We're busy packing suitcases of medical aid to bring to Cuba tomorrow. 🇮🇪 🇨🇺
GRMA to all who've assisted us source it (special thanks to Dr David Hickey).
The USA is illegally and savagely strangling the island and crippling its people.
I hope Ernie Clement went into the #WorldBaseballClassic naively; discovered much of his Team USA colleagues were racists, warmongers + general assholes; and will come back to the @BlueJays w/ renewed commitment to #ThePowerOfFriendship (and to never play for Amerikkka again)
@metpoliceuk let me get this straight, you lot are going to investigate me for something I’ve already been investigated for, twice, by two separate forces (you were one of them) which both resulted in no further action?
Did Mark Rowley get a call from some of his friends?
Fuck Keir Starmer
- A man who couldn't get us cancelled from Glasto
- A man who couldn't beat us in court
- A man who has destroyed the Labour Party
- A man whose government supports war criminals in Israel with weapons and intelligence
Bad reasons to hate fascists
• they're fat
• you think they are uneducated
• they're wearing masks
• you think they are unemployed
Good reasons to hate fascists
• mostly the whole fascism thing
2/2 despite some reporting saying otherwise this was *NOT* a protest it was an attempt to attack a local Bristol boozer and any Antifascists they could find.
Fascism has been on the rise for awhile and stopping it is not a spectator sport.
Support your local Antifascists!
3.30pm today 20+ masked fascists drove to East Bristol in a van and a couple of cars and attempted to force their way into The Red Lion while a benefit gig was starting up.
They attacked people outside before more locals/antis and cops arrived, then they drove off.
1/2
People need reflection.
I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed.
You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.
Dear friends, I've written my 2nd collection of poems!
The 12th draft of ‘Rooms’ has been emailed to my publisher. Hopefully, @peepaltreepress will love it.
Poetry journal editors: most of these poems have yet to be sent out. Feel free to DM if you want first dibs!
Gaza Freedom Flotilla Coalition has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He was severely beaten by seven ppl in Israeli custody.
Labour must stand for Chris Smalls and stand for Palestine.
12 immigration cops reportedly having lunch at Rosey Restaurant on Green Lanes. If anyone can get down there to ruin their lunch/follow the vans when they leave please do!
Prescribing Palestine Action is an enormous authoritarian escalation, but it has not happened in isolation: the Crime and Policing Bill - which is being actively backed by NGOs and trade unions - is a terrifying crackdown on protest. This moment is about one group AND all of us.
