The Chancellor, in the spending review speech, choosing to attack Reform (currently on five MPs) and its leader is something isn't it

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

The fact that some people are happy to have their name and photograph attached to a blatant endorsement of racist attacks speaks volumes. Gaza, LA, Ballymena, same disinformation, dehumanisation and expected impunity. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This is long overdue - the Vagrancy Act continues to be used to criminalise 100s of homeless people 200 years after it was brought in! I've been drawing attention to this cruel approach and calling for a focus on root causes - investing in housing & health services. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Since the falling out, former allies of Musk, incl Trump, are now using his Nazi salute to discredit him, while some critics of Trump are trying to excuse it to redeem Musk as a potential ally, so I'm re-posting my @identitiesjournal.bsky.social blog on it: www.identitiesjournal.com/blog-collect...

in times like this I am reminded of my family who was rounded up and slaughtered and I ask what do I wish people had done for us do that

For terrorism & extremism scholars/studies, there's a massive gaping chasm where state racism, fascism & violence are concerned & should be opposed - particularly when committed by western liberal democracies & their allies against marginalised & racialised people & left wing protestors. 1/

Flirts?! It's a long term relationship And how is nativism worse than/an implication of racism when it's a barely concealed articulation of it which is totally mainstreamed already! This is absolute nonsense that describes what has been going on backwards. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

In news that will surprise absolutely no one who has paid attention It is nonetheless astounding to see how far the benefit of the doubt extends for prominent personalities when it comes to their clear far-right beliefs or affiliations... www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Mapping the Far Right Groups Targeting Pride Month UPDATES: In New Holland, Pennsylvania, law enforcement is trying to determine the identity of a man seen stealing and destroying multiple Pride flags. In Boise, Idaho, Pride flags have been vandalized for the fifth consecutive year.

During genocide, Channel 4 worries about its impact on the perpetrator and their PR. If only the media would help ...

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

'We've Been Silent Too Long': 1,300 Israeli Academics Call to End Gaza War, Citing 'Moral Collapse' Yes, far too long. Yet many people there and elsewhere still equate opposition with antisemitism and justify all that Israel does. Not really a 'war' either. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Important to recognise they aren't doing this for the (obviously laughable) reason that they think it'll 'promote growth', but because McSweeney has told them universities are coded as 'woke' & it lets them pit HE & FE against each other, claiming to support 'working people' over woke intellectuals.

Just been at the grocery store. They've locked up infant formula & stock Israeli products. They don't care about poor kids here, much less those on small boats in the Med & Channel or Palestinian children in Gaza. It's shocking not surprising & not either/or. They're connected.
