Fascism is not some distant nightmare locked away in history books. It is a dark, living force that haunts the present, casting its shadow over the United States with terrifying clarity.
The brutal dehumanization, the cruelty inflicted on vulnerable people, the aggressive nationalism and racism, these are not echoes from the past but the harsh reality of today. Concentration camps for children, hateful rhetoric that strips away humanity, and the rise of authoritarian power show that fa…

Steven Pinker has recently appeared on a podcast, which serves as a platform for scientific racism. Not the first time he's shown associations to scientific racism.
To be honest, after I learnt to take the "it's actually all getting better" narratives with a grain of salt, I decided not to buy into the Pinker hype. So, I'm not disappointed.

This bit was more funny when MAGA didn't actually do EXACTLY what MadTV parodied back in 1998.

Just quietly, I spent a lot of November- April mentally preparing myself for a Trump-alike in Australia.
That resoundingly didn't happen, I am so thankful!! Whatever faults Albanese has, he is not Dutton and doesn't have Dutton's track record of racism/anti-immigration.
But I am noticing myself being cautious and self-censoring when responding to posts about the US. Even when I'm simply liking pro-democracy, pro-rule-of-law content! I guess I'm not ready to let my guard down yet

Just finished "To a Darker Shore" by Leanne Schwartz. It's a blend of fantasy (a genre I enjoyed a lot when younger but which I now feel is hit-or-miss depending on the politics of the author) and romance (a genre I'm currently a bit obsessed with) and I enjoyed it very much. The element of an #OwnVoices autistic perspective was interesting, and the mythology was pretty cool. Even though I felt as though monstrousness could have been explored from an even better angle, the complexity in this book was comfortable, and it to my mind successfully-enough avoided the veneer of racism that runs through the mainstream fantasy tradition.

ICE raids appear to be giving criminals license to do whatever the f--- they want. But silly me... this has always been about Trump's racism, not law & order.
All you Trump voters are responsible for the misery of millions.

❗ "Massey is the 13th councillor in Scotland, out of a total of 1,226, to have defected to Reform"
- I can't help wondering if Farage, who has access to large sums of right-wing American money, is PAYING those councillors to defect, literally BUYING THEM.

Great to be out on the streets of Galway marching with comrades of all colours, creeds, and kinds standing against racism, discrimination, imperialism, and colonialism. A huge thanks to Galway Communities Against Racism and Discrimination for organising it. We have a world to win and that means standing up against discrimination and oppression and changing the system which facilitates it, Capitalism.

New Zealand prime minister Ardern was grappling with whether to go:
“Something had been loosened worldwide,” she says,
with rage everywhere,
public servants being followed and attacked,
as if they were “somehow distinct from being human”.
We all recognise this rage,
but Ardern was at the centre of it,
representing progressive politics, tough Covid measures, empathy, emotion, anti-racism, femaleness;
a symbol of a different time, more rational…

Liberals (in basically any western country) think that the political victory of the right is due to messaging: "We just need to get the messaging right".
No. Your politics are shit because you are adopting the narratives of the right (austerity, racism) and provide no meaningful alternatives.

Yeah, if you're still a Starmer supporter after his racist Enoch Powell channelling, it's a block from me.
Have some fucking limits, centrists. You know, like on genocide or killing babies or racism?
Why is it that right-wing cunts always hijack Labour? Fuck off and join the Tories, traitors.

Remember when Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder made those arrogantly racist & fundamentally incorrect comments in the 80s?
He got FIRED from CBS for that.

Finished Hollow Fires by Samira Ahmed last night. It's gripping, sad, and fierce all at the same time. Explores themes of racism, Islamophobia, white supremacist terrorism, and police malcompetence in an extremely timely manner. It's a good book, which I'm extra happy about since I also liked Ahmed's This Book Won't Burn, so now I have another author whose work I'll be reading through.
Including Sabaa Tahir, Sabina Khan, and Adiba Jaigirdar, I've been reading a ton of great YA books by south Asian muslim authors recently, all discovered via the "grab something off the YA shelf by a probably-not-white author" method that has yet to fail me. Turns out the racism in publishing that puts a higher bar in front of authors of color at least makes it easy to find good books in one way >:(

Nottingham May Day march
Out by the Central Library listening to May Day March speeches.
Lots of Palestine flags, Nottingham Against Transphobia, banners from Unison, Royal College of Nursing. Also Stand Up to Racism, who in my book are still questionable due to their links with the SWP.
Apparently there's some current strike action about back pay for health workers, I only got the gist of it.
Also heard from Save Our Services, and just now it was Shuguftah Quddoos speaking on behalf of the Green Party. Last I heard, Shuguftah was Labour, but apparently not any more!
