So many incidents of children & young adults committing violent #racist attacks in UK that EVERY school needs serious conversations about where they sit in this climate of #racism & what they’ll do to challenge it & protect students & families

Birmingham City University urged not to axe Black Studies MA and target 5 Black members of staff for redundancy. “In the US there is an attack on Black intellectual thought, in the UK there is so little in higher ed that the problem is erasure" https://t.co/nLpUu1vEB3

It's wild that I have to do this, but @HeidiBachram clipped 57 seconds of this video to misrepresent me. I use a quote from a conversation with Kurt Vonnegut and Susan Sontag, in which she discusses human behaviour after studying the Holocaust. In that context, I talk about human behaviour and how we can build community in the lead-up to the next general election. In this video, I actually say that reform voters are not devils. Yet due to NOT watching the full video, @RobertJenrick is saying I am comparing reform voters to nazis. Truth matters, folks, even on X.

@HalilMrT4Real The racists are definitely not hiding their opinions these days - there’s been a deliberate shift by politicians & media in what’s considered socially acceptable to say & it’s emboldened them and the local elections will only exaggerate this
Hope you’re ok?

BREAKING: At just 18, Independent candidate Mansur Ahmed has defeated Labour in Birmingham to become Britain’s youngest councillor.

I followed his campaign in Nechells, one of the most deprived areas in Birmingham. All of his team are under the age of 23.

@TeachLeadAAli I only pop in every few months or so- to see what’s going on, but I’ve pretty much given up posting anything here now as nobody was engaging…not even the haters! RIP Twitter!!

An award-winning Black bookshop is facing a “critical moment” to sell 1,000 books before the end of April so that Black authors ‘don’t lose a platform for their books.’ Afrori Books in Brighton has only four days left to reach its goal. https://t.co/3RvvvCLoxM

Both of these faith communities face prejudice, racism, threats and violence.
Both communities should receive the same treatment and neither should have to fight harder than the other for the state’s protection.

[Ruth Sinhal @ruthsinhal]

One of the #BritishValues taught in every school is: “Mutual respect & tolerance for those with different faiths & beliefs”
Many assume this guarantees equality for all
Equality should mean the same rules, equal definitions, the same measurements, equal rights to protection.

[Ruth Sinhal @ruthsinhal]

Swipe through the slides &see if this statement of equality is reflected in reality for British Jews & Muslims.
In a week where UK government redefined #Islamophobia as Anti-Muslim Hostility & the world recognises UN Day to Combat Islamophobia it’s worth analysing the facts

The racism at the heart of these assumptions about “the Muslim vote” is undeniable
Believing “a racial or ethnic group share the same characteristics, abilities, or behaviours” is central to any definition of racism

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

British Muslims are not a monolith nor do they only care about foreign policy issues.

Over the past few days I’ve spoken to dozens of Muslim voters across Gorton and Denton.

The most common issues they raised were local issues: litter, traffic, housing, cost of living

@ScottDonalh3jc @Taj_Ali1 Before the British Raj, India was a dominant global economic power, accounting for 23-25% of the world's GDP in the 17th & early 18th centuries. Under the Mughal Empire, India was a major manufacturer for textiles & goods, with per capita GDP over 60% of the British level in 1600
