Deep into a city, a metropolis where almost everyone disappears, too big, too fast, too unfairly; especially on the hills, on the outskirts, in the favelas of São Paulo.

British police said on Friday they may have accidentally shot two victims, including one who died, in their attempts to bring under control an attack on a Manchester synagogue. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/03/world/crime-legal/manchester-synagogue-attack-police/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #crimelegal #manchester #uk #religion #judaism #terrorism #stabbings #discrimination

Attacking those of the Jewish faith for the crimes of the Government of Israel is as wrong as the Government of Israel treating all Palestinian citizens as if they were members of Hamas. #TwoAssholesDontMakeTheCauseRighteous #Manchester #Antisemitism

#Manchester was absolutely buzzing this weekend. *so many people*. The central areas felt like London's Oxford Street in the run up to Christmas.

🇬🇧‘Counter-protesters in Russell Square held placards reading "Refugees welcome" and "Oppose Tommy Robinson," while chanting: "Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here."
