Also wtf is this cunt doing on a St George’s flag? Maybe now he might be able to dodge that bullet

Bristol was amazing as always. About 500 counter-protesters sending the fash home. And cops protecting the fascists as expected, letting them march, threatening to arrest us if don’t get into their “play pens”. None of it worked and they were vastly outnumbered. Bristol is anti-fascist ✊🏽

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gaza’s most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

White people saying the left shouldn't call racists racist boils down to a fundamental failure of empathy. They don't experience racism so they don't think it's a big deal, they have experienced being called racist and hated it so they sympathise with the racists.

This video is very centred on the feelings of white people and not on the actual victims of racism. You may as well have said “white left” as that’s who you mean. If you mean white people just say that! YOU can feel racism rising? Okay…

Free speech advocates at this weekend's "Protect Our Women" rally in Hull...

"Home Secretary proposes conscription for immigrants, a new chain labour force for communities where the chains will be the threat of deportation." It gets more horrifying when you describe mandatory unpaid labour as what it really is.

Oh wow okay then, i guess I don’t need to be terrified of walking down a street because Gary says they’re not all racists! He’s asked them to prove us wrong, it’s okay if the a few black and brown people get racially abused, there’s gonna be some collateral damage. Why don’t we all just get along!

Looks like the psychology/ mental health community has finally woken up on LinkedIn after Trump’s Autism announcement. So you can read the news? You just don’t give a shit about people of colour/ trans people? You know what else affects mental health? A fucking genocide! I’m not even surprised

It's alarming how many people need to hear this: racism is not the natural and inevitable response to the presence of (the wrong number of) racialised Others. It is a learned response, and as such it is contestable and replaceable. This is anti-racism 101. Entry level stuff.

Anxiety has been through the roof this week. The amount of flags going up in Bristol is terrifying. Why am I made to feel unsafe and scared when all I’m doing is going to work? My job is literally working with little kids who have been abused.

Jesus fucking christ.

You can’t reclaim the flag. Every time I see it, I know I am not welcome. It is triggering, and if you are trying to reclaim it, you are erasing the history of the rest of the world. Saying that what that flag has done to us doesn’t matter because suddenly now it stands for “unity”

No patience for any anti-refugee nonsense. I work therapeutically with unaccompanied asylum-seeking kids — do you even grasp what they’ve survived? It takes months, years, to build a sliver of trust, to feel safe. And you wave flags in their faces telling them to ‘go back’? Absolutely fuck off

It's called the Butcher's Apron guys! You can't "reclaim" that for the left! Try telling Irish and South Asian and Black comrades that it isn't a hate symbol.

Let me elaborate my disagreement with @zackpolanski.bsky.social in a 🧵. The scenes on our streets are not "the consequences of decades of austerity" but of centuries of racism propagated by the British ruling classes to rationalise the social order they have constructed at home and abroad.

Why do we always do this? We have to show them empathy, “they are just misinformed”, “legitimate concerns”. The focus is always on them and never on the black and brown communities they terrorise. They hate us for who we are and we are just supposed to suck it up?

It's physically unsafe for people like me to go into the centre of our home city this Saturday on account of the colour of our skin. Most politicians are either failing to stand up to this or actively contributing to the situation. We don't owe any of those politicians our votes. Not one of them.

It was a very difficult day yesterday in London marching against Tommy’s goons. Absolutely vile, horrible people, swearing, lewd gestures and rape threats at a largely women-led march. It was terrifying being a brown woman in front of those thugs.

The support of this is lovely to see. Don't believe the reporting about it though when it says "minor scuffles" and "no major incidents". The cops lost their shit and beat antifascist counterprotestors for two hours. We stopped them and humiliated them, but the cops made us hurt for it.

"We are Bristol! who are you? We are many, you are few!" Around 40 fascists surrounded by hundreds of counterprotesters

From Bristol Patriots' facebook page if anyone wonders how it went for the fash today.

I'm tired of living in a world where the most worthless, miserable, people to ever live can decide to slaughter millions out of greed, ego or just plain boredom.

How many immigrants & refugees would have stayed in their homelands if Western countries had not colonized them to begin with, continued to exploit them for natural resources & contributed to their destabilization?
