Calling someone "unemployed" or "jobless" as a means to deflect criticism has always been a shitty and chiefly classist tactic, but with the job market the way it is right now, it makes less sense than ever.

I wish that it wasn't an impulse to think in this way when reading news like this, but we're seeing a really alarming lurch to the right and stories (I use that word deliberately) have a potency that we currently seem unable to meaningfully combat. 4/4

Whatever the motivation of this attack, the fact remains that immigrants are NOT a danger to us, and rather are exploited for our benefit. "Native" citizens commit more crimes & violent acts, but the narrative that immigrants are somehow a threat is so resistant to objective truth and morality. 3/4

Germany's elections are swiftly approaching, and we've already seen them struggling to fend off the far-right's racist, anti-immigrant rhetoric, much like many Western nations. 2/4

My heart goes out to the victims in Germany. I hope they recover swiftly. But I can't deny that I felt dread reading that the perpetrator has been said to be an "Afghan man" because I know already what the story will become. 1/4

The way leftists/progressives are being sacrificed by Labour to court bigots that will never care about what they say and will only be emboldened by condoning their views is legitimately concerning. The USA should be a warning, not a blueprint.

Saying Jack Smith "targeted President Trump" is blatantly misstating the situation. Trump was charged as a citizen. He committed the crimes as a citizen. They think people are stupid.

We need politicians talking about what immigrants bring to our countries. About their humanity. Showing people the truth. Not making things worse by promising to be "harder on immigration" to appease bigots who will always be emboldened by this pandering

You're the one that needs to do something! Strong statements and stern words do not meet this moment. Elon has the private information of your citizens. He is cancelling funding based on nutters on X. Is that not worth some urgency?
