Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

The phrase, Oh FO, just formed in my head for some reason.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.
/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.

Take care.

Macron: “There are two paths that do not suit us: blindly following the return of the law of the strongest—this is the choice of happy vassalisation—and the moral posture of saying we can do nothing while claiming righteousness.

Sadly it is official, my current employment contract finishes at the end of March. It has been a fantastic three years at Migrant Voice. If you, or someone you know, knows of job opportunities for an experienced policy, advocacy and comms person, across multiple sectors, please do let me know.

You would have... hyflex now, that is another story: seriously, to be comfortable with that one, you need 4 eyes, 3 pairs of hands and students who put their bl**dy cameras on.
