The wave of racist attacks taking place around the UK is, in part, the consequence of right-wing billionaires acquiring control of social media. After Elon Musk bought Twitter, he reinstated the accounts of Tommy Robinson and many other fascists. One of Tommy Robinson's key henchmen posted the video that contributed to setting off this wave of attacks. Musk has continued to stoke the fires.

While liberals may respond by calling for more crackdowns on "extremism" on social media, such crackdowns would inevitably target the anti-fascists who represent the last line of defense against despotism. Instead, let's start by asking what it is that billionaires like Elon Musk stand to gain from scapegoating immigrants and promoting civil war, then consider what it will take to stop them.

Nigerians have taken to the streets against the decadent ruling elite and the crushing poverty they are enduring. State forces launched teargas, live bullets, and hot water at protesters. A curfew was implemented in the northern states of Kano and Yobe. Amnesty International reported that 13 protesters were killed and 300 were arrested.

The protests come on the heels of uprisings in Kenya and Uganda, who have protested similar issues. In Nigeria, food inflation is at 40% and according to the UN, 32 million people across Nigeria are starving. Nigerians cannot afford fuel despite the country being one of the largest oil exporting countries in the world.

10 days of protests have been organized under the slogan “End Bad Governance in Nigeria.” The organizers have stressed that these issues cut across ethnic, tribal, and religious lines, stating, “we are not slaves.”

For those who won't listen to a trans woman about this kind of stuff, I think this dude puts this one pretty well. I don't really care about sports but go figure, another cis woman in sports that transphobes claim to be trans to push their hateful agenda.
