The agency that's brought about commitments to radical reform has come from movements largely outside of Welsh Labour - only a handful noted in the piece

[Jack Kellam @Jack_Kellam_]

Wrote about the Labour-Plaid co-operation agreement, reading Welsh politics through an English lens, and the need for disciplined scepticism 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

If there are grounds for cautious hope - they're first and foremost not in Welsh Labour

Please sign this petition calling for the release of bodycam+CCTV footage from Mohamud Mohammad Hassan’s arrest and time in police custody. It’s been nearly 1 year: Who contributed to the death of Hassan? If we don’t get them, they can get us all.

Petition for the release of bodycam and CCTV footage from Mohamud Hassan's arrest.

SW Police has already commented on the content of the footage - without transparency there cannot be trust. 👇 https://t.co/U7SRRo48bv https://t.co/xgg3m2PNEo

because uniformly all white leadership or nearly all white leadership, a failure to have elected a BAME person- that’s the antithesis to an independent wales. Our struggles must match our communities or they won’t be successful in our communities.

[POC4WELSHINDY @POC4INDY]

A radical campaign for Indy cannot be 100% run by white people in excluding people of colour: this is what racism looks like in public but naturally, we will be told it’s conscious+ unconscious bias, that they didn’t mean this, what can they do 2 not self perpetuate their racism

There’s nothing radical about ignoring yr siblings in solidarity while we experience an epidemic of the prison industrial complex, nothing radical about refusing to organize around borders when people r deported; nothing radical about a group of white people leading this campaign

We are not the organizers of this event.

@EmmaSandrey @bethanjenkins @DafyddTrystan @huw4ogmore We’re seeing erasure of BAME women and those systemic issues trickle down: for example, what are the relationships and working cultures like between white women Senedd members and grassroots BAME women activists- and what is the dynamic like?

[POC4WELSHINDY @POC4INDY]

Does this break new ground on understandings of slavery in Wales? Who makes the money from the rose? Who gets the money from the rose? Why have those linked to the campaign made a number of false assertions about John’s life, like he was the first ethnic minority to speak Welsh?

[POC4WELSHINDY @POC4INDY]

The Ystumllyn rose is a new example of breaking new ground in tokenizing our history for the white gaze while creating new narratives about colonialism and slavery in Wales that refuse to interrogate colonialism and slavery

Britain’s “first black gardener”, kidnapped from west Africa and put on an estate in wales.

[POC4WELSHINDY @POC4INDY]

he was kept as a slave: whether or not he was treated well doesn’t factor into it, and this is a trope about slavery and slave owners

[Malcolm X Movement🔻 @mxmovement]

@moi_chevalier Good point. Can you imagine: “look here Garett, I got this wonderful rose, named after our first black gardener. Was a slave you know, from the old Gold Coast.’ 🙄😑

[Idris NM @moi_chevalier]

@mxmovement And they’re gonna make a big profit from sales

[Malcolm X Movement🔻 @mxmovement]

@moi_chevalier They gave him a name after kidnapping him, and then name a rose after the name they gave him cos he was forced to be a gardener for his kidnappers. LOL. The wacky crazy world of colonialism. 💔
