The Venezuelan right wing’s attack on an Indigenous statue — a “spiritual symbol of Chavismo” — shows exactly what kind of violent racism US political elites and billionaires like Elon Musk support. This isn’t about an election. This is about bringing back the old colonial order.

My Twitter feed since Elon Musk took over

I’m disgusted but not shocked that politicians the in U.K. who labelled 10 months of peace pro-Palestinian protests as hateful, dangerous and intimidating are yet to use the same language to describe the destructive violence we’ve witnessed over the last few days.

No.

You can burn down libraries and loot shops and still be called “a protestor” if you’re pale enough.

Politicians are acting as if an election where they fought be be the most anti-migrant has no connection to subsequent race riots

This is a pogrom. Don't mince words. These are neo nazis attempting to murder innocent men women and children by setting a hotel on fire.

Ultimately, what those in power object to about pogroms is not the racism, it's the disorder. Imposing order, and not combating racism, will be the priority in response.

Together with my independent colleagues, I have written to the Home Secretary requesting an urgent meeting in light of the far-right riots. We must call out this violence for what it is: rampant Islamophobia.

still have this little memento from that time

Elon Musk's daughter should write his official biography.

Top cop Kier and the law and order party are using the far right pogroms to rehabilitate the image of the police which is in tatters after Sarah Everard, Nicole and Bibaa, BLM, the Casey Review, the NBPA statement. Community solidarity is defeating the far right, not police.
