🧵We KNOW Donald Trump is a criminal. But not enough Americans know what happened to the criminals around him. You’re not going to like the answer.
What if I told you that the New York City mob never disappeared, and it’s alive and well in the GOP? /1

I am disgusted by reports that the Home Office will begin rounding up and detaining asylum seekers, in preparation for deportation to Rwanda.
This is a terrifying, repulsive election stunt from a government devoid of humanity.
We will resist, together.

PM is real threat, failing to name racism, undermining rule of law with terrible Rwanda Bill, trampling over rights to protest. This didn’t need “urgent address” he could’ve said it in Parliament. Fake theatre from desperate PM of a dying , discredited govt

Protesting against the mass slaughter of civilians is not a threat to democracy.
The real threat to democracy is a government that crushes our rights and silences our solidarity.
Our movement is made up of all faiths and backgrounds, united by a belief in a more peaceful world.

The uproar towards Black Out night is boring, because it’s disingenuous. This isn’t a new concept and neither is it exclusionary. The nay sayers have no intention of seeing the play. The arts sector is burning, theatres are chronically underfunded and are collapsing. Let’s focus

Suella Braverman seems to be doing her best to outflank Enoch Powell.
It’s a poisonous attempt to drive a wedge between our communities and serve her own naked ambition.
Now, more than ever, we should be seeking to unite, not divide.

It is hard to feel compassion towards someone who goes abroad to support a radical group that detests our country's values, but she was clearly not bright enough to know better, and that's why I don't think Liz Truss should be stripped of her citizenship.

To the folks listening to anti-immigrant screamers and isolationist fearmongers — learn a lesson from our friends in the UK.
Brits are officially poorer since Brexit and they have small minded politicians, and themselves to blame for listening to them.
Voters were duped & they’re paying the price!
