I was born in England, but I was reborn in Scotland. And that rebirth has given me clarity - not to divide, but to stand for a Scotland that believes in itself and its right to chart its own path.👇

He's right, bigoted, racist, middle aged white men are the biggest problem & threat to us all. But they aren't the only ones either.

Trump today called for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to be locked up in jail.

The chilling announcement comes on the same day when former FBI Director James Comey is being arraigned on bogus criminal charges after Trump ordered his AG Pam Bondi to prosecute him.

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.

Richard and Laurie Eckman weren’t screaming or being violent. They were just standing outside the ICE building in Portland, holding space at a peaceful protest. Richard even wore his veteran cap. All they were guilty of was standing around with a sign.

The first secret police organization in fascist Italy—the precursor to the German Gestapo—was the OVRA, the Organization for Vigilance and Repression of Anti-Fascism.

Those who fear-monger about "Antifa" are walking directly in Mussolini's footsteps.

On October 4, in protest against the rigging of the municipal elections, demonstrators in Tbilisi tore down the gates of the presidential palace and stormed the courtyard.

For background on the stakes of the ongoing social movement against the Georgian government:

Resisting Local Authoritarianism and Multipolar Imperialisms in Georgia

The protests in Georgia point beyond a choice between Europe and Russia, rejecting both local authoritarian rule and foreign economic domination.

NEW: In May, a Texas police department said they used the powerful Flock surveillance network against a woman who had an abortion "for her safety"

Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime

Criticizing & hating israel is not anti-semitism.
Just as criticizing & hating Uganda for its homophobic Laws, is not racism.

When i read these articles & claims of the rise of anti-semitism, i wish to see examples of these cases & see how many of these supposed cases of anti-semitism are just peoples criticism & hate towards israel for the illegal acts they carry out, for the barbaric acts carried out by israelis.

I work in a predominately male workforce, a lot of young guys, over the years i have heard misogyny, homophobia, hate & inappropriate comments made about Muslims, migrants, refugees. I have never heard any anti-semitism, or any hateful comments or jokes about Jewish people or Judaism.
