I first posted this on Twitter over a year ago. Since then, Copenhagen has approved construction of its fifth urban metro line.
Meanwhile, Dublin continues to see minimal progress on its first.
The contrast could barely be starker.

No food, aid, or fuel have entered Gaza since March 2.
Community kitchens have closed. Children are sick, thirsty, and starving.
Now Netanyahu’s government wants to occupy Gaza and shut down the existing aid distribution system run by the UN and its humanitarian partners.
Arms embargo now.

TERF Island: the embarassing truth about Britain's Trans Panic.
Condemning an entire category of people on the basis that one of them might commit a crime is the very essence of prejudice. And that prejudice plays straight into the hands of the far right.

Racist ideas of 2-tier citizenship pumped out in the UK too from all the usual channels.
& the Labour govt are playing into it too - moving to reduce access to stable, long-term status in the UK for migrants, following the trend of short-term, precarious visas for all.
Disastrous on all fronts.

”As far-right and nationalist parties steadily gain political ground, analysts say that citizenship is increasingly being linked to crime, giving rise to a shift that risks creating two classes of citizens and marginalising specific communities.”

We are seeing a very clear pattern of banning things that make Trumpists and their kids feel bad:
- Books about colonialism, slavery and segregation
- Challenging ideas about gender
- Protests against genocide
- Science generally
It's a blanket ban on hard feelings. They called us snowflakes.

As I describe in an infographic in my new @plos.org article, given the massive size of our awful 4-state measles epidemic that began in West Texas, a second measles death is sadly predictable and >50 hospitalizations. This is so sad and was totally unnecessary
