@Dorianwallace @BreeNewsome Oppressors demand silent obedience and settle for no less than suppressed rage in the hope you wither away both inside and out. But some how black people find that glimmer of strength, tolerance, forgiveness to endure, inspire and rise. The meek shall indeed inherit the earth.

My friend Mustafa called me from northern Gaza a few minutes ago. The first thing he said was: “ My phone battery is at 2%, and when I thought about who to call, I thought of you. I'm sure I'm going to die, my friend. This might be our last call. Since morning, I've been

Long thread: The story and treatment of Marieha Hussain is one of the most alarming, ludicrous and unbelievable I’ve ever witnessed. It is a story of eye-wateringly blatant state racism, media complicity in that racism, police manipulation and cultural incompetence. And it is a

Nigel Farage was rehabilitated by ITV when it paid him £1.5m to appear on I’m A Celeb. He is also joint-second for most appearances on BBC Question Time. When I say the *entire* media class is complicit in the normalisation of Islamophobic & anti-migrant rhetoric, I mean it.

'It's the stupidest element of this entire conversation.' @mrjamesob rubbishes the 'nonsensical notion' that people who speak up against racism 'have no idea what it's really like.'

As we look back at one of the worst weeks on Britain’s streets, the reality dawns. As 70s kids we thought we’d seen the back of the Far Right racism. We haven’t. 2024 will be a dark year in our history. And Enoch and The National Front are still with us, but with different names.

This is brilliant! The French journalist asks #ImaneKhelif to speak in French, assuming that since France colonised Algeria, Imane must be Francophone. She told him in English that she will answer in Arabic! This deserves another medal. https://t.co/TYPKPypsnX

@Tracking_Power Advocating lawlessness is never legitimate under any circumstances, ever, for any reason. Hate or any other type speech is never legitimate when it lies about or vilifies one people in defense of another. International laws protect human rights. Nations and individuals in

Here is a sign of the weakness of the "left" in the UK. Fittingly, it's Stand Up to Racism intervening in the speech of an invited speaker at an anti-fascist rally to insist that she should not make a speech about Palestine. Her megaphone is switched off and she is told "this

Bigots who’ve built entire careers inciting precisely the evil we’re witnessing did not ‘warn’ of it. The only honest ‘warnings’ came from people who explained what would happen if we kept giving racist liars newspaper columns, TV & radio slots & season tickets for Question Time.

A reminder that today we are policing two protests - a march from Parliament Square to Hyde Park organised the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and a counter protest organised by Enough is Enough which is taking place in Pall Mall.
