I'm uncomfortable with white people using coconut (also Uncle Tom is a distorted slur as he was defiant character in Uncle Tom's Cabin). But it's fine if another person of colour uses it if one's actions pull up the ladder behind them in the service of white society.

Great to see! Ireland's official Eurovision fan club is boycotting the competition due to apartheid Israel's participation. Eurovision fans know what's what, they won't go along with the artwashing of Israel’s ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinians people. #BoycottEurovision

Palestine is the moral issue of our time, as was apartheid in the 1970s and 80s. your stance and your silence define you.

So crisis actors who can't actually recreate the crisis on camera. Instead they'll act like shop window mannequins.

From the 1870 15th Amendment to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, voting rights for Black people have proven to be ephemeral. Laws can be unenforced or gutted altogether. Black people’s rights must be defended by mass popular action. www.blackagendareport.com/voting-right...

66% of people agree "Immigrants contribute to our culture and we're all the better for having them here", up from 64% in 2024. - 77% believe people seeking international protection should be supported to become part of the communities they live in.

£50 the person behind that Labour account owns several different sized butchers apron flags

A party that lets a friend of Epstein bypass vetting nothing surprises me of the lows they'll reach.

The media absolutely are scraping the barrel with Zack Polanski. There's a basic iron role of British politics: The left are not legitimate political actors - and their figureheads must be destroyed.

If there's anything to spur you to vote Green in London, it's the smug centrists of More In Common.

Labour MPs desperate to show they have a drinking problem in order to tell off a new Green MP.

Nothing terrifies both right-wingers and centrist ‘sensibles’ more than the prospect of a politician with compassion winning votes. Watching them freak out over @zackpolanski.bsky.social is quite something. Imagine if they were even half as energised to deal with poverty and war.

BJP brownshirts on the ground in New Market, bulldozing meat shops and causing chaos. This is my city. Right in the centre of Kolkata--all the troops & cops occupying Kolkata under regime orders standing by. I've passed by those shops in New Market so many times. My heart is broken.

Barely any attention paid here to the catastrophic elections in India, so I'm on Twitter more right now to commiserate with fellow Indians. But by god so many of those fellow Indians are wildly evil nazis--just a chorus of slurs & rape/death threats under any progressive post by popular users.

The BJP & the Hindu right has been going on a spree of violence throughout Kolkata and Bengal, and under all the videos are sanghis gloating with delight. The boiling outpouring of hate. Seriously, saffron nazis make orcs look like paragons of civility.

Jordan Devlin: "Today I was acquitted of criminal damage after telling the jury I damaged drones and it was an honour.. it is a travesty of justice that my co-defendants aren't with me as the damage to Elbit weapons they're accused of was to save Palestinian lives"

The sound of every briefcase applauds this.

List of those Starmer has called out for anti-Semitism: - The Universities - The Arts Council - The Green Party - Pro-Palestinian protestors List of those Starmer has not called out for anti-Semitism: - Twitter - Reform UK - The Trump administration Feels like there’s a pattern here.

BBC News Channel following up Starmer’s press conference with questions about antisemitism in parties - discussing only the Greens and not once mentioning Reform.

Was this Republican also a Blackwater mercenary?

I have referred Sky News and GMB to Ofcom over disgraceful and baseless smears that have been made about me. There is nothing antisemitic about supporting the people of Palestine. I will continue to speak out against racism, apartheid and genocide. novaramedia.com/2026/05/05/j...

Trevor Phillips is a virulent Islamophobe, that he is so accepted and even has his own show on Sky News, shows how accepted racism against Muslims is. Want to know of a bigotry that is fully accepted in society with little condemnation?? This is it right here.

I still get the impression that many (most?) Labour supporters don’t understand how badly Labour’s anti-immigration policies come across, or how many of us are personally angry about them.

We're at that part of Labour's decline that they need to use AI to generate supporters because there's no real ones left.

In right wing conservative circles it's probably been acceptable for decades at their dinner parties.

Isn’t this the same boys’ home linked to the English King’s cousin & cousin of his paedophile brother Andrew? But please, continue to tell me why Monarchy is a great system.

One small(!) point: the reason Reform’s hideousness is targeting the Greens is because the Greens are the first to properly challenge the Reform bollocks about immigration head on.

Based podcast.

This map shows the population by continent between 1500 and 1600. What happened in the Americas between 1500 and 1600 is wild! There was no shortage of epidemic diseases the Europeans introduced to a helpless indigenous population. Source: buff.ly/m1tEmTD

Less than 2 years after winning a landslide. Incredible scenes. How are the Oasis dads going to spin this on Friday morning?

Like the TikTok slop, the interns designing the leaflets have to be low key mocking the party. This is like a parody of Blue Labour pearl clutching.

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

Slightly diminish a book: The Shade Mauve

Has Matthew ever had a word with his colleagues about not turning antisemitism into political football?

Running back 2015-2019 while quoting Enoch Powell. Every legacy media outlet should be vapourised.

Huge BDS victory on the heels of May Day! BC Nurses Union passes a member-led resolution to no longer invest internal union funds in companies profiting from occupation of Palestine. This come after 2.5 years of organizing by nurses in BC.

Not an expert in these matters, but I wouldn't be bringing up the six occupied territories of Northern Ireland completely uninvited.

Every mainstream newspaper and news desk needs to be eviscerated.

Troops and cops are the enforcers of the will of the ruling class. If you don't push back as hard as possible on the idea they can do no wrong the powerful will use them to do any and every wrong that benefits them.

I expect nothing less from the British state. Also those veterans didn't defend us, they defended British imperial interests in Ireland through violence and impunity.

Why didn't Canary mention Tapp's military background? It's usually a major indicator of the kind of reactionary right wing politics they spout.

Barack Obama refuses to call what is happening in Gaza a genocide. Fuck that guy and fuck you if you like him.

We now have the Police, Prevent, MI5 and the psychiatric hospital all fucking up over that stabbing yet its apparently the fault of anti genocide marches. Make it make fucking sense

$2 trillion the value of labor and life stolen on Barbados alone. An “accounting of the harm that was done” indeed. 🗃️🇧🇧 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The function of cops has long been protecting fascists. You can go as far back to the 70s Southall riots and the real two-tier policing.

The UK state’s immediate and correct condemnation of the violence perpetuated against British Jews in the previous months (firebombings of synagogues and Jewish ambulances, stabbings of Jews in the streets), stands in stark contrast to their response to riots directed at Black and brown Muslims

Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour. Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people. Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.

This is the kind of bullshit women of colour have long talked about when it comes to white women.

Aretha releases her version of Otis Redding’s “Respect” 59 yrs ago today. “I felt I could do something different with it,” she said. “The term ‘sock it to me’ was a big, big thing in our neighborhood — all the kids were saying it. The same goes for ‘TCB’, an acronym for ‘taking care of business.’”
