Riots erupted last night in the working-class neighborhood of Harehills in the city of Leeds, UK. The local community attacked police, destroyed their cars and set fires in the area.

The incident began after police confiscated five Roma children from their family over alleged safety concerns. One of the children was admitted to a hospital with an injury.

The parents say that the injury was not due to mistreatment, and the rest of the local community quickly rallied against the authorities.

Harehills is one of the poorest areas of the country, hit hard by more than a decade of austerity measures. Roma communities have emphasized that their children are more likely than others to be separated by social services due to the discrimination they face.

Far-right accounts in the US and Europe immediately pounced on the situation, claiming that “Muslims” and “immigrants” were behind the clashes, and thereby whipping up racism.

3000 - three thousand - anti-racist counter protestors forming a barrier around the beacon centre in newcastle, holding signs saying ‘geordies are of all colours’.

£12,000 raised by a local resident in hartlepool who wanted to show appreciation to the mosque after it was targeted.

sunderland residents joining a mass clean up after the riots, many wearing safc football shirts as they swept up broken glass and helped board up broken windows.

hundreds of people gathering in middlesbrough at 7 in the morning and bringing cleaning equipment to share so they could put the town back how it should be.

white people standing shoulder to shoulder with their neighbours of colour, vicars and rabbis and imams standing together to condemn the violence, folks offering to walk people of colour home or accompany them on public transport if they feel unsafe alone.

this is what working class northern england looks like. this is who we are. racists and fascists are not welcome here. they do not define us.

the riots are terrible. the people participating in them are scum. but do not write off my entire community as ‘stupid racist northeners in shitty post industrial towns’ when we are doing all we can and proving that that could not be further from the truth

All the hate, making Arcane canon lore is the WORST thing to ever happen and I'm genuinely pissed every time I contemplating playing LOL (and not just because I'm always stuck playing Jungle).

Viktor the Machine Herald is an unhinged evilutionary mad scientist who is less "unrepentant evil" and more "pro human transhuman who means well." His fixation on saving people from suffering and pushing forward human evolution is legit why he becomes "evil" and yet he does in fact do a lot of good in Zaun (like making working in factories SAFE - and yes, that's a big deal). Dude gets CONSENT, ignores the cult that worships him, and saved way more people than he condemned (because Zaun sucks).

Viktor, Herald of the Arcane, isn't nearly as unhinged and that was fine by me when he wasn't canon. However, he is SO removed from Zaun that it's easy to forget he's from there. He has no interest in human evolution, just in saving himself. And then we get the "evolution" and he needs HELP FROM SINGED!? He makes his cult?

Og Viktor fixed his own damn problems, he is self-made LITERALLY. Arcane Viktor just gets magic from the hexcore and he doesn't build things, it just HAPPENS. The hexcore evolves him, nothing of his own will and actions! Arcane Viktor is legit a generic mage.

"This is deliberate, glorious evolution" vs "Eh, glorious evolution just happens"

It isn't a "rework," it's a "retcon" and I freaking HATE it. Arcane Viktor should've been a legendary SKIN and nothing else.

Like, Arcane Jinx (season 1) as canon would make sense, same with Vi (season 1) and maybe even Caitlyn (season 2 because the beach party skin "likes to shoot people").

But LoL Viktor and Arcane Viktor legit have one thing in common - their names.

Besides that, Viktor didn't NEED a rework! Give him a visual update and move his story forward, rework Blitzcrank, work with the OG lore instead of ruining it all. Arcane being canon legit ERASES Blitzcrank from existence alongside all of Viktor's influence in Zaun. Glorious evolution legit SAVED LIVES! Bring back my Viktor!

"How much are you willing to pay for clean air?" My professor says rhetorically, discussing economic development and its relationship with the environment and human life, and as my brain is still stuck on arcane against my will i can't help but think about the kirammans apparently building a vent system for zaun but not doing shit about the industrialization that made the Gray in the first place, and then caitlyn using the vents to release that deadly gas in her hunt for what she knows is a deeply disturbed teenager + the gangs that ran the undercity, with no mention of the deal jayce made with silco a season before, nothing about how the gas weapon manhunt affected zaun. Cait gets to go back to her big fancy house as a like tragic hero or whatever with her mom buried in a grave she can still visit and her dad still alive and a girlfriend who'll go down on her no problem despite losing her entire family and turning her back on the home she used to do anything and everything to protect. No sign of remorse not a hint of reparations or doing anything about the stranglehold piltover has on zaun. Gee golly it sure is a mystery why so many people would be put off by this story, riot games company based in california usa with mostly white people in charge

There's no way some fans on twitter are saying Silco deserved to be drowned/murdered because he threw a molotov (at enforcers who were arresting Benzo at a RIOT no less). There's actual wrong doings you can focus on, my goodness, and non were done before the drowning. Some arcane fans think they're really progressive because they like the lesbian couple and then turn around and say they should have just co operated with Piltover 😭

February 2, 2025 - Panamanian trade unions and social movements protested the visit of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Panama.

Rubio’s visit comes after repeated threats by US President Donald Trump to seize the canal by force. The people of Panama demand respect for their country’s sovereignty and have demanded that President José Raúl Mulino not cede to US threats. [video]

[ravenkinnie]

something about mels arc doesn't click for me and the fact that that crazy silco girl on twitter said she liked it probably means I should rewatch s2 to decide why

[bostoncreamdonut]

This past August and after a horrific stabbing attack that left three children dead, fascists incited racist mobs in the UK to riot, leading to widespread violence, injuries, and the destruction of mosques, refugee shelters, and homes across the country. In response, anti-fascist groups mobilized to defend their communities, including one asylum seeker who joined a counter-protest to confront the bigots, who then pelted him and his friends with rocks & other objects. When he threw back a projectile in self-defence, the coppers waved in, arresting him! Now our friend is serving a prison sentence of several months! To support him, The International Defence Fund helped cover his rent to prevent homelessness upon his release, underscoring the community's solidarity.

On March 16, 1991 Latasha Harlin’s short life came to a violent end in the midst of racial tensions in LA, and became a major spark for the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. By the late 1980s, racial tensions were high in South Los Angeles. After the change in national immigration laws in 1965 a large number of Korean immigrants arrived in Los Angeles and by 1968 the first Korean-owned market opened in South Central LA. Longtime African American residents in the area at first welcomed the Koreans but eventually grew angry with them because they refused to hire black employees and often treated their customers poorly. By 1990, 65% of South Central businesses were Korean-owned and a 1992 survey of these storeowners revealed considerable racial prejudice against black customers and black people in general. Koreans in response argued that their attitudes evolved from high crime rates in the area and shop owner fears of shootings and burglaries. Latasha Harlins became a victim of these racial tensions on the morning of Saturday, March 16, 1991. She entered a store owned by a Korean family, to purchase a bottle of orange juice. As she approached the counter, Soon Ja Du, accused her of stealing after seeing her place the bottle in her backpack, despite her holding the $2 payment approaching the counter to pay. Du grabbed the bag and the two women had a violent scuffle. Harlins threw the juice bottle back on the counter and turned to leave the store when Du pulled a .38-caliber handgun and shot 15-year-old Harlins in the back of the head. Du was arrested and her trial was held on November 15, 1991. Security-camera footage which showed Harlins’ attempt to pay for the juice and the subsequent scuffle between the two women convinced a jury to find Du guilty of voluntary manslaughter. The Judge, Joyce Karlin, rejected the jury’s recommendation and instead sentenced Du to five years probation, 400 hours of community service, and a $500 fine.

One of the many reasons black people don't f*** with Asians like that and we should collectively drive them out of our neighborhoods
