Could she have let me know slightly earlier, as have done 2 of 4 trains today already and nearly lost my case… staying in bed would have been better!

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

Really great blog by a radiologist who writes in a surgical journal. Nicely sums up why we’re so exhausted

Never let anyone tell you that small acts of resistance don’t matter.

This is a remarkable story of 2 Irish women who stood up against injustice & stood tall. Their courage & defiance, for strangers they would never meet, is a reminder that even the smallest light can burn through the darkest times
