Mary Sheffield will not only become the 1st woman mayor of Detroit, she is now the youngest Black woman in U.S. History to be elected to a major city.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

The superstar Ms Badu in Manchester tonight 🤩🤩🤩 Like Black Power Desk last night, incredible soul-reaching through art… and much needed ♥️

Black Power Desk "1970s London. The streets awash with a fever of political unrest, the rhythm of the sound system culture is birthing a new era of soulful lover’s rock, fusing RnB and reggae, amidst the covert Black Power Desk operations of New Scotland Yard." #Musicals 🎶 youtu.be/qs8IM_WfGmI?...

Took the girls to see this at the Hippodrome last night. Fantastic production, go and see if you get chance! www.birminghamhippodrome.com/calendar/bla...

It’s wild how Israel imprisoned some British activists from the flotilla like two weeks ago and Starmer was like: it’s a matter for Israel but there’s been an emergency parliamentary meeting to discuss football hooligans from another country and how we welcome them

. @plutopress.bsky.social post arrived today 💌

Peak teen content uncovered sorting: Special dates: my friend Gaz’s addition (Xmas, his birthday), my birthday (unlikely to forget?), mum & dad’s anniversary (clearly running out of noteworthy dates…) Then, above Forever Friends bears, written in purple felt-tip: 31st October: River dead

BREAKING: Israel has ordered shut the Allenby Crossing, the only gateway for three million Palestinians in the West Bank to the outside world, “until further notice,” in what appears to be a response to the wave of recognition of Palestine by UN member states including key European allies.

He is talking about my friends, neighbours, family and work colleagues. This man is evil and reminiscent of 1930’s Germany. Why isn’t Starmer condemning him in the strongest possible terms? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

🇮🇹🇵🇸✊🏻 Solidarietà!

That's the way to do it! 💪 #MarxistMonday

An inspiring first day of picketing to kick off our 4 weeks of strike action! Faculty, students, AND a dog or two made an appearance.

New to pickets? Talk to us! @uonucu.bsky.social

Making the entire #UKHE system rely on student debt exacerbates all the inequalities: only those who can afford it can undertake career-building activities, others are scrambling to survive. It’s shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Strike selfie! On the picket with @uonucu.bsky.social today. Come say hi if you’re Notts based!

We mobilized over 400 actors, comedians, directors, musicians, and writers to condemn the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Now is the time to oppose government censorship and fiercely defend our First Amendment rights.

Politicians who vilify migrants enable fascism. Pandering to the fears and resentments of those who see migration as a threat fuels the racist riots we see on the streets as well as the racist abuses happening through our institutions. We should be confronting, not coddling, this racism. It’s basic.

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

We obtained a list of Israelis who graduated from the Royal College of Defence Studies in London. 👉 Britain trained Israeli soldiers fighting in Gaza www.declassifieduk.org/britain-trai...

“Free speech is an inalienable right.” Unless you want to protest genocide, refer to someone with their correct pronouns, criticise someone for being a bigot, boycott an organisation for their human rights abuses, etc. Then politicians aggressively try to regulate and police speech. It’s perverse.

“migrant” is pretty much a pejorative now. I’ve even seen them used “suspected migrants” like it’s a crime. I mean, my mum is a migrant you racist scum

There is no "migration problem". The problem is racism.

Privately educated people (7%) still dominate the UK's most influential roles. #edchat #HigherEd #school

Back on the coach after sun, rain, hail and a kettle of tens of thousands of rampaging big man fascists, what a day!

Just saw Angela Rayner’s home has been vandalised. No time for AR politically but it’s pretty clear to me that there is a wealthy class who love cosplaying as everymen who are getting off massively on seeing an outsider working class woman brought down. They are dangerous.

UK benefit fraud prosecutions are 23 times more than for tax offences. Tax fraud up to nine times higher than benefit fraud. Laws against the rich are not always enforced. Govt taking powers to snoop on bank accounts of benefit claimants. Same won't apply to tax abusers, scammers. It is class war

#OtD 27 Aug 1963 500 bus workers in Bristol, UK, voted to end the TGWU-enforced "colour bar" on hiring Black and Asian workers after a four-month boycott began by Caribbean migrant workers. It was a key factor leading to the later Race Relations Act stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9883...

The Met Police are deploying biased facial recognition at Notting Hill Carnival this weekend. We joined civil society groups in calling for the plans to be scrapped. It “unfairly targets the community that carnival exists to celebrate.” #SafetyNotSurveillance www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Solidarity to all on the streets today defending our communities against the billionaire funded, grifter led far right. & especially all being targeted. Expecting canals to be empty of barges if the Black Country lot are successful in stated aim of “stopping the boats” - 100 miles from the sea.

the nazis also made a big point of displaying and jeering at art they deemed degenerate while pushing for its removal, its literally just the same ideology
