After all the hilarity of #Trump falling in love with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, I wrote a few serious reflections about what we can learn from Mamdani's ability to engage with those we don't agree with. 👇🏽

We know the kinds of conversations that would have happened in the homes of these people over the weekend that their own children will be exposed to. Schools and the education system as a whole must confront #racism and be proudly #antiracist in everything they do. It's already gone too far.
Absolutely disgraceful and reminds me of the scenes in the US when Ruby Bridges had to be accompanied to school, as the first Black child to go to an all white school and was faced by protests from white mothers - disgusting.

First the anti-foreigner crowd went after hotels, and now they're going after schools, and people with a platform who refuse to call it out are guilty of appalling cowardice.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Israel has kidnapped hundreds of people in international waters.

They were trying to break an illegal siege which is starving the people of Gaza.

The flotilla is the best of us 👇

I’ve been saying for years the Netanyahu does not care about diaspora Jews. If you don’t live in Israel he will happily see you as colateral for his genocide. All my love to all Jews in this sad Yom Kippur. Keep being your feisty loud funny selves 💜✡️

@educatorsforpeace.bsky.social launched the first of our webinar series of professional development last night. Great to so many teachers/educators engage with us on the need to address the rise of #racism & the #FarRight, including challenging conversations dealt with compassion and humanity.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.
