I’m sorry but do white people even care about what is happening to POC around them? The amount of people just walking past the demo in Bristol today was ridiculous. What is it going to take for you to be on the streets? It’s literally your mess to fucking sort out

Bristol Antifascists call out against the racist anti-migrant hate group, "Bristol Patriots," this Saturday, 10th January, at 10 am at The Cenotaph. We go again, Bristol. It is the Year of Our Lord 2026, and every day is the Battle of Cable Street. Happy New Year motherfuckers. Let's fucking go.

Any organisation joining the persecution of transgender people in the UK does not get a free pass. This is going downhill fast, and it will end in a dark place. When this is all over, there must be no "we didn't know", or "we were only followng orders". This has to stick to them forever.

How is this not the top story on every news bulletin? This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Even with my bedrock low opinion of Labour, I was clinging to some shred of hope that even they would realise that stealing the last remaining possessions of people who have fled for their lives was a disgusting policy. Turns out there isn't a bottom to this particular barrel they are scraping.

Vote Labour

This is why, no matter what the cops do to us, none of us will ever stop.

The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.

In just the past one week I’ve had two instances where I’ve been glared at and made to feel intimidated by white men. One pulled his little daughter away from me as if I was going to do something to her. I can’t stop thinking about how much worse it is for so many other Black and brown people.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

5 years being in this country & it’s the first time I have been worried about celebrating Diwali. I am scared to be on the phone to my family in public as hearing a different language might trigger someone. I think twice about what I wear, don’t want it to be too different. Why am I even here?

Anyone willing to sacrifice one minority group, for any reason, is a fascist to me. I don't believe that ppl need to earn basic human rights or prove that they deserve them. That's why they're called Basic HUMAN rights, not rights if you're het, or white, or amab.

Friends keep saying, “oh just ignore the flags, they will fall apart on their own”. That’s not the point though, is it? Majority of white people won’t do enough to help POC feel safe. It’s doesn’t matter if you think putting flags up is “not cool”. What are you going to do about it?

A little break away from the UK and I’m instantly feeling safer and calmer. Because that is the world we now live in. I can’t feel safe in my own home. Definitely needed this space

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

A one-year-old boy with his father were subjected to an alleged racially aggravated attack outside their home in Worcester. West Mercia Police confirmed a man and child were sprayed with an unknown substance and racially abused with "threats to kill" which led to a 77 year old woman being arrested.

When centrists affirm and validate racist grievance politics - that refugees are a burden, that racists have "legitimate concerns" about refugees - they empower the far right to take steps like the below, which would be unthinkable had the underlying assumptions not been turned into a common sense.

It's gone. It's not reclaimable. It's a symbol of colonialism and racist hatred. Sticking a wanky little phrase across it isn't going to change that. Sticking yet more flags all over the place is going to make people feel further isolated by it though, and give the racists just what they want.

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

Written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital, London after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.

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?
