The mountain of waste by the Cherwell is poisoning our environment. It’s also being seized upon by those who would poison our politics with xenophobia. This is what happens now when government fails to act, migrants are blamed, hate rises.

My next book, Feminism for a World on Fire, is out next May.
In it, I’m honest about the challenges that women are facing, from misogyny to the climate emergency - but I also look at how women are still defending our rights and trying to build a better world…

The UN inquiry report that finds Israel is committing genocide contains more than 90 references to women.
Including women being targeted, reproductive healthcare destroyed, sexualised violence.
Feminists, if you haven’t yet spoken, do so now.

to dare right now to build the alternative to capitalism and patriarchy.
So my advice is this:
Take your anguish away from the computer, off the screen, and go talk about it with other women in your community, your streets, your city. Because we won't heal online, that's for sure.

Good to see women speaking out on this.
Harder borders and more deportations will not make women and girls safer.
We need resources going into justice, support for survivors and education.

Lots of people are saying that today marks the largest mass arrest in Britain.
Not quite. Back on 17 Sept 1961, my mum helped organise this demo where over 1000 were arrested for sitting down in Trafalgar Square.
If we don’t want today’s resistance to be forgotten, let’s not forget yesterday’s.

Fascinating research on how a small number of super toxic people dominate our internet experiences.
And how algorithms fuel their behaviour.

The rhetoric of this government threatens to create a more angry and divided world. What can we do? Every day, people are creating a different world on the ground. Today @westlondonwelcome.bsky.social posted this, reminding me we can hold faith with that world of connection and kindness:

Brilliant interview with a brave, brave woman. @jess-davies.bsky.social's 'No One Wants to See Your D*ck' sounds just the book we need today. Not only laying out what's going on in the manosphere but also how women can and do fight back.

This is how the @nytimes.com described who was left out of the Syrian 'National Dialogue' - just a Kurdish militia. They completely erase the women & civil society organisations - Kurdish and others - of the autonomous region of North East Syria who are being ignored.

Syrian refugees have enriched our lives. They are our friends, our colleagues, our neighbours. No need to talk yet of them leaving. When it's the right time, they can journey back if they want.
I love this in an article today. Let's remember what we gain as well as give when we welcome refugees.
