"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

It's alarming how many people need to hear this: racism is not the natural and inevitable response to the presence of (the wrong number of) racialised Others. It is a learned response, and as such it is contestable and replaceable.
This is anti-racism 101. Entry level stuff.

This is first time I’ve heard the govt making the Labour argument for controlling immigration.
Mahmood argues that controlling our borders is good for race relations, because uncontrolled immigration is feeding far right rhetoric and tensions.
Expect to hear a lot more of that.

Why do institutions keep giving white men who fail upwards a platform? Responsible for the ill management of the 2012 Olympics security contract with G4S, the junior doctors strike, supporter of weapon sales to Saudi Arabia and their attacks on Yemen - Jeremy Hunt himself is a danger to the world

All this discussion about what language is ok to use in opposition to a genocide and IDF is out here shooting people for wanting to eat
IDF soldiers are telling the press they feel like the Nazis targeting the Jews
And you're worried about a phrase? A PHRASE? fuck you guys

My husband was nearly killed trying to get aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed trying to get desperately needed food from the US- and Israeli-backed organisation’s distribution centres.

Maybe ask your former boss to let your trucks in. Nate Mook, former CEO of WCK now sits on the board of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aka the militarised and privatised and already failed “humanitarian” initiative by the US and Israel which is really a surveillance mechanism.
Update—WCK still cannot bring aid into Gaza. While the IDF has allowed some WCK trucks into the Kerem Shalom crossing, this aid is being held just inside the border & the IDF has not yet provided safe routes to bring it to our kitchens. We are ready to cook again as soon as we can. #ChefsForGaza

It doesn’t just happen “over there”. Een gezellige Hollandse man die je gewoon “eventjes hé” laat weten dat hij precies weet waar je woont en bent geweest. Geen “rotte appel” zoals de politie je graag laat denken, maar een trend
Dutch police show up at the doorstep of a woman who took part in protests against the genocide in #Gaza. She is asked "why she participated & if she'll participate in the future protests".

The irony of calling for dialogue while not acknowledging the silent protest that is happening sums up the violent erasure very well. And then the bizarre analogy to the elephant. Was she referring to the elephant in the room?? Please make it make sense
No conferencing as usual during genocide!

Not surprised in the slightest!
I once thought everyone saw war in Iraq as a failure. @naomiaklein.bsky.social's book showed me that it was a success in the eyes of its architects--a sector that profits from creating chaos. Now US security firms will profit from the genocide the US funded in Gaza.
