And this is what they really stand for, Trump and his idiot cronies trying to label any of their detractors as terrorists. It's insane.

Antifa is determined to prove Trumps accusations baseless my using the best weapon there is: public silliness.
People are doing many things in Ukraine, a literal war zone. I guarantee dressing in inflatable costumes for public fuckery isn't one of them, seeing as they want to survive and stuff.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.
Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

John Archer was the first Black man to hold senior public office in London when he was elected Mayor of Battersea in 1913.
Black History Month is about rediscovering our history, the stories of Londoners like John Archer and paying tribute to those who came before us.

In all sorts of contexts, I reckon debating terminology can feel like a way of (a) deferring the difficult work; and (b) trying to make something bad, sad, or nasty sound more palatable. Words matter. Language is important. But they're not magic, and cannot fix society on their own.

“The changing of names in order to destigmatise these conditions has been done for a very long time... And in my opinion, it doesn't work... because history suggests that sanitising a name only works for as long as people don't know what that new name means.”
