This started out with me communicating to police; re: harassment from motorists. Then the police targeted me.

@WGladstone This is clearly an appeal to people who are inclined to White supremacy.
The Chevy and Ford model autos are the #1 seller amongst a certain clientele.

I think the thing that makes me angriest is that there is no mention of *the girls who were Jeffrey Epstein's victims* in Lessig's lousy, self-indulgent, himpathetic paean. The only victims one meets are Ito, the boyhood Lessig, and the people who worked at the MIT media lab. SMH

@manwhohasitall Why he's even bothering.

[Flavia Dzodan @redlightvoices]

it is inexplicable that a site like https://t.co/NPtxJKtzW2 would publish a right wing tirade against “the loony left” in Amsterdam which is barely more than trashing a Black woman, Sylvana Simons, for her initiatives on racial and social equality

@redlightvoices To be a Dutch business person.
How uncomfortable it must be.

[Flavia Dzodan @redlightvoices]

"Over a third of Dutch businesses told [research agency] SEO that they'd rather have a no-deal Brexit than continue dealing with this uncertainty"

@AirForceTimes This is stupid.

So when I speak to college students about abortion politics I first take an informal study of the students who have had comprehensive sex ex before I start my talk. And then I adjust my comments on the fly depending on the results. Because we can’t assume a base of knowledge

Note to The Guardian:
If a movie is largely about incels and has an incel-like protagonist "but doesn't pick a side," the movie HAS effectively picked a side. Being apolitical is a political stance.

@kate_manne @sandylocks @GretaThunberg @AOC You're nobody until you're the scourge of Jordan Peterson!

Congratulations!

[Kate Manne @kate_manne]

"Scourge of Jordan Peterson" has to go in my bio now. Seriously though, I'm incredibly honored anyone voted for me, and thrilled to be in the company of some of the people I most admire--Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks, @GretaThunberg, and @aoc. Thank you, friends and followers!

(P.S. *something something* TERFS. Because an admittedly derogatory expression is not, therefore, a slur. It may be an accurate term, and an earned derogation.)

[Kate Manne @kate_manne]

Derogatory language without the accompanying/underlying structural conditions of oppression is often tantamount to nothing. Calling someone a bedbug does not oppression make. OK, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[Kate Manne @kate_manne]

I'm on the record as skeptical that dehumanization should be centered in analyses of oppression. I am also suspicious of the rhetoric of humanism, which suggests that if dominantly-situated people only understood the humanity of others, then horrible outcomes would be averted.

[Flavia Dzodan @redlightvoices]

and especially this: the administration of live and death and the necropolitics of language

I've had so many threads on this topic. Here's one from last year

[Flavia Dzodan @redlightvoices]

I wrote this in 2016. Not only has my position not changed but I believe the State has further created the conditions in which "life" is seen as an obstacle to budget cuts https://t.co/RpT4IAUlbd

[Flavia Dzodan @redlightvoices]

in situations like this when I express my position there have been people that believe I am against euthanasia. That is not the case. I am against the State removing all protections of life and then presenting death as the "good alternative"

[Flavia Dzodan @redlightvoices]

Here we go again with this: while they vote for initiatives to cut pensions, remove all safety nets and all forms of care, the Dutch party D66 to press ahead with bill to support assisted suicide for ‘completed lives’ https://t.co/iZdp2P87xW
