We organise discussions & create informative content around colonialism, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism in order to raise awareness about the impacts of imperialism in the world. UK based. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🍉✊🏿✊🏼✊🏽
Likely and tragically, more than there should be. The cult of MAGA, continues to believe every word this Administration sells and gaslights.
Even in these increasingly dire times, complete devotion to their exalted leader is expected.
US 'liberation' consistently is about the interests of the US. Period.
While, actual 'freedom' for states and communities is an afterthought.

We want to *AGAIN* remind whomever is training/bootlicking/authorising/validating the choices of the orange dictator-in-training, it's February.
It.
Is.
February.
And wayyy too many of us are already tired 🤦🏿♀️

This isn't going to end well.
We hope it will.
We hope the people of Iran's choices will be respected and supported by ALL its leaders and invaders.
We hope the cost of this bombardment, isn't more devastation and death.
We will continue to hope and stand in solidarity with all living in Iran.

'We represent *REAL* Brits. We're the party of the workers 😃'
A persistent joke.
Local social care funds will likely be effected, as if they weren't squeezed enough.
“I am, by the way, the least racist president you’ve had in a long time,”
Donald J. Trump said this with his chest...
The levels of delusion Trump and his minions exhibit, are both hilarious and terrifying 😃
#Trump #MAGA #Racism #BarackObama #MichelleObama #TrumpIsRacist #USA
With our politicians, centre, right & far right media, social media platforms lapping at *ANY* opportunity to please Trump, not paying attention would be WILD 😮💨

Why do WE focus so much on the US?
The amount of influence and control the US has over most nations has never in recent history, been so worryingly clear.

Will this lead to any change? Nope.
However, it may ruffle some Republicans and Tories, who prefer to *hint* at their racism and internalised bias.

Anyone else feel like this was a test? A chance to see just much of his white supremacist heart could be revealed, before backlash and push back.

As if he didn't use this to further his myth of a cabolt of 'elites'... As if he wasn't an 'elite'... 🙃
Has he actually met the victims and survivors? Used his platform?
Or is he bored of exploiting their trauma and pain?? 🤔

We stand in solidarity with all those protesting✊🏽 Please keep safe! UKIP are planning to delight everyone with their bigoted presence 😒
Although, we can't march we shall continue engage, rage, and inform.

Even if it means bulldozing UNRWAN headquarters and schools.
Or murdering children and adults: within the LAST 24 HOURS.

The Israeli government is on a roll. *THEY* are leading the next phase of the 'ceasefire' and they are making sure everyone knows.

Today is the National Demonstration for Palestine👏🏿
The 'ceasefire' continues to be violated. Palestinians are living in deplorable conditions, while being displaced over and over again.

One thing that is constantly not mentioned is the cultural genocide of Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities.
So many countries claim to prioritise human rights, but when action is needed...Crickets...
...But if the region had natural resources😒

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2026.
We are called in 2026's theme: 'Bridging Generations', to educate ourselves and never forget this repugnant part of human history.
We stand in reflection and acknowledgement: this is ALL of our responsibility.

The 'stupidity' was not respecting or listening to the wishes of the Chagossians. Instead prioritising protecting the 'partnership' with the #US at #DiegoGarcia.
If this doesn't tell #Starmer how woeful a 'partner' the US is...Then nothing will.
#Trump has given #Reform & #Tories a slam dunk 🤦🏿♀️

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.
' #X is structured to humiliate and bully out marginalised voices. This is how #WhiteSupremacy operates in practice. So it is less a platform for #FreeSpeech than a stage for white male voices...'
Powerful exploration of this growing and PREVENTABLE horror.

3rd day of 2026 🙃
We stand with the people of Venezuela. Their voices and theirs alone should be the one's listened to.
Not an orange man-baby 🤡
American 'liberation' is *NEVER* free or selfless. Greed is *ALWAYS* at its core.
