to my gringos: indigenous people in Brazil are being assaulted and murdered, having their land destroyed and their water poisoned after their territories overwhelmingly voted for Lula. major news outlets are not reporting this.

To the world from France : please support us. The crackdown against protesters is very violent. Today a police grenade made a 15 years old boy loose his hand.
Tomorrow is an important day of protest, with students and high school pupils. Keep an eye on France !

The United States is trying to rig our elections into far right dictatorship, and if they fail, they'll invade us
Their soldiers are learning our language

my last word on this cuz at the end of the day i am white, if europe was as "non-racist" and "colour blind" as you say, why are there countless black tourist accounts telling you what major cities to avoid and how to keep yourself safe from racist locals?
u say this as if we in britain are having a giant tiff over whether we should return an archipelago we colonised becuase theyre "important" for national security and we "need to show argentina british sovereign territory is non negotionable"
europeans talking about some "we dont see colour only nationality" while simultaneously electing all their most racist parties is proof that we'll do literally anything to oppression olympics racial minorities

American military police tried to impose a colour bar on an English village in 1943.
The village's three pubs responded by putting up signs reading: BLACK TROOPS ONLY. Bamber Bridge, Lancashire.
Black American soldiers were stationed there and the locals liked them. When the US Army asked the village to segregate its pubs, the publicans complied in the most English way available — by barring the white Americans instead.
On the night of 24 June 1943, white American MPs came to arrest a Black soldier at Ye Olde Hob Inn for a uniform infraction. British civilians and British soldiers in the pub intervened and told them to leave him alone.
It escalated into a night of shooting between Black GIs and American MPs. One Black soldier, William Crossland, was killed.
Dozens were court-martialed. British witnesses testified about the MPs' conduct, and sentences were reduced. The US Army quietly reorganised how MPs were deployed in the area.
An English village looked at American segregation, understood it immediately, and refused to host it.
The pub is still there. The sign is part of local legend.

Short thread of all the orgs and researchers that talked about the UAE funding the RSF, so you can use it when someone asks for “proof” (because they can’t use the internet on their own):
one of the most infuriating things abt being a leftist in a white western country is that my peers are often very anti-western, maybe anti-china, and yet still only care about western countries.
the moment that africans, carribeans or aboriginal australians suffer its crickets
to these types.
i dont even have a solid answer as to why thats not just anti-blackness or just a racist assumption that thats the "norm" in africa.
im not really any better though, i didnt even know sudanese people were organising a boycott of the uae until these types started
