"We are all anti-fascists!"

Drawing on the classic Italian chant, “Siamo tutti antifascisti,” this poster pushes back against the regime's efforts at intimidation and propaganda.

Here is the sticker on our bin, beautifully placed by my two year old daughter.

ICE shot and killed a man in the Chicago suburbs last week. In the days since, we've seen a laundry list of escalating violent behavior from the feds: reckless driving, destroyed property, dawn raids, intimidation and threats against reporters, witnesses assaulted and threatened with pepper spray.

Another Elbit weapons factory has been shut down after grassroots direct action.

This is a phenomenal victory in the fight to end British complicity in Israeli war crimes in Gaza — and exposes Starmer’s political proscription of Palestine Action.

Considering people seeking asylum living in hotels get less than a tenner per week, and those in other accommodation get less than 50 quid, this really is performative nonsense from the Home Office. People aren't buying fur coats and snowmobiles FFS. 1/

Dismal, depressing day.

And yet No10 will give a ready quote on some passing celeb fad.
No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today.

Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.

Free speech update. Local schoolchildren made a banner saying "Epping welcomes all except racists". The Homeland Party [their Norfolk organiser] says his members have taken and burnt it, sharing the image of burning the anti-racist message on social media, to emphasise their commitment to racism.

Why do ‘we’ look at thousands of people marching peacefully through the streets on London, week after week, and see a dangerous fifth column needing violent repression. Why do ‘we’ look at people trying to lynch foreigners and see a poorly-articulated cry for recognition from the state?
