Ya’ll, please don’t boycott/cancel/etc. as a form of protest unless the union calls for it. I appreciate the urge to ‘help,’ but this is one time when you really gotta follow the union’s lead. If you cancel/begin boycotting now and the union calls for a boycott later, it will be harder to tie you cancelling your Max/HBO to the union’s call for a boycott.
As far as I can tell right now, the union has not called for a boycott as of 1:44AM Pacific Time, 5/9/23.
May 13, 2021 - Immigration cops tried to arrest two men in Glasgow, Scotland, on the day of Eid. A huge crowd of locals in the area of Pollokshields, chanting “these are our neighbours, let them go!”, turned up and boxed the police van in for seven hours, withstanding attempts by police to break through the crowd, until the cops were forced to let the two men go.

WHAT A FUCKING RESULT!!!
This isn’t even the whole story - it gets so much better.
This was not a pre-planned event. The home office just showed up in the morning to take them. A neighbour tweeted asking for help and people mobilised and united entirely on their own. None of these people woke up today knowing this is what they were going to do.
That man who was under the van? He layed there for EIGHT HOURS so it couldn’t move.
The local mosque opened up and started handing out refreshments to the people protesting:
And when the men were finally released (after 9 hours of being the the back of the van) the whole crowd walked them to the mosque so they would be safe:
This was the ultimate “fuck you” to the British government. It was an absolutely incredible show of solidarity and what happens when people mobilise.
The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.
The dude under the van was literally cycling past, saw it, and promptly threw himself and his bike beneath it. It was just him and two OAPs at that point. He just saw an immigration van and fucken hurled himself under like “Guess this is my day now.”
If you listen, her tapping very much adds to the music.
Love this💗💗💗💗💗
This is Emma O'Sullivan, who is also the dancer (at the same location) in the viral video about where she incorporates whatever moves a passing toddler makes into her dance.

HOW CAN YOU EVEN HAVE A GIF THAT’S THAT SPECIFIC?
I agree, it is highly unnatural…
You might even say it’s ….. “Supernatural”
I haven’t seen a supernatural reaction pic exchange since the dark ages
This post has the same energy as 2012 Tumblr, and while it brings back ancient, strange memories, it also feels reassuring that some things will never change.
wow i wonder if that 300 year gap could be explained by any outside factors…….whoa! for some reason it lines up with the timeline of britain’s invasion and subsequent colonization of ireland! wild, huh? i wonder if the two are connected in some way? i guess the world will never know….
“why do the Irish hate the English so much? It couldn’t have been *that* bad!!”
This was in place till 1973.
Seeing non irish people reblogging this makes me happy
