‘It’s wrong’: Grandmother detained by ICE to spend Thanksgiving in jail despite legal status Loved ones say a grandmother will be spending Thanksgiving behind bars after being detained by ICE.

Donna Hughes Brown is an Irish citizen who's lived in the US most of her life.

She holds a green card and is married with American kids & grandkids.

ICE grabbed her anyways. The reason? A bad cheque she wrote for $25 decades ago.

It's been paid back.

She will now spend Thanksgiving in custody

Perhaps you have not heard much about Gaza these days

Because Social media is shadow-banning/restricting Palestinian coverage

Because Israelis banned Al Jazeera from Gaza

People fleeing war and persecution are ready and able to contribute to our society.

The problem is... they're not allowed.

Rather than shipping them off to army barracks all over the country, it's time to let asylum seekers work.

It would never occur to Emily that she is at all ideological, or that she and her crank pals were imposing their views and desires upon others. What do you mean, ideology! We’re doing Science

Remember in the UK it's not:

Transphobia, it's gender critical
Islamaphobia, it's Muslim critical
Racism, it's race critical
Homophobia, it's same sex critical

All dogwhistles used to undermine and gaslight minorities.

Good to see the Manchester Evening News getting their asses sued they thought they could say anything they liked and thought a Black artist wouldn’t take action. Good for Bob Vylan.

The EHRhas sent a new draft Code of Practice which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life.

The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret?

Sky News just had Kelvin Mackenzie on, former editor of The Sun, one of the people at the centre of probably the most disgraceful front page in newspaper history, complaining about BBC journalists not being objective and 'fake news'. Astonishing. ~AA

went to Cambridge,

was installed during the reign of a corrupt Tory prime minister.

There is a concerted, sustained attack against disabled people by the media and government. Both here in the UK and elsewhere.

However, there is no recourse for their blatant misinformation and disinformation.

There are no consequences.

They can lie, then lie some more, and get away with it all.

'Mega detention centers': ICE considers buying large warehouses to hold immigrants The Trump administration is exploring a plan to buy warehouses designed for companies like Amazon, sources said, which would drastically increase the Trump administration’s capacity for detaining immi...

This is horrifying.

ICE has been failing to meet its daily quota and as a result they’ve grabbed children, disabled people, citizens and literally anyone else they can get their hands on.

If they convert warehouses into huge camps, no one will be safe:

‘How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system In the year’s most shocking documentary, The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

Image shows a circular glowing intersex flag behind three lit candles. Text reads: Intersex Day of Remembrance

November 8th marks Intersex Day of Remembrance.

Intersex Day of Remembrance is a day to remember those who are no longer with us and highlight issues that the Intersex community face.

We stand in solidarity with our Intersex siblings, team members and supporters!

#IntersexDayOfRemembrance

Abled folk imagine being disabled and unable to work like a day of annual leave, where they can do whatever they want.

In reality, it’s like a sick day, where you are unable to do anything you want, because your body is unable to function.

And not just one day, but every day.

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act. The absolute tumbleweed from the media & gov shows just how much they want to bury how much disabled people fought and still fight for our rights.

UK loves genocide

45 years of this drivel and it’s got worse and nastier every year of this century so far, but still these horrible people are not satisfied and are pushing for more.

Labour's “life-changing” policies for Trans+ people:

1. Systematically withdrawing life saving and affirming healthcare from Trans+ children, adolescents, and adults

2. Banning Trans+ representation in education

3. Enforcing cisgender conformity

4. Curing Trans+ people of their Transness

This is me.

A painting titled "Beneath This Place" by artist Hannah Willow. It depicts a badger emerging from its burrow, which is glowing with golden light and stars. The scene is set at night under a full moon, with a starry sky and rolling hills in the background. A small cottage with a lit window is visible in the distance.

Goodnight.
