An amicus brief (actually) filed with the Supreme Court. @TheOnion I knew you were great, but you have completely outdone yourself! Brilliant! supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/2…
Oh. It works.
🎨 The best way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting. RT when it works for you.

Economist @graceblakeley says raising interest rates won't help control inflation, because inflation is being driven by rising energy prices. Grace is also clear the idea of a wage price spiral is nonsense - workers demanding wages in line with inflation need to be supported #GMB

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

The UK Government claims its Rwanda plan is a world first. It isn't. Listen to our investigation into what happened the last time asylum seekers were deported to Rwanda. The "Ungodly", "Appalling", "Ugly", criticisms of the UK's plan don't even cover it.
“At the heart of this is a failure of the UK to fulfil its international obligations.” In this week’s Slow Newscast, @hm_hashi, explores Britain’s harsh welcome for refugees – and what happened when a plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda was tried before.

If everyone who has ever been grateful for the NHS followed and retweeted we would reach a million by midnight. We will all need the NHS at some point in our lives, so let's all come together to protect it.

The U.K. govt. is now going after lawyers who actually call out their insane racist policies, labelling them “lefty” lawyers because they don’t support racist aggression towards asylum seekers. They’re simply lawyers. Upholding the law. Not partying fools wrecking the economy.
