So tell me why I got pulled aside and ESCORTED to wardrobe w/ a body cam for wearing a Palestine solidarity scarf at @Hozier โ€™s concert? Not even a kiffiyeh, just a Free Palestine scarf that I *literally* wear everywhere as a show of solidarity AND BECAUSE IT IS FUCKING COLD!

We have a video and I will post it soon. In the meantime, @Hozier the arena insisted it was your team who demanded this. This is a shameful stance in the middle of a genocide. I paid for this ticket expecting a show which is politically aware, not this absolute cowardly clownery.

They then proceeded to tell me they are taking my scarf for my own protection as I might get โ€œhate crimedโ€ for wearing it. One of the security staff doing this told me they are Arab, and told me he didnโ€™t like doing it, while doing it calling for more security on me. LOVELY ๐Ÿฅฐ

On this day in 2003, Baghdad fell to the American army. A corrupt, bloody military regime was replaced with sectarian bandits who looted themselves rich(er) while ordinary people paid for neoliberalism and colonialism in blood.

On #AntiRacismDay , we remember two young black men - Mohamud and Mouayed - whose lives were cut short by a racist police force. Today, the streets have been filled with their names and stories.

@EmmaLNye Find it highly amusing that paying Hondo thousands in grants and in rent subsidies to keep the money sucking atrocity Pop Brixton open is not seen as a waste of tax payer money but one little graffiti is seen as the height of waste. Spare us the pearl clutching please!

Youโ€™d think someone as wealthy as Taylor McWilliams would have the money to pay folks to do this work. Instead, they steal the labour of community organisers to mark their own homework. Gentrifiers gonna gentrify I guess ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘€ Updates to Hondoโ€™s application contain point for point responses to Tsiresyโ€™s work? The application should be thrown out! Taylor is being handheld through the process, while weโ€™ve been given the wrong address by @MayorofLondon to send objections toโ€” you canโ€™t make it up ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

@IraqiSecurity Iโ€™m moslawi & 100% agree with you. The victim mentality, the inability to take in how Sunnis systematically benefited under the Baโ€™ath regime. The absolute hubris, racist mentality & misinformation backed by so called Islamic scholars - Mosul was besieged a long time ago...

EVICTION ALERT! Taylor McWilliams is trying to kick out Phil's Fruit + Veg, which has been part of Brixton Market for 20 years! Look as this appalling email from Hondo and see just how little they think of their tenants- their tenants who make all their profit for them. [1/

Shame on Lambeth Council for this decision tonight. 7000 person petition ignored. 800 messages to planning officers ignored. 1200 objections ignored. They have just approved a 20 storey office block in the middle of a pandemic. Taylor McWilliams has taken over Lambeth Council.

I long for the day Western pundits stop using Baghdad as the go to word for hell on Earth. Newsflash - it was only in that state because of your quest for cheap oil. My people donโ€™t deserve to live in perpetual violence, metaphorical or not, so you can keep being orientalist โœจ
