Open letter calling for an inquiry into the EHRC. I’ve just signed. organise.network/actions/peti...

The EHRC Guidance is a wicked exercise in removing rights from trans people - and is bad too for employers and service providers, those outside gender norms, people with disabilities and the economy. We've created a tool to make it easy to respond. Please use and share. goodlaw.social/9e59e9

🏳️‍⚧️ @humanrightsvicky.bsky.social, the trans judge who will be heard, even if she has to take the UK to the European Court of Human Rights 👇 https://www.youtube.com/watch?ref=wearequeeraf.com&v=IPU6XN4lOvw&feature=youtu.be

Shabana Mahmood, herself a vigorous opponent of the rights and dignities of trans people, says they are not even supposed to question why the Supreme Court locked them out of proceedings about their lives. It's a proper, ugly, scandal.

🌈 #GenderingDemocracy No.27 📘 Based on their research into engagement between government ministers and NGOs, @drorlysiow.bsky.social, @drashleec.bsky.social and @cerifowler.bsky.social reveal striking inequalities in who gets access ⛔ to political decision-makers. ➡️ bit.ly/44K8MtV

So many copaganda accounts on here are using tragedy of Lapu-Lapu Day to argue for more policing. Cops maybe running press conferences, but majority of people responding to this tragedy are community members offering & sharing resources & health care workers (many of whom are Filipinx immigrants).

Israel is using “suicide drones,” designed by Elbit Systems, to massacre sheltering Palestinian families in Gaza. These drones have killed at least 30 Palestinians, including 14 children. Many universities in the US still hold ties to Elbit Systems.

The legal definition of a woman in the UK now excludes trans people after a Supreme Court ruling defined sex as 'biological sex' This is everything you need to know about the ruling 👇 Reporting by @jessothomson.co.uk 🧵🏳️‍⚧️

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

WGSJ Statement on York University’s Suspension of New Admissions of 1st Year Majors to Undergraduate Programs Please see our full statement on our webiste: wgsj.ca/2025/02/19/s...

The Indigenous Studies program at York was founded with much fanfare & was used to show commitment to indigenizing the academy and to decolonization. Now they're suspending admission, showing all of this so-called support is performative. Here's a statement fr the program. #academicsky

An important national #disability report from Kids Brain Health Network that’s not getting enough coverage in our current media landslide #cdnpoli #DisabilitySky #CanadaSky

hill i been dying on is that externalization/outscourcing of migration detention is template for global policing, new bilateral trade agreements, and pillar of global & regional imperialism of this era. what was normalized for migrants is boomeranging for "citizens" already also disenfranchised.

"There is No Such Thing As Women's Representation: Intersectionality and Second Generation Gender and Politics Scholarship" by @drashleec.bsky.social and me has been included in the most read collection at @ejpgjournal.bsky.social bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has left the healthcare system in ruins—80% destroyed, medical supplies critically low, and hospitals overwhelmed with the injured. Here is a snapshot of the numbers.

Another new publication together with @drashleec.bsky.social. How has #intersectionality been used in gender and politics research? How can it be used in ways more closely aligned with Black feminist theory?

Got the official email directing a pause on our NSF grant. The language of the email likens “any grant activity that uses or promotes the use of DEIA principles and frameworks” to discrimination and a violation of the law

New article in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social with @drorlysiow.bsky.social. We analyze how intersectionality has been used in gender and politics research, and explore how can it be used in ways more closely aligned with Black feminist theory. #gendersky #polisky

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Jean-Marie Le Pen, the French far right leader, died today. If you wonder how many French people feel about that, these are the scenes of celebration on the streets of Paris this evening. One sign reads “The dirty racist is dead”. (🎥 Luc Auffret)

Our article "Intersectionality, NGOs and Executives: Who Has Which Minister’s Ear?", with @drorlysiow.bsky.social & @cerifowler.bsky.social, has been a long time in the making! Excited to see it out soon in West European Politics. #gendersky #polisky

New CCPA report: Company Men: CEO Pay in Canada, 2023. On average, the top 100 CEOs were paid 210X more than the average worker’s wage in 2023, and this wealth gap is only growing: In 1998, they'd made 104 times more. The report busts key myths about CEOs’ pay and their worth. 1/2

Canada's advocates & authors #CanLitResponds mobilized to end the literary sector's complicity in the Gaza genocide. Many pulled books from consideration for the Giller Prize, demanding it sever ties with companies invested in Israel's murder of Palestinians. @laythco.bsky.social reports ⬇️
