‼️BLOOD ON BOEING'S HANDS‼️

⚡️Call to action! ⚡️

The Turkish State is bombing Kurdish & Syrian citvilians with Western weapons.

It's time to take action in solidarity with those struggling from freedom in Rojava. Wherever you are, on Thursday 1st December. 🪡

@NathonC_05 @AaronBastani Rewatched, wasn't as bad as I remembered.

Also, TBF, both A and NM have put out some better articles/tweets since.

[Hydra Books @HydraBooks]

@NathonC_05 @AaronBastani Started watching, stopped pretty quickly.

I was hoping for a powerful antidote to the rotten tripe coming out of the radio/TV and it just seemed pretty weak instead.

I felt sickened.

I will give it another chance later when less angry!

[Hydra Books @HydraBooks]

@f_longfield @AaronBastani That's not what I meant, and I think you know that.

[Hydra Books @HydraBooks]

@The_TUC ugh wtf

[Hydra Books @HydraBooks]

@hoot_little any chance of a RtD episode about 👑?

@ToniScottSays @peta_ivy_ "Who are you to tell people how they should feel? You can speak for yourself and no-one else."

Um, you might want to mention that to... the entirety of the UK media establishment right now?

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

During the 1980s, the queen tried to stop Princess Diana's work in HIV advocacy, telling her to do something "more pleasant." But Diana ignored her, instead using her platform to tackle stigma and offer comfort to terrified people sick with what was then a terminal illness.

@NathonC_05 @AaronBastani As for distinction between accounts, I think A does use his main account for his work as a media personality?

I don't have a problem with him tweeting it - I have a problem that this type of thing is his only/main response as someone who claims to stand against media hegemony.

[Hydra Books @HydraBooks]

@NathonC_05 @AaronBastani Of course he can.

But if the claim is 'media for a different politics', then that requires having the guts to explicitly take a stance against the prevailing narrative being churned out by the rest of the media right now.

To me that seems absent here.

[Hydra Books @HydraBooks]

@AaronBastani Where's your anger? Or joy?

What happened to 'media for a different politics'

[Hydra Books @HydraBooks]

@AaronBastani Depressing that your instinctive response when the leader of a racist colonial power structure dies (+ the entirety of the UK media then goes into full state propaganda mode)

..is to make an obscure academic point which at first glance seems to boil down to 'wow such STABILITY'

Protest tomorrow in Solidarity with #ChrisKaba ‘s family organised by them. He was recently murdered by British police. London, please attend

[micha @micha_frazer]

The met police fatally shot a 24-year-old Black man four days ago and I don’t think we should just allow ourselves to forget about it

[Hydra Books @HydraBooks]

Every TV and radio station in the UK: non-stop state propaganda attempting to gaslight us into believing ‘the nation is in mourning’

Trending on twitter: ‘Oh FFS’

[Hydra Books @HydraBooks]

@CWUnews ffs 🤦

Yes, and she was 31 when her military had 1.5 million people in a network of concentration camps in Kenya.
