It takes time for people to get that we’re in the fascist timeline.

Fascism is rooted in colonialism. We’ve seen it in Palestine & the imperial boomerang is bringing it to Europe.

I spoke to BBC five live listeners to point out the danger, & that’s why @ukstoptrump.bsky.social is mobilising ✊🏽.

The ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally is a terrifying example of what happens when politicians create performative, divisive policies to appease the far-right.

We’ve joined 100+ orgs asking the new Home Secretary to end the scapegoating of refugees and migrants 👇🏼

More than 100 charities call for home secretary to stop ‘scapegoating’ migrants

'The TikTok saga is not an anomaly. Social media platforms, AI models, semiconductor supply chains, even rare earths — all are being pulled into the gravitational field of geopolitics. Tech is no longer supra-national. It is geo-national.'

TikTok and the Death of Borderless Tech
The TikTok saga signals the end of borderless tech. Platforms, AI, and supply chains now align with national priorities, marking a shift from supra-national to geo-national technology governance…

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways.

So many people who consider themselves left are now decrying identity politics whenever racialised women raise concerns about how they’re treated. It’s the same attitude they had to the racism around Brexit - avoid identity politics, don’t alienate the white working class! Look where that got us.

Far right want free speech for racist hate but arrest & imprisonment for activists criticising Trump’s links to Epstein.

Law & order won’t save us. Trump, Farage, Starmer & the politicians inflaming racist hate are responsible for the violence on our streets today.

I fully back @zarahsultana.bsky.social. You are amazing & the misogyny, racism, islamophobia & authoritarianism present on the institutional left needs to be exposed and tackled.

It’s killing genuine transnational mobilisation of the multiracial working class.

Love & solidarity to you xx

Yesterday Ben Habib, leader of Advance UK, formerly Reform, refused to condemn Elon Musk’s speech at the far right #UniteTheKingdom rally.

Our spokesperson @seemasyeda.bsky.social debated him on BBC Radio 5 Live, where he defended the ‘carnival’ of hate supported by the US billionaire oligarchy.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

"We can’t let an egomaniac like Trump hold our rights and democracy hostage."

Full reaction from our campaigner @seemasyeda.bsky.social 👇🏼
Text reads: “This toxic technology pact that favours the interests of US tech bros and rich corporations over ordinary people must be opposed at all costs. It’s a democratic scandal that the public and parliament have been left in the dark as to its contents to date, but what we do know should ring alarm bells. Instead of bending over backwards to appease Trump in an attempt to avoid his tariff bullying, it’s time for Starmer to show real leadership and stand up to him. We can’t let an egomaniac like Trump hold our rights and democracy hostage.”
