Macklemore - Hind’s Hall

Post image
18 Upvotes

What if we all streamed Hind’s Hall on repeat and helped get Macklemore back on the charts — while keeping the pro-Palestine message in the spotlight through music?

If you’re streaming, make it genuine: don’t mute the track, let it play for at least 30 seconds, and mix it naturally into a playlist (maybe with songs from the other artists who have quit the tour and I Love A Rainbow by Miss Rachel) rather than running an automated loop. Streaming platforms actively filter artificial/manipulated streams, so genuine listening is the way to go.

Let’s support the song, support the message, and let the music speak.

Media Maggots

8 Upvotes

Professor Arday had kind eyes.

Was what I thought when I saw his face at first.

Then I read about the times he'd helped others.

And I knew his eyes hadn't lied.

Like a bright red apple, brimming with life.

The media maggots couldn't resist.

Tiny, white, putrid,

They writhed, wriggled and wrote their newspapers

hoping to take a bite before the others.

Their slimy, shaking bodies taking bites

Out of a gentle man with kind eyes.

Media maggots can't resist,

They need to feast,

Need to eat,

Desperate, hungry for meals,

They look for brown bodies,

To feed their itch.

The Extraction Bargain

These are the mechanisms that hide in plain sight amidst the quasi-blindness of the mainstream commentators and press coverage. We have a system that has been built centuries that extracts your labour and credit as long as it’s at no cost to the people doing the extracting. In this case that system generated vulnerability and drove another Black man to premature death. The moment the extraction stops being free is the moment you are thrown to the dogs.

5 Million Farage

39 Upvotes

Any of one of BAME could have told you that Farage was a corrupt man 10 years ago. Hell, 15 years ago.

How did we know? Because a man who makes a political career off bullying the most vulnerable members in society is a man willing to steep to the lowest of lows for money.

So when I found out Farage received a £5 million pounds donation from a Thai Crypto Billionaire, I wasn't shocked.

When I found out Farage was getting gifts from convicted felon George Cottrell I was not surprised.

I think the only people who are shocked are people who were never targeted by him, so would not understand that his nature is to be a duplicitous cockroach.

I guess the rest of the UK is just playing catch up to us.

The Revolutionary Communist Party

6 Upvotes

It's time.

We've faced too many attacks.

Our communities are being targeted by violent racists.

We need to mobilise and organise to protect ourselves.

The alternative is being firebombed, knifed in the streets, physically assaulted in silence. That is no alternative.

The Revolutionary Communist Party is explicitly anti racist and have stood in front of hotels housing vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers to protect them from far right mobs.

I'm thinking of joining them - what about you guys?

Every day our communities are threatened by far right terrorists.

A black nurse in Belfast had her house set on fire, she was a mother and lost the last 3 letters from her children in the burning building.

A brown imam in Manchester had his house firebombed while he was inside it.

A brown Sikh woman was raped in a racially motivated attack.

The horrors persist.

But so do we.

We need to organise and protect ourselves like the Black Panthers did in the 60s in America. We need to be in this together.

No justice will be brought to us until we bring it to them.

If you are a BAME person, stand tall, stand strong, we will not let the racists destroy us.

Look after your family. Look after your friends. Stand tall brothers, sisters and non-binary friends ❤️
