Canal St raid happening now - Canal & Lafayette

"While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free"

Eugene V Debs

A poster that says Did you see: -a tent in the woods? -someone shoplifting? -a person sleeping in their car? NO YOU FUCKING DIDNT people are struggling don't make it worse

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

Ok, this fucking rocks. Everyone should be able to use the bathroom when they're out and about.

And if you're at a protest and things start to get too scary, listen to your own gut.

Don't do things just because some stranger or some "leader" with a megaphone gives an order.

You feel sketched out? Don't do it. Don't march into that tunnel. Don't kneel in front of cops. Just bug out.

In other words, just grab a couple cheap protective items, find a protest buddy, look like a normy, and show up.

Most of the time you'll be able to see where the action is, and you can choose how close to the line of fire you want to get.

You'll know where to stand based on your risk tolerance.

This Sunday, 12pm @the Brian Clough Sunday, 12pm Statue. Nottingham Against Transphobia will protest the naked prejudice of the Supreme Court

we need to be saying again and again and again that even if 100% of these people had a criminal record none of this would be okay. people who are criminalized are humans and deserve human rights. people are systematically criminalized based solely on the color of their skin, poverty, language etc

This man attempted to put someone in a headlock at today's Nottingham anti-trans rally.

Get in touch if you know who this is or have any photos of him so we can stay safe and keep an eye out for him in future.

Please share.

Join us at our protest against arch transphobe Kellie Jay Keen this coming Saturday!

We're meeting at 12:30pm at Speakers Corner but will adjust our plans if we find out she is gathering elsewhere

Transphobia isn't welcome in Nottingham, join us and make sure your voice is heard! 🏳️‍⚧️✊

One feature I would like Bluesky to add:

Please let me block someone directly from their post

I don't want to have to go to the profiles of a dozen bigots in a row when I stumble across a gaggle of Twitter interlopers getting their jokes off

Well, their one joke. Ain't like they got jokes plural
