300-500 of us showed up to defend an immigration solicitor in Cheadle last night.
No far right turned up.
The police did racially profile a man, handcuffed him and took him to their van but we all blocked the roads and were chanting and yelling for him to be given back 1/3
He hadn't done anything, he'd been with our crowd the whole time.
They held him for 5/10 mins but they gave him back, I'm sure they did it so quickly because the crowd weren't going to let someone be racially profiled at an anti-racist demonstration.
The organisers were 2/3
Too quick to get back to the speeches imo.
The white woman's tone "he's been released, turn around, go back and listen to the speakers" (verbatim)
Excuse me, we're here to stop racism. It just happened. Just because it was the police not the far-right doesn't mean we ignore it.
i think what we've discovered tonight is that Farage has been lying.
britain doesn't actually agree with him.
he doesn't 'have a point'.
could we stop putting him on the tv now?
since he basically only represents a fringe that have fallen for his lies.
Liverpool, Walthamstow, Oxford, Bristol - beautiful scenes from up and down the country of communities coming together in the face of hatred this evening.
THIS is who we are, THIS is what we should be striving for.

I got to run the stall for a union I love @AcornManchester at one of my favourite festivals last week 😁
Talked to loads of people about how we brought Manchester buses under public control and use our strength in numbers.
Thanks to everyone who signed up!
Up the punks ✊️

Was talking about this with an artist friend and biz owner just yesterday.
It's horrendous.
We don't need AI to steal our voices or our art. We don't want it taking joyous things from us!
We should just be using it to create wealth/aid our lives/do things we DON'T want to do!

I'm getting a colour analysis done on Tuesday and I'm SO EXCITED
I've been fascinated by it since I saw a video of someone going through the colour drapes 🌈 I'm just useless at being able to myself though!
Has anyone had it done? Or been able to obviously tell from a filter??

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Support the Disabled People's Manifesto.

It shouldn't have to happen to you for it to matter to you - but remember you could become disabled at any time. It's not just something that only happens to 'other' people.
