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:
news:
instagram
@ theblack.project
@ ukisnotinnocent
@ fight_for_a_future
@ lgsmigrants
@ migrantsorganise
@ monitoringgroupne_n
@ copwatch_brighton

support:
websites
Amina, Muslim Womens' Resource Centre
Hope Not Hate safety resources
instagram
@ aimlessgallery (latex clothing business offering financial assistance if you message them)
twitter
@ FranckMagennis (barrister, if you encounter legal problems from counterprotesting he says to reach out to him to get lawyer help. Franck has been a frequent pro-palestine voice and calling out police during protests)

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

every time white supremacy, fascism, etc, rear their ugly head in a way that forces comfy white people to acknowledge its existence, 5 thousand new posts from socmed activist white people appear, all of these just making fun of the intelligence, education, etc, of the white supremacists(etc). I Was Literally Just Talking About This

this rhetoric is CLOWN SHIT,

  1. Absolves responsibility from the fash who are usually the driving forces of domestic terrorism and white supremacy -- the suits in government, who are well-dressed and articulate and polite, and who have the power & money to legitimize and grow fascist movements. like damn ok the implication is that education makes u not racist? Have you spoken to like Any white academic, because ??????
  2. Absolves you of responsibility, because believing that there is some specific difference between you and them (that you are smart and they are not; that you pay attention and they do not; that you are educated and they are not) means you do not recognize your capacity to be like them. you can't just say I'm Not Like Them, Don't Group Me In With Them! (looking at you, cohost dot org), not-being-like-them is a continuous process of self-reflection, change, and action and ANYONE, INCLUDING ME AND YOU, including us with degrees and a library of theory under our belts, can easily become part of the problem. if we aren't already part of it.
  3. Ableist of course. AND racist. things like education, IQ, etc, are linked to race, the people who are most deprived of education and score lower on IQ tests (because IQ is bullshit) are usually POC . Blaming Problems On The Uneducated And Insane is a textbook racist talking point, youre really going to fucking do that right now? While saying youre antiracist?

even with the acknowledgement that education can help provide people with the tools for critical thinking, analytical & syntopical reading, so on, as well as providing increased availability to better pay,

education does not provide perfect immunity to falling for conspiracy theories, white supremacy, and so on ...

lack of education doesn't appear out of nowhere ... who is responsible for the failings of the education system? who benefits? who makes the laws & policy?

from insta @ realedin , recommend following them, groups>individuals in terms of being around to give updates, info sourced from Scottish Defense Group on tiktok

Calls for potential violent racism Glasgow and East Kilbride this saturday (10th) -- Scottish Defense Group appearing to be gauging potential for action in Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, Falkirk .

We keep us safe -- Reach out to your community & ensure the most vulnerable are accounted for & protected. Even if the risk isn't manifest (e.g. no planned "protests") use the time to get organized
