#BlackLivesMatter is global. Clearly Bolsanaro’s Brazil is a bastion of white supremacist fascism as well as climate change and Covid denialism. Let us remember Kathlen Romeu’s name alongside all the other victims of violent injustice at the hands of racist police @BLMScotland

If @policescotland turned up charging directors with a breach of the peace then they need to get a grip, free speech is still protected & especially political speech in this shop window & being able to criticise police is still lawful & fundamentally important in a democracy
Join us at Holyrood in a couple of hours! Black Lives STILL Matter in Scotland, one year after the protests! #BLM
A year after BLM protests across Scotland, what has changed? This Sunday join us at Holyrood Park 3 - 5pm.

A truly poignant vigil started at 9.28am to mark 9 minutes 28 seconds of Chauvin’s knee murdering George Floyd. To call out institutionalised racism in Scotland we remember & honour him, Sheku Bayoh & all victims of state racist violence @BlackLivesMatter @BLMScotland

On Eid a Home Office dawn raid targets an International Protection Applicant’s home. 15yrs on from Glasgow mass anti-dawn raid protests - this is an affront to the people of Scotland who welcome refugees but face UK Govt hostile environment. @policescotland must stop assisting!
Immigration raid now in Pollokshields. On Eid
This is not okay.
The 'no racists no fascists welcome here' message has to extend to the racist UK border regime.

As @policescotland call for reinforcements, I ask are you insane? are you trying to incite a riot on #eid on a day the whole community is at home? What to help a cynical immigration enforcement raid?-is this your community policing? 🏴 @CC_Livingstone

Immigration Enforcement trying to detain people and community are attempting to resist. Cops been drafted in to support. Resist! Get down to Pollokshields Kenmure Street Glasgow right now if you can.
BLM Scotland Official retweeted
At Kenmure Street now. Two men now being held in the immigration van which has been surrounded.
Chants of “let them go” from the near 100 protesters here.

“Officers were lying on top of #ShekuBayoh for about 5 mins, I heard him screaming, it sent chills through me, I heard him shout to get off him, they never moved” he was restrained by up to 6 officers, until he stopped breathing in Kirkcaldy3May2015 🏴 #NoJusticeNoPeace
