#NoKings Miami!

@bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social In case you missed it on UK media.

“From 591 Black books banned in 2025 to $9 million cut from sickle cell research, the erasure is strategic - and the impact is real. Black workers pushed out. Black mothers denied care. Black children denied their history.” 2 of 3

"Technologies purchased by ICE in recent weeks include spyware that can hack into smartphones remotely and cellphone location software that can enable the tracking of a phone’s movements without a court warrant..." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Starmer’s actions under-pressure reveal his political instincts & repeatedly raise red flags that cannot be glossed over or ignored.

OMG! Remove this demented psychotic NOW!

This is how some Americans feel right now.

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.

Voodoo and Black Messiah got me through some shit. A once-in-a-lifetime talent. RiP D'Angelo. m.youtube.com/watch?v=NIaU...

And to think this "whitelash" is due in part to Obama's presidency. I can't even.

These feudal times…billionaires unleashed.

“Authoritarianism is as American as slavery, as internment camps, as police brutality, as voter suppression. To fight it, white people have to stop pretending government oppression arrived overnight and start dismantling the systems that have been incubating it all along.”

I just heard on #BBCToday that the word racism is a "Farage landmine" that Starmer has just trod on, which presumably will backfire on him. Well, just imagine living in a racist minefield, while those laying the mines, deny the existence of the mines & the damage caused by the mines.

I’m laughing to assuage the anger cause we damn-well told them for years. They fell for the “anti-wokeness”, cancel culture, marketplace of ideas bullshit and now got finessed out of their rights

They know it's all lies. They enjoy that finally, they can be openly racist & experience the white supremacist fascistic freedom their ancestors enjoyed for 400 years, but which was held in check by equality laws for a few decades in the UK & USA. I bet some have even shocked themselves.

Nick Robinson's coverage of CK killing 2 weeks ago was a new low in BBC impartiality. The veil didn't slip - it was left at home.

Aesop's fable of the wolf & the lamb reads like an average news bulletin right now. read.gov/aesop/063.html

Pas les italiens avant nous,que fait la CGT

shit ain’t over til it’s over

What this shows is that the more the other parties chase Reform along the immigrant-scapegoating gutter, the further Farage will go, emulating MAGA until black & brown British people are being rounded up regardless of their status. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Ways to break a country and remake it in your own fascist image.

If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Racists require plausible deniability for their racism & hate when shown undeniable evidence of it. Also fascism lives on double-speak and lies; the truth is irrelevant.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

It’s quite easy to cling to free speech absolutism when you are not the target of a promised ethnic cleansing. The “marketplace of ideas” is a legitimising myth for such politics of annihilation, and “debating” ethno-nationalism is nothing more than the gamification of another’s humanity.

It's fairly pointless fact-checking this sort of racist bilge, but as it happens I live in Plaistow and -- of course the area is undoubtedly multicultural, one of the most diverse in the country -- but there are certainly white children here. I've got two of them in my house.

UK UNIVERSITIES: UPHOLD THE RIGHT TO PROTEST Last month, new guidance from the Office for Students (OfS) set out how universities should meet their duties to protect freedom of speech on campus This includes upholding the right to protest. (1/7)

Omg yes @timnitgebru.bsky.social !!!!

The Black Feminists Who Saw the Alt-Right Threat Coming Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color. If only more people had paid attention. (Context for #EndFathersDay)

Been sort of tearing up as I receive frantic calls/requests from students a little over two continents. Several students have been forced to withdraw from their PhD programmes in the US. My understanding is the following. You cannot pursue a PhD in: - race, queer/trans studies in US 1/2

I love that you shared this and that it certainly inspired so many to go read or reread Douglass. 💜✊🏾 Entire speech at link.

@blakeprof.bsky.social’s center of WEB Dubois as a political theorist of the administrative state needs to be in every admin law casebook. I would add James Baldwin, Octavia Butler, Aime Cesaire, Charles Hamilton Houston and David Walker to my list of political theorist of the black state.

"The guilty white imagination" is what makes Baldwin's answers unintelligible to Cabott & why certain folks want to silence 'woke' books, people & knowledge to maintain their corrupt & corrupting power.

“If I love you, I have to make you concious of the things that you do not see.” -James Baldwin

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

A good day read. I offer one caveat. Both race & racism as political tools are a legacy of empire, but the political work they are put to do by British colonial and western postcolonial regimes has adapted while still serving the project of Euro-white supremacy. 1/2

The Superfine exhibition of Black dandyism at New York's Metropolitan Museum is worth visiting for its cultural and historical breadth. Yet, the absence of the sapeurs of the Congo seems an odd ommission given the the exhibition's Black Atlantic scope.

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Green Party has control in 12 councils. Reform has 9. So why is the media rabbiting on so much about Reform flag shagging, when the real benefit to UK will come from the Green Party? Full policy too large to publish here, but these are 2024 election pledges. More important than flags, eh?

no words.
