@meralhece.bsky.social's message was clear: the moment calls for deeds, not words. Strong leadership, not a tweet. The government has had every opportunity to act and has chosen silence instead.

Five men were injured in Edinburgh, with the suspect reportedly motivated by anti-Muslim hatred. This is not a one-off. It is a pattern, and the silence from government every time it happens is becoming as predictable as the violence itself.

No statement. No COBRA meeting. Barely a headline. After a shocking attack on Muslims in Edinburgh, @meralhece.bsky.social told the Lords that British Muslims are increasingly fearful for their safety, and the government has offered platitudes instead of leadership. 🧵

The Nowak family called for unity. Farage called for "pure cold rage." Dee Doocey, Lib Dem policing spokesperson, took the family's side and called out the politicians using a teenager's death to tear communities apart.

MPs question lack of action on hate speech at Tommy Robinson's anti-Muslim rally. ‘Robinson, who has multiple convictions for offences such as violence, fraud & contempt of court, added that "it's time for many Muslims to leave this country." www.middleeasteye.net/news/stop-is...

Most of the cruel, racist stereotypes now being propagated about Muslims and immigrants were originally crafted as antisemitic attacks on Jews. The language and sources are in some cases exactly the same. Prejudice against any minority endangers all minorities. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.

"The American political conversation has moved on from abortion," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social. "But the state-by-state patchwork of women’s rights remains an untenable reality, and the ferocity of the anti-choice movement’s misogyny has not been abated."

This ruling shows that proscribing Palestine Action was a grave misuse of terrorism laws. Labour must accept its mistake, drop its appeal and stop wasting taxpayers' money suppressing civil liberties. Degrading counter-terror powers is a genuine threat to national security.

‘In Afghanistan, where the US maintained a military presence for decades until 2021, child malnutrition has risen to its highest level in 25 years, and 450 health centres have closed due to cuts in foreign aid’

Appalled by this attack on a place of worship. Members of the Muslim community must be free to worship and live without the fear of Islamophobic violence and intimidation. I stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with British Muslims and against this hate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A 64-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life after a fire at a London hotel housing asylum seekers. This is where we are now. Where are the politicians to call this out? Or do they not want to upset their right wing base? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.
