Far right extremism, anti-immigration xenophobia and misogyny; often a circle in a Venn diagram. And exactly why your feminism should be anti-racist and vice versa.
Callum Parslow, the neo-Nazi terrorist who stabbed an asylum seeker at a Worcestershire hotel last year, is being sentenced today

I revealed how he was also an online stalker who had targeted at least 11 women and girls, and was on bail at the time of the attack

Thank you Hazel this is so kind 🥰. We draw on each other for strength and courage ✊🏽
I can't adequately express how much I admire & respect @nuthmani.bsky.social @gemmaclark.bsky.social @zemzc.bsky.social @msahinkley.bsky.social
These are women who practice what they preach & face hate speech for their principled stances.
I can only hope I have a fraction of their impact 💜
14/The afternoon was a very interesting roundtable discussion abt lived experience of misogyny in schools,challenges & possible solutions. 📢 my fab & fearless sisters who shared their insights. Think we were the only teachers there.

FACT CHECK: Yes, Trump Praised the Nazis in Charlottesville.

Sorry, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan, but Trump absolutely did praise neo-Nazis, and it's not actually a 'hoax.'

Good point!
Vaccines are one of those things that are truly a victim of their own success. Vaccines have been so effective, that many people have forgotten what the world was like before vaccines. Hell, a lot of doctors trained in the 80s and 90s forgot what many vaccine-preventable diseases even looked like!

Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. Would we really want to take that path?
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

Crazy how QAnon spent years fear mongering about democrats being pedophiles, meanwhile Trump stocks up his administration with actual pedophiles and child sexual abuse enablers.

“Anti-racism as a concept needs to be “presented repeatedly with deepening complexity and applications” as pupils progress through school, while any curriculum reform should audit areas of strength and weakness.”
Use CfE review to 'embed anti-racist education into every stage'
Anti-racist education should not be ‘a bolt-on’ – it should be ‘presented repeatedly with deepening complexity’ as pupils progress through school

Rise and Fall: Great Empires that Shaped the World by Peter Allen is fascinating. It explores nine ancient civilisations (Minoan, Kamakura Shogunate, Kingdom of Benin, etc), what made them great, their culture and society, and what caused their decline. I read it from cover to cover. Ideal for Y5/6.

If as a member of a structurally oppressed group you hold views convenient to those with actual power, the oppressors, they promote you. We all know it happens.
I see The Times, a newspaper with a White editor, a White owner, and which published this, is lecturing Dawn Butler, a Black woman, about racism.
