Deadly UK border policies have taken four lives this weekend - including a child.
These are entirely avoidable deaths. Safe routes must exist so people seeking safety no longer have to risk their lives.
Mine get picked on my dog walks, washed in salted water then frozen until i have enough to make a few jam jars

Do you think this will stop here and roll back, now that these people have been shown they can demand and get this level of permission to run riot from government, police and press? Or do you think they will take this as the bare minimum, and push for more and worse.
Say no to racism Ten Square Hotel Sat 9th Aug 1pm Stand with asylum seekers.
Everyone out this afternoon in Belfast to take a stand against racism & stand with asylum seekers! ✊🏻
I regret to inform you that Starmer’s been tweeting dehumanising videos of migrants again.
These videos have been shown to increase support for Reform, by increasing salience of migration.
He has to go.
A year after the far-right riots which swept the country, we continue to see violence against migrants and marginalised communities. Together we can stand against it. Share your pics and visas and stand #UnitedAgainstDivision👇

Belfast Pride 25. Proud and happy to walk with those amazing guys
Each time, around 60,000 to 70,000 Palestinians converge at the designated site. Loudspeakers announce that when the green light turns on, people have just *10 minutes* to grab between 300 to 400 aid packages—though much of the critical supplies, like flour, sugar, and salt, are snatched up first by gangs and collaborators. After the 10-minute window, the light then turns yellow, signaling that only 5 minutes remain to flee before automatic machine guns open fire indiscriminately on anyone still in the area”
This is the scarcely believable testimony of Gaza journalist, Motasem A Dalloul.
The tiny amounts of aid getting in to Gaza is used as bait in a Squid Game-style nightmare.
Except this is real. Families forced to choose between dying of starvation or dying trying to get food.
The end of days.
Just an agonising few kilometres away from the starving, thousands of tons of food aid lies wasting in the sun as the Israeli blockade continues.
Gaza is now being systematically starved. The war crime of the 21st century.
REST OF THE WORLD UPDATE: Still watching.

Extract from Guardian story which reads: In recent days, I operated on two women who were shot by quadcopters while sheltering in their tents near one of the locations, according to the people who brought them in. One was breastfeeding her child when she was hit; the second was pregnant. Thankfully, both have survived their injuries so far. These women weren't even seeking aid - they were simply sheltering in areas that are supposedly "safe" but exposed to indiscriminate fire from the IDF's weaponised hunger apparatus.
NEW: Gaza hospitals now fill with children just the width of their bones. Doctors faint from hunger doing rounds & journalists trying to document cases are too weak to walk the wards [WaPo]
Meanwhile, Israeli quadcopters hover over shelter tents shooting mothers while they breastfeed [Guardian].

Hungary’s new anti-LGBT+ legislation is a shameful attack on the rights of LGBT+ Hungarians. The European Union must respond swiftly and with decisive action. a.allout.org/s/OBZG8/

Anti-racist rally at Belfast City Hall yesterday
Bumped into @queensips.bsky.social at Belfast's Refugee Week Picnic today, encouraging migrants to exercise our right to vote and make politicians aware that our voices count too. Particularly important in the current climate.

I see the Royal Festival Hall is asking trans people and those with disabilities to share the same toilets. This is both unfair on people with disabilities and breaches the Human Rights Convention by treating trans people as a third sex.
I hope everyone ignores their stupid signage.
How far-right misinformation hijacked a tragedy in Carlow.
