I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth — where much of my family still live and where I went for sixth form. It’s a proud, diverse, working-class community.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

The political and media establishment normalises this racism, but we won’t stay silent. We stand with all our communities and against the far-right.

Never forget that 3,000 people or so died on 9/11, and we went to war with someone (not the doers) for like 2 decades.

This is just the children? And it's 6× that amount.

FYI: Rev. Black (in the clip above) is one of several clergy who told me they've been shot with pepper balls by agents at that ICE facility, among other things.

@imixwhatilike.bsky.social what is/was your preferred variety of Uncle Nearest? I haven't had any whiskey in the house for months, but I bought some Nearest today. I got the white label, 93 proof. I didn't feel like getting either of the 100+ proof varieties.

Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act and send the National Guard to our cities — completely ignoring federal judges’ orders.

This is authoritarianism — and from someone who actually incited an insurrection on Jan 6th.

Trump open to invoking the Insurrection Act

The comments came a day after a federal judge blocked the president from sending National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.
