Who I had no idea ...but not surprised either. And then we're asked to explain "what structural, institutionalised, systemic racism?".

I've had very few ppl reach out to me in the current UK situation. 1 just texted: "What's going on in🇬🇧?Ofc I saw the news but it's all so vague. Can you break it down for me?". This is a white person. I didn't reply but what's so confusing!? Self-educate & -inform, if you care.

Can almost hear the sight of relief of most white Brits today "we are not as bad as depicted" "see, we are actually good". Meanwhile, you live laugh and love in a society that fosters hateful violence and privileges you without doing much about it long-term.

Probably a wise move, seeing how messed up Musk and this app can get and how it propagates harm and hate.

History shows us three things which I believe remain broadly true:
1. The vast majority of people don't support fascism & are even opposed to it
2. Yet most will do nothing much to stop its rise to power
3. The liberal elite is no bulwark and can't be trusted to stand in its way

...making you, and a lot of people who look like you, feel unwanted. Your country of birth is immaterial, no one merits violence or hate whether British passport holders or immigrants. No one.

Dear white people. Respectfully, please have a word with those other white people who are beginning to make me feel unwanted in the country of my birth. Don't be silent.

i need all them big talkers "they wouldn't dare come to London" to actually shut up, show up and organise. we need to keep the communities safe. London has the biggest concentration of minorities in the uk.

Just a week or so ago, I had the misfortune of witnessing their far-right rally, massive crowds in the midst of Trafalgar Square. Why is it now normal to spew hate in London's most famous public place? Some of them got on my train — I've never felt so unsafe and scared. #UKRiots

Stop calling racist people ‘anti-immigrant’. They haven’t been attacking white American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, French and Italian immigrants, have they?

Don't love this phrase 'anti-immigration protestors' used on the BBC just now. They're not really anti-immigration. It's not like they're targeting Canadians. They're racists. And these are not protests. They're attempted pogroms.

it's heartbreaking going through your messages to check if your friends in smaller towns are safe. going on your socials to check if your organiser friends are safe. going on spaces and hear other minority people cry from exhaustion and fear.
why do we have to prove we are human?
