If you actually want to reduce #suicide, start by reducing shame. Debt. Sanctions. Food insecurity. Poverty wages. These aren’t “pressures.” They are engineered despair. No amount of awareness ribbons can offset the impact of policymaking built on humiliation.

Just had a doctor interrogate the autism diagnosis on my records due to the ‘high levels of emotional empathy’ observed during our consultation. He then suggested that being a writer and autistic was, in his mind, highly unlikely. Sorry, lads…but am I in the wrong century?

Abled folk believe the disability benefits system is too lenient and too easy, based on nothing but ignorance and rhetoric. Disabled people are telling you that it’s the exact opposite, based on their own experiences. I know which one I believe.

The government needs to change its “extremely damaging” narrative that suggests disabled people are an “economic burden”, and move away from threats and sanctions, if it wants to increase disabilit…

Zelensky: We are facing one of the most dangerous periods in Ukrainian history, a choice between losing our dignity and freedom and losing US support. We choose dignity. My answer is my oath of office. I did not betray Ukraine in Feb 2022 and we won’t betray in now.

🚨Sir Ian McKellen is quoting Thomas More, writing in 1517 during anti-immigrant riots in London 🔥 when terrified foreigners were dragged from their homes and blamed for every social ill. More asked the mob a simple question: “What would you do, if you were the stranger?” 500

Suresh Grover explains that the Monitoring Group's role is about understanding the trauma suffered, organising support, devising a strategy, media, public meetings and lawyers. Protecting the family and knowing that their welfare is the most important thing. #spycops

For young people interested in how to mobilise a grassroots, anti-racist campaign, watching Suresh Grover's evidence at the #spycops inquiry should be compulsory viewing.
Suresh Grover says that the Lawrence family went through unprecedented actions to get to the inquiry. The inquest saying for the first time that the death was racially motivated. The road map to the inquiry was led by the family #spycops

THIS is the point. Uniform police deal w/ public order. The repeated assertion that #spycops infiltrated our groups to maintain public order is unconvincing. Begs q, how do police manage all other public order situations (sports events, anti-social behaviour etc) without UCOs?
It is put to Suresh Grover that there was some justification for #spycops being deployed against him as the police needed to use CS gas at the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry. Suresh says uniform police deal with public order, what use was the undercover reports?

The persistent questioning from #spycops inquiry trying to establish if militant anti-fascists deserved being infiltrated is becoming tiring listening. This is now the 3rd witness in 2 days who's having to explain their justifiable defence of communities against fascist thugs.

No riots. No rallies. No random attacks on white people. No arson attempts on buildings with white people. Not even a mention from the politicians who claim to be about protecting kids. Why? Because it's OK when white people rape babies and hurt people.

This will impact EVERYONE. Combined with other anti-protest measures proposed like bans on face coverings, the Crime and Policing Bill will see the right to protest in the UK stripped to the bone. Protest is fundamental to democracy. We must protect it. https://t.co/8lG26D8PjF

This is unbelievably draconian & absolutely must be opposed. If passed, it would give police powers that could be used to ban pretty much any protest or picket in virtually any place.
🚨 BREAKING: The government has tabled their plan to restrict repeat protests. Demonstrations could now banned based on the 'cumulative disruption' that previous protests have caused in the area - regardless of if they have been organised by the same people or not.

I look forward to hearing his explanation, I mean, excuse for this. Let me guess. He never thought I'd find out the truth. #spycops
