. If you have a problem with people speaking out about racism then you are a PART of the problem. Black voices shouldn’t be silenced because you’re not comfortable acknowledging their struggles. Bye 👋
👏 Practice 👏 social 👏 distancing 👏
Stop going to crowded public spaces, stop forming tight queues, stop treating this like a joke, because at this rate the punchline is going to be the deaths of the people you care about.
The world is a terrifying, but as a white person I will never have to go through the fear, terror & systematic oppression that my POC counterparts will. This is the time to be angry, but more importantly to support & amplify and voices of the black communities.

And if you’re tired of seeing this on your timeline, just imagine how tired the black communities are of being murdered, judged, and persecuted for the colour of their skin. If you have the privilege of being tired of seeing this, be a part of the solution.

Today we sign back in to say

and to encourage all of you to do your part and sign the petition for a black woman, an EMT, who was murdered in her own home when the police entered the WRONG HOUSE.

We don't use this account very often anymore, but let us make something very clear. 1. Rishi Sunak is raising this topic as smoke and mirrors to cover the absolute cesspit that is the Tory party. 2. Trans people are not the problem and have never been the fucking problem.
'We shouldn't be bullied into believing people can be any sex they want to be, they can't. A man is a man and a woman is a woman', says Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Since you asked, we openly denounce all acts of terrorism. However to deem Palestine and Hamas synonymous and to disregard the role the Israeli government has played in oppressing, bombing, and torturing innocent civilians for decades is ignorance.
A final clarification: Nothing in our tweets says that either party deserves this. Innocent civilians never deserve the atrocities committed against them. Insane that we have to reiterate it. It is, however, criminal how many tweets are absolutely fine with Gaza being destroyed.
Civilians in Israel do not deserve to be tortured and excuded. It is the horrific consequence of the regime they live under. These acts of terror are heinous, but so are the decades of abuse, torture, and murder that the citizens of Palestine have lived under.
A reminder that we are witnessing a genocide, not a war. Politicians & Leaders across the 'West' endorsed and supported this.
This is not (and has never been) 'self-defense', especially not when it comes to one of the most sophisticated and established regimes in the world.
Truly, what more does the world have to see to comprehend that the indiscriminate bombing of civilians is wrong? That children, women, men, innocent people are being obliterated for the crime of being Palestinian. There's no safe zone, no safe space, nowhere to go from the bombs.
Making excuses for celebrities not speaking out because 'something could happen to them' is actually comical. Something is happening to every civilian living in a tent in Rafah and has been 7 months now. Enough is beyond enough.
Look out for your Muslim friends. Look out for your Jewish friends. Research the history of these areas and educate yourselves beyond Twitter, Celebrity Insta posts, and Western media.

Doesn't really need a detective to pick up on the fact that the British Press is abhorrently racist. The prejudices are thinly-veiled by the media at best.
