Covering admissions this week, and so far every single admission for COVID (as opposed to testing positive on admission for another reason) have not been vaccinated.
Get vaccinated people.

I have one family member dead from #Covid and another whose health is broken by #LongCovid
That's "learning to live with" death and disability.
Government failing to protect citizens.

“Why must you always concentrate on color?”
“Why must we always talk about Critical Race Theory?”
As always, this answer from James Baldwin is what you were looking for. Must watch.

I see that George Osborne has become the new Chair of the British Museum. I've asked him how he got the job. How do people get these jobs? How did they arrive at him? Did they just ring him up? No one's ever rung me to offer me a job like that. I didn't invent austerity, though.

Anyone treated by “foreign” NHS staff? 👋
Millions of us have been. Let’s share this so Dido knows we value and welcome all NHS staff. 💙

Siento que esta vez nos está sangrando el alma a todos. Ver como Uribe y su gobierno asesina tantos jóvenes. Cómo los torturan. Los abalean y los descuartizan. Son niños de colegio repletos de valores. Están inconformes con la injusticia. Estamos llorando...por fin algo nos duele

The wealth of UK billionaires grew to £600 billion during the pandemic. That's £600,000,000,000. It's up nearly 25%.
In that time food bank use was up 33%.
The super-rich don't make the wealth. They take it.
It's time to tax their wealth and make them pay.

The siege on #gaza is not lifted, the forced eviction of #SheikhJarrah is ongoing, the de facto #annexation is in place, #settlements are expanding and the #IsraeliOccupation and #Apartheid are ongoing for the past 73 years. Today, there is no return to “business as usual’’.

This is @PresidentIRL 🇮🇪
Michael D. Higgins.
The video is 10 years old.
Here he speaks as a Member of Parliament, on the delivery of aid to Gaza.
Every word remain true today.
We are so fortunate to have this man lead us, standing for what is right.

After watching #KenmureStreet reports on TV, I am surprised no report showed the scale of the protest. Here is my unedited WindaesTV report of the detainees’ release #PeopleMakeGlasgow – at Glasgow, Scotland

Just so we’re clear: Palestinians do, indeed, have the legal right to self-defense, according to international law. Israel does not. They’re the occupying power.

We applaud the brave resistance of our brothers, sisters and siblings in Palestine. We are inspired by their courage and resilience in the face of oppression, and stand in solidarity with them always.
From Gaza to Bogotá: none of us are free until all of us are free.

I'm writing a piece for The Stage on the healing powers of Youth Theatre (YT). I'm looking to talk to YT teachers, leaders, members, and ex members please.
How can YT help to heal young people after isolation?
Reply here and I'll DM, or email, you if I'd like more. Thanks!

I stand in solidarity with the people of Colombia who, despite the violence and abuse of power from the police force, continue to peacefully demonstrate to demand change. I urge President @IvanDuque to listen to the demands of the people and put an end to the human rights abuses.
