“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

“To be honest, I think things are worse now than in 1979,” he says. “Clearly, there was a lot more racial violence then than there is now, but it’s coming back. What’s worse now is that the rhetoric of the extreme far right is not too dissimilar from the rhetoric across the political spectrum.”

As a child in the National Front’s heyday, fear made HOPE not Hate’s CEO try to conceal his origins. Now he says tensions are worse than they were in 1979

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 12d

I’m deeply concerned about recent racist attacks in our capital city.

From the TfL workers being punched and racially abused to women who were chased down the street - I’m deeply concerned about the alarming rise of racist attacks in our capital city.

We are also seeing appalling incidents elsewhere in the country - some of which have included abhorrent violence towards children.

These incidents illustrate the dangers of allowing racism to be normalised and mainstreamed. Real lives and personal safety are under threat.

I will continue to speak out against racial inequalities and injustices, as well as providing support to organisations working to support our communities and bring people together.

London is a successful, liberal and multicultural city. The greatest in the world. It will always be for everyone and I promise you: that will never change.

MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN

This is a fantastic read about how we've excluded kids from experiencing and exploring our city.

"a major reason for this trend is that we’ve deprived children of their right to the city"

We need to do better! #yyccc

Cars versus kids: How resistance to change limits children’s right to the city

Through a long history of prioritizing cars in our cities, we have normalized not seeing or hearing children on our streets.
