very very moving work in the UK tonight. people out in the streets in the thousands, completely fucking over planned fash riots. seen videos of like 1 nazi surrounded on all sides, screenshots of the alt right telegram chats "lads be careful we are outnumbered"
seeing this and learning more about bangladesh . Very encouraging.

in all cases, not a complete victory. Incredible things accomplished but work isnt finished. The underlying imbalances remain. In UK, this is already apparent: 5years in prison for climate activists planning a possible nonviolent disruption, vs 2months in prison for one of the nazi rioters. the systems enabling this shit remain in place. Mainstream praising the police for work they didnt do.

but fuck if it aint good to see proof! We keep us safe.
The oppressive systems here are international, folks like Trump and Biden and Elon Musk and Netanyahu and Hasina and Modi and Zuckerberg and Starmer and Farage and John Hagee and (others), they all share their money and resources and the lives of the people they oppress,
but they are few and we are many, and promises of a better life they use to sway people to their side are hollow.

Keep the momentum,

The trauma and pain and loss of life seen in the UK cannot be undone, and must not be allowed to happen again, and the horrors that continue -- like the funding of Israel's genocide against Palestinians -- must be stopped.

the work continues, and there are people asking for help,
Black & POC Rage, Rest & Recharge Events - Fundraising by Dope Black Queers to create a space in response to the UK hate riots & lynchings

There is more love in the world than we know



Shout out to everyone at the counter-protests. Very few fash showed up in most places, and were vastly outnumbered. There was an incident at the one I attended where a racist started squaring up with a black guy, and both got arrested. Thankfully the crowd pressured the police to release the black guy (with chants like Give Him Back) and we successfully got him de-arrested and released!

It's heavily likely that a lot of the 100+ announced attacks were decoys or testing public & police response. That, or the fash got intimidated by the numbers. But I think one of the first is more likely.

However, showing up was not useless! Sending a message in every area that we will not tolerate racist attacks and that we will protect our community. If you can, please turn up to the day of counter-protests on Saturday. Check out the green and black cross website for advice (especially legal advice) to stay safe during protests & counter-protests.

i have UK connections and timezone overlap why I post info when I can. rn exhausted & family, friends having too close of calls. Therefore cannot guarantee I'll be giving updates as fast as is needed. I dont want people to miss out on info because of me. will still be updating when I can & donating

unfortunately, most info Ive seen is via Meta socmedia, often shadowbanned too. Also, many protests w/ heavy SWP presence (Stand Up To Racism / SUtR) , so some actions may need further organizing.

but accounts keeping up with things that arent SWP:

Stay safe, friends.
White folks, if youre not in the streets counterprotesting (not in UK, disability, etc), now offer money, assistance, & emotional support as much as we can ... donate(in all ways) till it hurts.
continue donations to all things list here from @ black-final-boi pretty good , all this horror is interlinked, if you burnout from fighting directly step back and provide care&resources
