My dad fought in the war and he wasn't a racist. My late mother was a teenager and dedicated her life to helping refugees. My cousin is in her 80s and "fucking hates racists". You don't get a get out of racist jail free card simply for being old and having happened to have lived during a war.
The grief that dare not speak
its name: It's only whispered for
fear of accusations of racism.
But the pain and bewilderment
felt by the generation who lived
through war at how mass
immigration has transformed the
Britain they fought for is very
real

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

Why? Because the combination of Putin in the Kremlin and Trump in the White House means that the world we have relied on since the 1940s is gone. Our ”normal” is over. It takes me zero pleasure to say this. I have always thought of myself as an Atlanticist. I don’t want this.
