Far-right violence hasn’t come out of nowhere.
It is the result of anti-migrant rhetoric from mainstream politicians who scapegoat refugees.
We are an anti-racist movement that believes in a more inclusive world. We defeated the far right before. We will defeat them again.
Today, on #WorldChildrensDay, @RishiSunak hosted a global food security summit.
And right now, children in #Gaza are at risk of starvation.
Campaigner Martine Lekutanoy explains why the UK must call for an end to the Government of #Israel's siege of Gaza, and a #CeasefireNOW.
We may be witnessing the total obliteration of Gaza.
Political leaders refusing to speak out should feel eternal shame over the horror they are allowing to unfold.
Those of us who believe in peace cannot stay silent. We must say to the Palestinian people: you are not alone.
🇵🇸 #Gaza: This statement by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s daughter, Maria Guardiola has put a lot of politicians, celebrities, journalists and others with a platform to shame:
‘My God.
So is this really what we're going to do now? Just sit back and watch a genocide happen on the telly? Then decades from now, when it's in the history books, all look round at each other and ask, 'how did that happen?'
For the first time, I truly understand how mass atrocities have been able to occur throughout history - again, and again, and again. We never learn.
What does the death count need to be before someone finally speaks against this madness and urges restraint, not more arms? 10,000? 100,000?
A million? More? When have enough Palestinians died?
I get that lots of us are scared to speak up. I get we're afraid to say the "wrong thing. But I won't sit by in silence and live with the fact that I never spoke up when an atrocity on this scale was committed because of fear. We can express our complete condemnation for what the Israeli govt are doing and also assert our unwavering belief in the equal value of Palestinian lives, without inciting hatred against Jewish communities - another persecuted people. Indeed, many Jewish and Israeli people, in the midst of their deep grief and knowing the pain of persecution too well, have had the bravery and strength to be the very first to do so.
This is quite simple. We are watching an occupied, oppressed people face annihilation by a nuclear state with the full backing of the western world. This is not - and has never been - an 'equal fight'. Right now, it is a massacre on a scale I don't think I've ever seen in my life.
6,000 bombs dropped in 6 days already. On a strip of land just 25 miles long and 7.5 miles wide at its widest point. Whole neighbourhoods flattened. Families wiped out. Hospitals collapsing under the weight of the casualties. On a population of 2 million - half of them children. 70% of them refugees. And now, the forced movement of 1 million people. A choice of forced migration or death is ethnic cleansing. The fact that it is impossible for that many to leave in that time means that this is now a genocide.
We have gone way, way beyond wishy washy 'praying for peace', 'all life is precious' IG statements, posted to show you've done your bit of performative activism. Show you mean it. If you have any kind of platform right now, please use it. Speak. Because it's becoming glaringly obvious that the world is happy to walk into an unspeakable horror that we didn't even bother to try to prevent.’

If you see this PLEASE sign. So many people including my Nan are lucky to be alive but are now homeless because of the inadequacy of the Turkish government. https://t.co/QRySsETkPb
The level of destruction caused by the earthquake in Turkey makes it look like a war zone. This is utterly heartbreaking. Pray for Turkey and especially for the people trapped under the rubble.
I bought a few pieces of art from here in May 2020 and 8 months later it still hasn’t arrived. I’ve had no response. I’ve been blocked on Instagram and just read some of the other reviews from December where other people have experienced the same. It’s SCAM do NOT buy from here.
Watching what @MarcusRashford is doing is incredible. Please do take the time to sign if you live in the UK. Our children are our future. https://t.co/nFkqJM8yGn

So Chadwick Boseman filmed Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther, Marshall, two Avengers movies, 21 Bridges, and Da 5 Bloods after he was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer – which almost no one knew about. What a devastating loss. Rest in power. Fuck cancer.
