Pada tahun 1946, Parti Kebangsaan Melayu Malaya (PKMM) yang dianggotai Dr. Burhanuddin Al-Helmy/Boestamam tidak hanya melaungkan "no racism/fascism". Mereka membuat keputusan keluar dari UMNO setelah sedar UMNO hanya ingin mempertahankan kepentingan golongan aristokrat/British.

A THREAD/ So Ku Li has proposed that the concept of Malay citizenship be revived. It’s noteworthy that this concept is not new-it was embodied in the People’s Constitutional Proposals for Malaya drafted by PUTERA-AMCJA in 1947. The proposals were outright rejected by the British.

Dear journalists, Adelina Sao was a domestic worker. A domestic worker whose labour had dignity. Domestic worker. Pekerja domestik. Use these words. Normalize these words. She was dehumanized when she was alive. Let’s stop dehumanizing her in death. #JusticeForAdelina

Menggunakan gambar Malcolm X sambil menyebarkan kebencian atas dasar agama adalah satu penghinaan. Jelas tuan punya ciapan tidak kenal siapa sahabat2 Malcolm X - jika dia kenal pasti Malcolm X dilabel sesat lagi menyesatkan. Peringatan buat kita: carilah ilmu buat mencerah jiwa.

Seorang yang memanggil diri beragama tetapi penuh kebencian tak ubah seperti golongan zalim Mekah yang memaksa nabi lari ke Madinah. Pelarian di Malaysia tidak punya hak - tiada hak rasmi bekerja, bersekolah, dianggap sebagai “pendatang haram” di bawah undang2 imigresen.

We must also ensure the legal immigrants PADi take all precautionary measures & have good personal hygiene. Employers must address their cramped housing.

Pause? This is what happens when your politics are fuelled by nothing but rhetoric/performativity. Assata Shakur's words come to mind: “Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.”

“Why are we stuck with the lesser of two evils?” This question can be answered by thinking about how people/organisations that scream that they want change actively enable and sanitise (birthday wishes, interviews, compromises) the evils of the ruling class.

Usman Awang tentang kemiskinan: "Sungguh menyedihkan bahawa dalam sebuah negara yang kaya-raya hasil buminya, rakyatnya kaya dengan kemiskinan. Sungguh menyedihkan bahawa kawasan luar bandar masih mundur, sekolah-sekolah serba kekurangan, murid-murid serba ketiadaan".

It's disheartening to see people from formerly colonised nations make fun of their people for "incorrectly" pronouncing certain English words. This shows how deeply ingrained the perception that the coloniser's language is superior/a marker of intelligence/civilisation.
