@AOC I'm Norwegian,but I'm also seriously worried about the way Republicans are taking down USA. Once we really admired that country, today half of USA seems filled with halfwitted idiots intent on spreading misogynist,illiterate,racist, Russian propaganda fabricated by faux Fox News

No, I mean when people take individual crimes and use them to smear millions of Muslims as a collective threat.

That isn’t truth, it's basic bigotry.

If a white man murders someone, you don’t demand every white community answer for it. If a Christian commits a crime, you don’t say Britain is under attack from Christians. But when the suspect is brown, Muslim, foreign, or even just rumoured to be, suddenly the far-right treats whole communities as guilty.

Turn a crime into a racial grievance. Turn grief into paranoia. Turn innocent neighbours into enemies.

The National Front tried this fascist shit years ago. They failed. You will fail, too.

🚨🇬🇧 A man in Bolton allegedly tried to burn down the home of a local Imam while his young family were inside.

Not shouted abuse. Not a nasty tweet. Not “concerns about immigration.” A man in a motorbike helmet tried to set fire to a Muslim family’s home with children inside.

And this is exactly why Tommy Robinson’s rhetoric is so dangerous.

When you tell angry crowds that Britain’s towns are being taken over by “Pakistani Muslims,” “race gangs,” and hostile minorities; when you take a murder with no Muslim connection and deliberately drag Muslims into it; when you tell people they are under attack in their own country - you are not “just asking questions.”

You are painting a target on innocent people.

Tommy Robinson does not need to personally hand someone a petrol can for his rhetoric to matter. This is how incitement works in the real world. You create the enemy. You repeat the lie. You tell people they are victims of a conspiracy. Then some coward in a helmet decides an Imam’s family home is a legitimate target.

That is not patriotism.

That is fascist politics: collective punishment, racial paranoia, religious hatred, and violence against innocent families for the supposed crimes of people they have never met.

If this Bolton attack is confirmed, it should be treated with the full seriousness it deserves: an alleged attempt to burn a Muslim family alive in their own home.

And every politician, pundit and “free speech” grifter who has spent years demonising Muslims should be asked one simple question:

How many more homes have to burn before you admit what your words are doing?

Mark this moment.

This is where the endgame begins—though it might take two years to play out.

A President of the United States is openly linking the *Pentagon* and rigging elections for his party.

He is framing an authoritarian takeover as something the *U.S. military* wants.

This is Sad!

For almost 30 years, leaders from both parties have set politics aside to honor the women veterans who gave their lives for this country at Arlington National Cemetery.

Then Trump and Hegseth shut it down.

Why? Because the ceremony recognized women.

This is an insult to every woman who wore the uniform, served with courage, and sacrificed for this nation.

Yesterday, @demwomencaucus stood with the women veterans Trump and Hegseth tried to erase and held an event anyway.

We see you. We honor you. We thank you. 🇺🇸

There's less and less difference between the things mentioned under 4. Ben Gvir, himself a convicted terrorist, celebrated the passing of a law that gives them the right to hang every Palestinian who can be suspected of being a terrorist, meaning every single Palestinian in Gaza

1. The Holocaust was evil, as everyone knows
2. The Holocaust was NOT uniquely evil, as some claim
3. Throughout history there have been other comparable genocides, often carried out by Europeans against indigenous people
4. The genocide in Gaza is not the same as the Holocaust, obviously, but it is in the same moral category
5. The Nazis killed babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they were Jews. The Israelis kill babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they are Palestinian
6. Israel and its supporters weaponise and abuse the memory of the Holocaust, sometimes to close down argument and sometimes even to justify the genocide in Gaza

The ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London this Sunday.

This disgraceful event will involve the sale of land stolen from Palestinians in illegal Israeli settlements.

Today, I called for the Government to ban this event.

Israeli minister calls for kidnapping of Lebanese women and children to break Hezbollah morale
——
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged the political-security cabinet to abduct and imprison Lebanese women and children as a psychological warfare tactic against Hezbollah, according to a closed-door leak published by Hebrew news outlet Walla.

During a high-level ministerial meeting reviewing expanded military calculations, Ben-Gvir demanded that Tel Aviv abandon conventional strategy and explicitly target the social and familial core of the Lebanese resistance network.

"We must think outside the box regarding Hezbollah," Ben-Gvir asserted to his fellow cabinet members, according to the report. The Israeli minister added that alongside occupying southern territory and intensifying lethal strikes on personnel, Israeli forces should actively round up civilians.

"We should arrest their women and children and take them to prison; this is what hurts them the most," he stated.

Palantir is working with ICE.
Palantir is using AI to kill civilians in Gaza.

Why the hell are we giving Palantir our NHS information?

Palantir need to be banned from UK Government, just like the Swiss banned them from theirs.

Seniors and disabled Americans needing care at home are now blocked from getting it.

They call it “anti-fraud.”
We call it what it is: abandonment.

HISTORY LESSON

The Nazi Party branded itself the 'National Socialist German Workers' Party' to appeal to working-class men. After staging massive 'pro-worker' May Day rallies on May 1, 1933, the very next day Hitler banned independent trade unions, seized their assets, and arrested their leaders.

On May 2, 1933, the SA (Storm Troopers), SS, and police occupied trade union offices nationwide in a coordinated action. They seized assets, records, and funds while arresting union leaders and officials. Contemporary U.S. State Department reports and other sources noted around 50 prominent arrests in the initial wave, including key figures like Theodor Leipart (chairman of the General German Trade Union Federation, ADGB), Peter Grassmann, and former Labor Minister Rudolf Wissell.

Many more local and regional leaders faced arrests in the following days and weeks. Large numbers endured beatings, imprisonment, or transfer to early concentration camps such as Dachau (opened in March 1933 primarily for political opponents).

Some officials were maltreated immediately, and the action extended to union banks and press offices.

This crackdown dismantled independent German trade unions (with millions of members, many aligned with Social Democrats or leftists) and replaced them with the Nazi-controlled German Labour Front (DAF). It formed part of the broader Gleichschaltung (coordination) process to eliminate independent organizations.

Over the period 1933–1945, thousands of German trade unionists, including leaders, activists, and officials, were arrested and held in prisons or concentration camps. Many suffered torture, extended detention, or surveillance after release. While outright executions of union leaders were relatively fewer in the early phase compared to other groups, many died later from camp maltreatment, disease, execution, or involvement in resistance.

The overall scale of persecution against labour organisers aligns with the regime's aim to crush independent working-class organising rather than immediately exterminate every individual.

This fits the documented pattern of political repression: by the end of July 1933, nearly 27,000 people (mostly political prisoners including communists, socialists, Social Democrats, trade unionists and left-wing activists and intellectuals) were held in early camps and detention sites.

The Nazis moved swiftly after seizing power to neutralise potential opposition from organised labor through mass arrests, violence, and forced integration into a state-controlled structure.

@docrussjackson It's hilarious to hear Nigel Farage refer to Reform as the party of workers. Their only interest is supporting the rich and getting paid for it. To welcome those with the lowest income to vote for Reform is like MAGA cultists praising Trump while they can hardly afford groceries

Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.

This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.
