I am becoming... 🏴 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ BTW I don't do Chat.
For many, today is the last weekend before school restarts. Sorting uniform, finding books, preparing to be reunited with friends. For my kid, who won't be returning to school, it is a time of huge uncertainty. We don't yet have a clear path forward. English schools are no longer a viable option.
Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2
This is Mitchell Palmer, Reform UK’s ‘economic adviser’ breaking news today is that he has advised selling off or privatising the NHS - ending the pensions triple lock and repealing the equality and human rights laws. Yup Party of the people folks!!🤮
For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.
"Canada has all the resources we need to pivot and to prosper." "[the United States] is trying to break us so they can own us. Canada is becoming stronger and less dependent on [the US]. We are already giving ourselves more than they can take away. And we are just getting started." #cdnpoli
Canada has suspended trade talks with the United States and will match US 50% tariffs dollar-for-dollar. “You’re at war when you get attacked. We got attacked — America is trying to break us so they can own us. That will never, ever happen." #cdnpoli
Breaking my heart this morning: “Fitting ankle monitors on noncitizens without a criminal history who remain in compliance with their immigration cases has little precedent.” True in the narrowest sense. False given how the history of slavery and peonage roars through each part of this story.
In Ohio, Haitians Feel Shaken by Ankle Monitors and Increased ICE Presence
The devices, which will make it easier for authorities to locate immigrants in Springfield if large-scale deportations begin, have intensified a sense of dread.

Siding with the enemy over one of our longtime allies. AGAIN. He is unquestionably an existential threat to our Democracy. #Impeach-Convict-REMOVE
Every single journalist in Britain should read this searing essay by Will Self
Jason Arday: J'Accuse the British Media
After the death of Jason Arday, Will Self asks what happens when the media machine mistakes what interests the public for the public interest.

This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.
Ofcom, the Met, Parliament need to take a look at coverage like this from Pearson and The Telegraph after the Jason Arday tragedy. Unconscionable bile. #r4today
Sending love to Jason Arday's family and friends. He was subject of sustained and malicious media attacks which were no doubt more vicious because he was Black. We must now reflect on the impact of a trial by some of the media and online on someone under extreme pressure.

"On 6 May, the BMA's own review was published. It said that the government's actions went beyond the recommendations of the Cass Review, and that the Review provided no evidential basis for a puberty blocker ban." www.wearequeeraf.com/exclusive-re...
Reporting about British Medical Association critique of Cass Review was 'factually wrong'
The mainstream media's reporting of vital information about trans healthcare was wrong. Again.
