I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who feel different. Because only then you might glean what those flags going up signify to someone who looks like me. 3/

Twice had to explain to different people that care home staff don't "stand around playing on their phones" while others are working, they're keeping a real-time record of every patient's handling on the care home's app.

Many of us would much rather share our country with people that risked their life to be here, than those who are born here but spend all of their time & energy on resentment, hatred, and conspiring to harm.

Going to have to stop exasperating 'And this from a Labour government.' It's a new party that is unrecognisable. Mean-spirited, pandering to the right, lacking vision, incoherent

Lo del traslado de gente a cárceles del Salvador son desparecidos, hay que dejarse de eufemismos, son desaparecidos. Mañana podrían decidir tirarlos al mar desde el avión. A gente que cogen al azar por la calle. Esta es la realidad de EEUU. Si esto termina tiene que haber un juicio de Nuremberg
