Had a lovely conversation with a group of ten year olds about objectivity vs subjectivity in art. They listened to each other and contributed. Good times

The abolition of the two child benefit cap will benefit so many families in my city alone. But people are up in arms because it’ll also benefit black and brown families. “I’d rather stay in poverty if it keeps people of colour poor too”. You can’t make this shit up.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>On 27 September, I woke up at 5.10am in my apartment in <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/turkey" target="_blank">Turkey</a>, feeling suffocated and thirsty.</p>
<p>I was uneasy for no clear reason. I reached for my phone to read the latest updates from <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/israel-genocide-gaza" target="_blank">Gaza</a>. I saw a message in my town's news-sharing group in Gaza that an <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israeli</a> air strike had targeted my family's home.</p>
<p>I texted my brother, Abood, but the message did not go through. Moments later, my mother, who now lives near me in Turkey, called. Her voice trembled with fear as she asked whether I had read the news. I walked straight out of my apartment and down the road to her house.</p>
<p>My heart froze, and my chest felt heavy. I refused to believe that my worst nightmare during the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/israel-genocide-gaza" target="_blank">Gaza genocide</a> had become real, but the feeling of suffocation would not go away.</p>
<p>On the way, I called a friend in Gaza. Together, we managed to reach my sister, Sarah. That small victory gave me hope that my family had survived.</p>

I see what’s happening in UK from afar - it’s not good. Too many plastic “patriots” who are frankly pure racists in my opinion. Raising flags without actually believing in those flags and don’t really know what a flag is representing. Painting roundabouts, shouting at hotels, bullying strangers, etc

Very proud of all Worcester city councillors who stood against racism and division tonight, and who pledged to continue to do so.

Both white and ethnic minority adults view the surge in flags being put up on lampposts and bridges in towns in the UK as "anti migrant."

This is one example out of dozens - “how DARE the BBC put black people on MY TV!?” Then they get mad when you call them what they are - racist, fascist, white supremacist, thick-as-shit, incestuous scum

My city is home to 105,000 people. Local fascist/racist flag group has 3.2k members. Ignoring that most members aren’t resident, even adding in the handful of people who wave at them in the street, that’s less than 1/20th. But if you were to tell them that, they’d confidently exclaim “yeah! 20%!”

Update: guy who set up the facebook group has now quit because this woman is too unhinged for even his racist, confrontational ass. She’s trying to downplay it and say he has other things to focus on but it’s clear the whole thing is falling apart 👏🏽
Local racist/flag shagger/lunatic is now filming herself phoning a city councillor and threatening him (after accosting someone else in person). Same racist who made up a story about brown people asking for a “wank off” and ALWAYS!!! WRITES!!! LIKE!!!!! THIS!!!!! She’d be dangerous if she was clever
