Any of my English friends know antifascist organizers in Leicester? There's a Nazi shithead they need to be aware of.

Travis Brown @travisbrown.dev · 1d

Just found a Nazi anon whose X avatar has a swastika in the foreground and a distinctive motivational poster in the background.

Also found an AI startup founder on LinkedIn whose profile image happens to show a corner of the same poster (just out of view in the round image frame).

I can’t get over how weird this is. There’s no way he didn’t intentionally include the little corner of the “E” in the crop, just to remove any possibility of doubt. What the fuck is happening in America

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

A pox on all politicians who upheld this genocide. May your withered souls never know peace. May the images of the horrors visited upon the Palestinians people haunt you day and night, infest your dreams. May you never know peace and joy ever again

It's clear that when the US wants a ceasefire deal, one miraculously occurs. Makes the "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" stuff from last year even more disgusting.
