The UK’s Illegal Migration Bill has passed - a dark turn for human rights in this country, and for Britain’s role in the world.
This attempt to deny the inalienable rights of refugees contravenes international law and threatens global systems of protection.
No human is illegal. https://t.co/z9TAVhIVRe

In the dead of night, Iowa Republicans passed a bill to ban most abortions after 6 weeks— before many would even know they were pregnant.
Let me be absolutely clear: Abortion bans are not pro-life. They are pro-poverty and pro-inequality. https://t.co/PJPOVrq05O
