I wrote this last winter. I so wish I was wrong about where all this would lead. So much suffering, so much sickness and death because of this man. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

Our last episode of the year is a conversation about what resisting ICE has looked like in Chicago, what we've learned, what it's cost, and where we go from here. I'm so grateful to Gabe Gonzalez, Rey Wences, and Jocelyn Walsh for this convo. This one is special to me. Audio + transcript:

Imagine being Irish and being anti immigration??? Make it make sense! How’s your uncle getting on there in Sydney? How’s your nephew doing in Dubai? I heard the American cousins were over for a visit last month?

I wrote a book that I hope helps people think about the relationship between law, science, social movements, &political economy. It tells the story of how feminists transformed the response to AIDS to ensure better access to healthcare. Avail for preorder! www.cambridge.org/core/books/r...

Japanese knotweed is a queer asexually reproducing female alien clone attacking the UK real estate market without actually damaging land. Could we learn from it?

My favourite account of trust points out that it allows ‘comfortable defocusing’: trust allows you to take your mind off something and give your attention to other things. This is why trusting AI is so dangerous at the moment. We must not defocus. philpapers.org/rec/HAYTAT-4

Do you notice how, the higher the evidence stacks up that our ruling class is basically just a gaggle of coercive arse-grabbers covering up for each other, the more extreme their terror of foreign sex criminals and transgenders lurking in toilet cubicles grows

“As feminist scholars committed to anti-colonial and abolitionist praxis, we understand knowledge production cannot be separated from the material conditions and structures of violence in which it is embedded.” Read here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This Bill, first proposed by Brid Smith in the last Dail, had initially received support not just for getting rid of three day wait But for amending the 12 week time limit on abortion under s.12 and extending to 24 weeks / foetal viability.

Scandalously the Dáil has just voted 73-71 to continue to force many women to travel abroad for abortions by refusing to reinstate Bríd Smith's Bill to scrap the three day waiting period. The vast majority of FF and FG TDs voted against women's right to choose. Shame on them.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

The Ministry of Justice is still refusing to meet with the lawyers or families of hunger strikers being held on remand. This is a shambolic dereliction of duty. I have written to David Lammy, again, imploring him to do the right thing before it is too late.

BREAKING: Quesser Zuhrah is taken to hospital after crowds gathered at HMP Bronzefield following her rapid health deterioration after 46days of hunger strike. There are seven more hunger strikers currently facing critical health deterioration. Support them by visiting PrisonersForPalestine.org

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning. I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss. We stand with you.

Such a disgrace #CareMatters Chasing people who are getting around £14k a year in return for care when the state makes a mistake in paying their care allowance - the meanness, the disrespect for care labourers

Meanwhile established lobby groups, long inside the walls, can say “Ireland should use a chunk of its EU political capital to get a nitrates derogation so dairy farmers don’t have to change.” Most Irish people are not dairy farmers, and would prefer clean rivers www.antaisce.org/news/eu-nitr...

One of the first cases following the Supreme Court’s decision on the definition of sex under the Equality Act has found it didn’t decide which changing room a trans person should use. Reflections on the Peggie case by a specialist discrimination law KC: https://goodlaw.social/32xs

"Jess O’Thomson of GLP argued that recent decisions by Girlguiding and the WI to exclude trans women were the result of “lobbying and legal threats” from groups “pressuring organisations on the basis that the case is closed, and exclusion is now legally required – when that is far from the case”
