At midnight tonight I will be closing my Twitter account. 'X' was not what I signed for and Twitter no longer exists. Given the overt racism of this site and the fact Elon Musk is affecting a coup, I have to leave.
Love to you all, Jeggit.
Get off Twitter. You may think you're in control, but you are not. The algorithm is engineered to keep you angry, disrupt public discourse, and undermine democracy. Stop using it.
The US-controlled Ukrainian government has banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church because of its 'links' to Russia. This is the same logic as banning Judaism because of its links to Israel. It's another human rights violation by a neo-Nazi state.
Rape and sexual violence are central to Israel's campaign against Palestine. Jewish law permits soldiers to rape Palestinian women and girls, says IDF Chief Rabbi.
Now even the Israeli media is reporting Israeli soldiers are routinely raping Palestinian detainees, adults and children. It's safe to say the IDF is a military rape gang.
Saddened to hear of the death of Iain Lawson. He was an upstanding patron of the Dog and Duck (and fully paid up), and, despite our differences, a mighty voice for Scottish independence. My love to his wife and family.
Tonight mass demonstrations made a real material difference, they've even forced the right-wing hate media to backtrack (briefly).
That's real power, real democracy & the start of saving us from the nightmare of barbarism that was descending on us.
It's not the end though!
It should surprise no one that libraries have been targeted by British far-right terrorists. Libraries were their first target in their campaign against trans rights. This is right from the pages of the 1930s Nazi play book.
While British cities burn and black and black and brown people live in abject terror, the British media continues to platform racists. Britain has been drunk on Islamophobic racism for decades. This is not over yet.
