Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Avera and Hisham, held captive by Hamas for over a decade with little efforts from the Israeli state to free them, are expected to be released this Saturday. I hope that this comes to pass, and can only imagine what mental state they have been living in all these years.

Really great collection of some of the most useful activist guides, from community responses to the far right and anti-fascist citizen intelligence, to issues for schools and libraries, to street politics, digital security and first aid. Share widely.

MI5 lie in court & libel BBC to protect their agent, a Nazi abuser. This story is shocking but unsurprising. The security services have little regard for the lives (especially of women) that their agents ruin. In the war on extremism the secret state is not our ally. www.bbc.com/news/article...
