dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

Elle fait partie des familles des victimes de l'attentat du DC10 d'UTA de 1989, imputable au pouvoir libyen du colonel Kadhafi.
Elle a des choses à nous dire sur Sarkozy et sa victimisation.

Ce type de réaction dit absolument tout.

- « Nous », les puissants, ne pouvons tolérer d'aller en prison (& d'être soumis à la loi commune)

- Et donc il y a « eux », les « animaux », qui peuvent y aller.

Ce n'est pas anecdotique : C'est la clef des politiques pénales de ces dernières décennies.

Un peu perplexe de la façon dont les médias traitent l’info Sarko.

On parle de la condamnation, de la peine, du verdict, mais alors pour rappeler les faits qui lui sont reprochés y a plus personne.

Le sujet c’est pas “il va faire de la taule”, c’est “POURQUOI il va faire de la taule”

📣🏳️‍⚧️ Call for Papers

We are inviting papers for our special issue, “Feminist Responses to the Regression of Trans Rights: Strategies, Alliances, Hope.” The issue will be dedicated to trans-inclusive feminist legal analysis that addresses attacks on trans rights & lives.

Details below. Please share.
Call for Papers: Special Issue of Feminist Legal Studies Feminist Responses to the Regression of Trans Rights: Strategies, Alliances, Hope Amidst continuing backlash against trans rights, recognition and inclusion, two recent decisions from the UK have substantially impacted not only trans people’s legal status but also legal and social narratives of sex, gender and identity. The narrative that trans inclusion has a chilling effect on the rights of others, particularly women, has been adopted uncritically by both the UK Supreme Court in For Women Scotland and the Office for Students in its finding that the University of Sussex’s trans-inclusion policy had a chilling effect on free speech. These cases highlight a backlash that has been ongoing for some time, and sparks debates and fear of what may lie in the near future for trans people and kin, as well as other gender-variant persons, not only in the UK, but across jurisdictions and in a global perspective. The discourse of the ‘gender critical’ movement is splintering both the feminist and LGBT+ movements globally, with some aligning politically with the Far- and Christian Right against trans rights, adopting their terminology of ‘gender ideology’ and potentially posing a wider threat to sexual and reproductive rights. While this a difficult situation for trans people, kin and allies, this special issue seeks to emphasise that legal battles – including battles (temporarily) lost – are also an opportunity to seek to reinforce old alliances and to form new ones, to find new legal frontiers and imaginaries, to reinforce the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of legal arguments as well as intergenerational memory of what feminist legal work is, has been and should be about. How, we ask, do these decisions (and those like them globally) reflect and reproduce structures of coloniality, heteronormativity and cisnormativity? What do these decisions add to critiques of legal feminism? What would be construct…

What if scientists hadn’t waited until this point to speak about politics

Every time I see a headline like this, my brain just shouts

Like what if scientists hadn’t sat around silently watching everyone around them get attacked

Maybe the fight on campus would have gone differently

"Tao is one of the most prominent mathematicians and academics to publicly oppose the administration’s actions, calling them an “existential threat” to his field, and academic science, more broadly. He said public advocacy is a priority over his research, for now."

The 'Mozart of Math' rarely speaks about politics. The wide-ranging cuts to science funding made him change that.
UCLA's Terence Tao called the Trump administration's actions an "existential threat" to academic research in the U.S.

Maintenant que l'administration Trump est plus anti-américaine et pro-russe que lui, le campisme de Mélenchon n'a plus aucun sens. En jouant le jeu de la Russie, il joue aussi le jeu des Etats-Unis. Au lieu d'embrasser un seul impérialisme, il en embrasse deux d'un coup. 🙇

Végétaliser l'alimentation proposée à l'université d'été. Pourquoi ? 1. Pour les animaux Nous combattons l’exploitation et la mise à mort annuelle de milliards d’animaux sentients, terrestres et aquatiques. Les autres animaux subissent, eux aussi, la domination du capital qui transforme leurs corps en marchandises. Nous avons un intérêt commun à nous en libérer. La végétalisation de l’alimentation est un acte collectif de solidarité politique avec les animaux non-humains, que nous inscrivons dans une perspective d’émancipation qui n'oublie personne. Nos choix collectifs doivent refléter notre projet de société écosocialiste.
