I need to be absolutely serious for once.

Never, EVER reply 'yes' or similar to tweets like this. In the UK you'll do 14 years in jail (not a joke). If you're abroad and visit, you'll be arrested at the airport.

Crazy that this tweet was made by a UK politician to trap people.

Doctors Without Borders personnel are trading aid for sex and coercing women to have sex in exchange for aid in Sudan

we are literally finished as a country omfg most of the general public has the mental capacity of a fucking peanut

[G.T @gingerrtom]

Laughing at innocent people running for their lives while calling them "parasites" because of the colour of their skin just proves that nazis are the biggest cancer to this planet.

Some queer white ppl act like u can’t care about more than one issue at a time, it’s not our fault y’all are performative about things u cherry pick to care about

Ppl in the LGBTQ+ community SHOULD be able to hold multiple priorities, values, emotional investments simultaneously

[Ben Mclaine @BenMclaine]

Strange to think that the far right probably did more criminal damage in a single night than Palestine Solidarity movements have done in the past three years.

Two tier policing, indeed.

🚨🇬🇧 A man in Bolton allegedly tried to burn down the home of a local Imam while his young family were inside.

Not shouted abuse. Not a nasty tweet. Not “concerns about immigration.” A man in a motorbike helmet tried to set fire to a Muslim family’s home with children inside.

And this is exactly why Tommy Robinson’s rhetoric is so dangerous.

When you tell angry crowds that Britain’s towns are being taken over by “Pakistani Muslims,” “race gangs,” and hostile minorities; when you take a murder with no Muslim connection and deliberately drag Muslims into it; when you tell people they are under attack in their own country - you are not “just asking questions.”

You are painting a target on innocent people.

Tommy Robinson does not need to personally hand someone a petrol can for his rhetoric to matter. This is how incitement works in the real world. You create the enemy. You repeat the lie. You tell people they are victims of a conspiracy. Then some coward in a helmet decides an Imam’s family home is a legitimate target.

That is not patriotism.

That is fascist politics: collective punishment, racial paranoia, religious hatred, and violence against innocent families for the supposed crimes of people they have never met.

If this Bolton attack is confirmed, it should be treated with the full seriousness it deserves: an alleged attempt to burn a Muslim family alive in their own home.

And every politician, pundit and “free speech” grifter who has spent years demonising Muslims should be asked one simple question:

How many more homes have to burn before you admit what your words are doing?

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “legitimate concerns” and “working class revolt”

It’s working-class Black and brown people being pushed out of their homes. This is racist violence and intimidation. Don’t dress it up as anything else.

[s. ☽☾ @BlS3XUALlSM]

the fact you think your sexuality alone can free you from the shackles of the patriarchy explains why so many of you feel so free and safe to talk about bi and straight women the way you do

[Lilo ⚢ @MPrincess808]

People mad as hell in the comments but as a lesbian I agree.... I'd rather have a straight ally at pride events than any phobic queers....

[biphobes public ennemy @biresistance]

Bisexual history is so difficult to retrace because most of us have been forced into a monosexual label… like ppl talk about the AIDS crisis and how it hurt gay men and lesbians helped, but you have no source about bi men and bi women experience and role during that time.

Actually, rich people don't dıė if you tax them more but vulnerable people do dıė if you cut their welfare.

You learned to fear communism from the same establishment that defended colonialism, segregation, and apartheid.

23 years ago today, American activist Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer as she tried to stop the demolition of a Palestinian home in Gaza
Peace be upon your soul, Rachel

[Bad News Bettie (PUT IT TF ON 😷‼️) @profesh_fucker]

yall dont see the correlation between the pedophile president with inside ties to a child rape trafficking enterprise and the explosion of missing and pregnant children in these concentration camps? this is what happens when we do nothing

[Abdi Duale @AbdiDuale_]

Pride is, and always will be, a protest.

Four years ago, outside the Two Brewers in Clapham, I found myself in the middle of a homophobic attack.

Two young men standing next to me were assaulted by a woman simply for kissing.
Like anyone witnessing a hate crime, I intervened. Unfortunately, I then bore the brunt of a physical attack from her friend, who knocked me to the ground while shouting homophobic slurs.

The staff at @2BrewersClapham were brilliant. They intervened immediately and the police arrested those responsible.

Four years later, having heard very little from the police, I received the email that has become all too familiar to many victims: no further action.

So yes, Pride is a celebration. But when people are still being attacked for who they are, and when victims are left without justice, it remains a protest too.

[ALUTHEDON @Mbakaza4L]

This is the massacre where Israelis stole the baby in oven story from. While holding villagers in a bakery hostage, Zionist soldiers ordered the owner to put his son into the burning oven. The father refused so the soldiers threw his son into the oven and made him watch.

[señorita awesome @user7643789327]

the assumption that a bi womans bf will be a bigoted cishet man comes from the stereotype that bi women are dumb whores who go for the first dick they see.
