If any of you are under the impression that our billionaires might succeed in "escaping" to space, while the world burns, let me put those fears to rest with what I know from being the spouse of a NASA flight controller. 🧵

The organizers of the Kindertransport programme, which brought Jewish children to the UK in 1938-9, used fake visas & forged documents to rescue the kids. Under forthcoming legislation, they would be liable to life imprisonment for human smuggling: maidenheadheritage.org.uk/hall-of-fame-2…

“As a nurse, I encounter structural racism every day" Donna Kinnair on #bbcqt. Her full title is Professor Dame Donna Kinnair, but this was missed out of her name tag. Hugh Pennington’s title - Professor - was not missed out.

Isn’t the point that most of us *haven’t* been doing what’s best for our families, for the greater good - not visiting elderly relatives, attending funerals, taking children on fun outings etc. etc.? If we’d just done what was best for ourselves there wouldn’t have been lockdown.

🚨🚨 I wrote a big new piece about all the reasons why the pandemic is so confusing, and how to think about the many uncertainties. If you’re finding it hard to make sense of this complicated & ever-changing crisis, you’re not alone. I hope this helps. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

Yesterday we promised we’d tell you how 10 lucky #cyclists could get hold of a #CycleLawScotland versatoob to wear as a face covering in public places as per @scotgov guidelines. Well, we lied. We are actually going to give away 100! Just like, retweet and PM your home address.

astonishing story from @maybulman – British man goes on holiday, Home Office revokes his passport without warning while he’s out of the country (over a supposed minor administrative inconsistency) now he’s sleeping on the streets in a foreign country independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

I talked to a 9-year-old girl tonight who was arrested by @ICEgov while walking to school at 7AM. She was brought to detention in her school clothes & her backpack confiscated. I don't know about you but I don't feel more secure. I don't feel more safe. I'm scared. #shutdownberks

Reasons I know ghosts aren't real: If they were, every Hammy Haw-Haw currently trying to appropriate the misery of a war that ended long after their birth, in order to try to undo everything achieved in its wake, would be covered - COVERED - in angry dead 19yos.
