An idea: what if everyone who is angered by Elon Musk and Twitter's role in hate-crime deactivated their accounts for 24 hours on an agreed date? Say... Friday August 9th. Or every Friday. And what would it do to the company's value? RT if interested. #twittershutdown

A huge united community response in Newcastle’s West End against the far right. ✊🏽

Some of you are using todays events to do the “haha can’t believe you lot are soo gullible” thing, in order to feel better/more intelligent than others As if seeing the sort of solidarity displayed today isn’t somewhat reassuring for many people across the country

Solidarity, unity and strength in Newcastle tonight from hundreds upon hundreds of defiant citizens unwilling to tolerate Fascism in our beloved city!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 HOPE NOT HATE!! ✊🏽❤️ #Nopasaran

Over 100 people killed, mostly women and children. At a school. Massacred. How is there no arms embargo on Israel? How do the people who express horror and revulsion when Putin and Assad do this sit silently by as Netanyahu does it? Don’t look away:

There's never been a better time to start a cult.
