The far-right is a real threat, and is rising as part of a coordinated effort with international links. All this happened before btw, in the 1920s and 1930s. Literally the same stuff, now featuring some of the same groups. This government is sleepwalking into civil war.
One interesting thing about Berlin is how comfortably people with fascist ideologies move through it. Last week, on my way to coffee with a friend in the middle of town, I saw three guys dressed like this on our street. They weren't making a fuss - they were right at home.

'I fled LGBTQ+ attacks in Kenya - but the Home Office say it's safe for me to go back' Virginia is an extraordinary woman, running her own campaign to stay in the UK. Please share her story & letโ€™s help her stay here in safety & freedom. birminghammail.co.uk/news/miโ€ฆ

De/Post/Anticolonial Approaches are academic theories that deserve serious engagement, they are not an evil ploy by the commies to make you try falafel. Watching Youtube videos sprinkled with a little Fox News does not make you qualified to engage with them at an academic level

The Metropolitan Police is officially characterised as institutionally corrupt, racist, misogynist and homophobic. It needs to be scrapped and replaced. Tinkering at the edges will not work. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024โ€ฆ

This is bizarreโ€ฆ are you suggesting with a straight face that the correct historical method is to approach history from the assumption that colonised people liked being colonised???? Seriously thereโ€™s mountains of literature you really need to review

"My olives, my olives" Israelis uprooting olive trees with chainsaws and bulldozers. Only a colonizer with no attachment to the land could be so cruel.

Journalists need to stop asking Starmer about his fucking football tickets and ask him why heโ€™s backing Israelis throwing Palestinians off rooftops, blowing up pregnant women whose foetuses are dug out of rubble, and maiming children every single fucking day while we all watch.

Forced migration, Israel style:
The Israeli army has started carpet bombing Southern Lebanon, issuing a mass expulsion order for Lebanese civilians, who are receiving texts โ€œleave your homes if they are hiding weapons.โ€ Like in Gaza, an entire population framed as human shields before total destruction.

The first line of this post by Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs reads (according to G-translate): "Lebanon, even though it has a flag and even though it has political institutions does not meet the definition of a country." Every despot, everywhere, every time.

๐ŸงตFor Refaatโ€™s (@itranslate123) birthday, I want to honour him by sharing what I learned from him: 1. Even in face of the worst brutality, we still have a choice of how to resist: to set fires or to plant seeds. Both are form of resistance. But we still choose. (Contโ€™d)
Happy birthday, Refaat. I hope there are endless reruns of Amar Akbar Anthony where you are. And you have the space to read, think and imagine that this world refused you!

We have to ask Labour, it's PLP, trade unions & the Labour movement - What is the moral purpose of our nation? It's certainly not to starve children, freeze pensioners or exchange immigration notes with the grandchildren of Mussolini. Me at @AntiRacismDay fringe today

Jonathan Ashworth has got more air time than all of the Independent MPs combined. The irony is they are getting on with the job of representing their constituents while Ashworth squawks from the sidelines attacking them with the help of his lobby journalist pals.

Currently, migrants are subjected to immigration checks when renting as a result of the #HostileEnvironment policy. Until this policy ends, there can be no decent homes for UK's migrant communities, @AngelaRayner & @UKLabour. #Lab24
Today @AngelaRayner will announce a package of measures to ensure decent homes for all. Change begins.

Here, the @metpoliceuk commander puts Carnival in the same bracket as JSO and PSC protests, and all such protests (inc Carnival) waste time when the police could be out solving crimes. Because protest cops are the same as detectives, obviously. standard.co.uk/news/london/cโ€ฆ
