Excited to share my new article "'Red Amazons?’ Gendering Violence and Revolution in the Long First World War, 1914-23" in the Journal of International Women's Studies! Many thanks to @FWSAuk. Read the PDF here: https://t.co/LaspGGDn8R #twitterstorians #FWW

I regret to announce I have finally made it in academia (received a double blind peer review that castigated me for not engaging sufficiently with my own work)

University of Toronto President Melanie Woodin delivered opening remarks welcoming these disgusting bigots to this conference.

The level of normalized Islamophobia in Canadian institutions is off the charts.

Sad to hear about the passing of Bonnie Greer.

Never met in person but corresponded with her for short time following her notable intervention on QT during Brexit years.

An important voice on the airways who called things how she saw them.

An Update About Little Misk 🤍
This morning, I took my little sister Misk to the doctor to check on her hand. The doctor said that the fractures are old and that she does not need a cast. Alhamdulillah. 🤲❤️
All she needs now is food, care, and medication to continue getting better. I wanted to share this good news with you so you wouldn’t worry about her. 🥺🤍
Thank you to everyone who has asked about Misk, prayed for her, and stood by our side. Please continue supporting her, even with small amounts. Every little bit means so much to us and helps us provide her with what she needs. 🙏❤️
May Allah bless you and reward you with

As we approach the 3rd anniversary of the Biden-Harris administration launching the genocidal invasion of Gaza & setting in motion the current WWIII, here’s your reminder that defending genocide is a CHOICE

I hope this episode with Ed Sheeran and Macklemore demonstrates to the masses how powerful we are collectively, how much power each of us holds individually to withdraw our consent and complicity, and refuse silence. Thank you to every musician who dropped out, and to every ticket holder demanding a refund and refusing to attend.

[jennine @jennineak]

the solidarity by artists pulling out of ed sheeran’s tour is a watershed moment in the Palestinian-led cultural boycott movement. it will always be bittersweet & heart-hurting because such public shifts came at the cost of Palestinian lives. glory to the martyrs and survivors

But "people" didn't object to what he says. The audience all knew his politics, and bought tickets. Only Robert Kraft objected, and because capitalism does not work and is not free, only his choice counted.

Human rights lawyer and JPS editorial board member Noura Erakat was arrested today at a Palm Beach County budget hearing , where 100+ residents turned out to oppose the county's $1 billion investment in Israel bonds!

Another revelation for me in particular with this interview was the scale and effects of the Filipino left and the Latin American left on US organizing from the 1970s onward.

[a newsman @a_newsman]

The zero tolerance policy that the Israel lobby and its domestic loyalists enforce to silence criticism of that foreign country used to be done without anyone noticing, so it was effective. The problem is they’re running a playbook from 2001 in 2026 and everyone can see it now

[Jason Toney @jasontoney_]

Adam Louis-Klein is one of the "leading voices" brought together for @UofT's antisemitism conference. He is speaking alongside a slew of other pro-Israel absolutists, including Raheel Raza, who advocated in 2014 for closing mosques and a Muslim immigration ban in Canada.

[Ismail (Ish) Aderonmu @LegalishCA]

Why do conferences ostensibly about combating antisemitism keep becoming platforms for anti-Muslim bigotry?

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

I am really, really horrified by this news. Naqaa is such an extraordinarily indefatigable journalist who put her life on the line to tell the truth about the occupied West Bank.

Where are Western media feminist journalists to speak up for their colleagues?

Free Naqaa!
