'Rethinking masculinities and feminist allyship' New on the #IdentitiesBlog, by Çağlar Çetin-Ayşe: Read the blog post ⬇️ identitiesjournal.co... @nasarmeer.bsky.social Aaron Winter Taylor & Francis Research#IdentitiesBlog,

Fair play from the Mail. I said what I said.

Such a dilemma for Reform. How to be misogynistic and racist without attracting the support of well known misogynists and racists. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

protesting in this outfit is a real “heads I win, tails you lose” moment when it comes to the optics

I was interviewed for this La Tribune article on the #TogetherAlliance March Against the Far Right À Londres, des milliers de manifestants se rassemblent pour dire « no » à l’extrême droite - by Manon Hilaire @sosslancaster.bsky.social @lancasteruni.bsky.social www.latribune.fr/article/la-t...

It's not just AI, it's also racist conspiracy theory and quite mainstream. Even if you delegitimize and embarrass Goodwin and destroy what is left of his reputation and career, that will still be true - as will the influence he's had on mainstream politics. Let's address that.

Making this about the individual and AI as opposed to the reactionary grift and its platforming in ways that help whitewash and legitimise GB News is ridiculous.

In December 2025, the Palestine Coalition informed the Metropolitan Police of its planned route for the annual Nakba Day march on 16 May. This has only now been refused because of the announcement by Tommy "Ten Names" Robinson of plans to hold a far right march on the same day.

Horrified by the antisemitic attack in our city. Antisemitism is vile and has no place here. Solidarity with the Jewish community in Golders Green - and with our communities across the country who will be feeling this today.

So you agree with one thing Tucker Carlson said. Not a reason to promote or left-wash him. May just mean the mainstream media is beyond shit. His politics and influence have helped get us to where we are and won't help you or any Palestinians. Don't fall for it.

Tucker Carlson literally wants people like Mehdi Hasan ethnically cleansed. I do not understand the impulse to pretend that Carlson is anything but a Nazi. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/you-do-not...

Say what you will about Tucker Carlson once again being celebrated by people on the left, the fact is that a mainstream news org gave him more of a voice than most pro-Palestinian voices. There are many reasons the left has become vulnerable to the likes of Carlson but this one is often overlooked.

-I want the most daily telegraph headline known to man -no, that’s too daily telegraph

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum condemned Tim Walz for comparing children hiding from ICE in Minneapolis to Anne Frank. Meanwhile, a council member at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum is out here saying Trump "prevented another Holocaust" by bombing Iran. Who gets to make Holocaust comparisons?

This has just been published in “Theory & Society” (formerly) considered THE top #sociology /theory journal, after Springer Nature redid the board, installing Steven Pinker among them. Shame shame shame

There must be a lot of people who don't use violent rhetoric or share conspiracy theories, but also cannot remember how they got to a Waffle House. Some will end up at IHOP, but America is divided.

Domination is their new weaponised word of the day

As time goes on, Jewish anti-Zionism reveals itself not only as solidarity with Palestinians but also as an anti-antisemitism strategy. We want out of this toxic dialectic, this terrible feedback loop between Israeli belligerence and the Jewish precarity it incessantly engenders

“Regardless of how assembly is defined, people will find creative ways to collectively resist the increasingly totalising impact of AI.” @bnjacobsen.bsky.social reviews AI and Assembly: Coming Together and Apart in a Datafied World, edited by Toussaint Nothias and Lucy Bernholz. buff.ly/HqKSI3p

I really enjoyed doing this @identitiesjournal.bsky.social Podcast episode (9) on Researching Extremism and Risky Material with Shereen Fernandez and @rizwaansabir.bsky.social. 1/ open.spotify.com/episode/3Bpn...

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

It's fascinating to watch cooler Labour heads like Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham say that comparing the Greens and Reform together is a terrible tactic. Yet Labour ministers are hourly on shows keeping up the same narrative. The Green Party and Reform are completely the opposite!

The racialisation of the working class has always been core to reactionary politics E.g. mainstream elites were quick to blame/praise the white WC for both Trump & Brexit despite data providing a different picture @aaronwinter.bsky.social and I explored it here www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

'the last thing Labour should do if it wants to be electable is to ‘lurch to the left’ to appease the Greens' Happy to lurch to the right to appease Reform though. If so, it means they learned nothing from Gorton and Denton. www.independent.co.uk/voices/labou...

Yesterday the main opposition party to Macron and the far right in France was classified as "extreme left" This is a further step in the demonisation of the left and the concurrent mainstreaming of the far right @frasermcqueen.bsky.social's piece is illuminating on this reacpol.net/antifascism-...

developed democracies are balkanising into 'internet fascist' & 'progressive liberal' teams nobody wants reactionary centrism

Democracy is a conspiracy unless only racism is represented.

If you want to defeat the far right, you need a real alternative, not a more moderate version that panders & parrots but offers nothing to address real issues. Congratulations @greenparty.org.uk, Hannah Spencer, @zackpolanski.bsky.social & the people of Gorton & Denton www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp...

Off to York to give a talk as part of the @yorkstjohn.bsky.social Discussing Decolonisation series. Looking forward to it. Racism, Reaction & Resistance: Reflections on the Mainstreaming of the Far Right Aaron Winter @sosslancaster.bsky.social 24 Feb 5:30-7pm www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/discussing...

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

Mandelson follows the former prince Andrew into the Epstein-linked arrest book.

I'll be on @lbc.co.uk news today at 2:25 pm discussing Reform UK

Really important article. It won’t be long before Musk, Reform & other far right movements can afford to be less coy about Nazi inspiration. (Remember Farage hissing at Jews?) But the outrage that should induce still won’t be enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

as far as i can tell “bio hacking” is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

Been saying this for years. That & the role of that research in the mainstreaming of the far right he now runs as a candidate for. How are other academics who used it surprised or think he turned at some point?! Says a lot about what they can't or don't want to see. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
