Part of disability justice is curtailing CVE / threat assessment programs that stigmatize people with mental illness as violence-prone. Disability resources should be about liberation, not criminalization.
CP3 doesn't address white supremacist violence. Instead, it profiles people based on overbroad indicators. Have you gone through a breakup recently? According to CP3/TVTP, you might be at risk of becoming a terrorist.
I get talked over & ignored by white queers a lot. To the point where I think I don't belong in this whole 'diversity & inclusion' world. I can't be the only queer person of colour that feels this way. We're being pushed out of spaces we should be running.
Re: NSC & Patriot Front in Boston. It is futile to demand that law enforcement, a main pillar of systemic racism, respond to white nationalism. The DA, police, BRIC, etc are not a solution. Here are some Do's and Don'ts for Massachusetts folks.
Wow! Hijabis half as likely to get a call back in the Netherlands.
I’d like to a see a similar study done in the US, where Hijabis have higher unemployment than non-Hijabi Muslim women. https://t.co/UvuIR5IBtk…

I was getting coffee with my daughter this morning. A white woman saw us, came over to us and said, “ohhhh, whose child did you steal.” I laughed and said, “only white people can steal other people’s kids and act like they’re theirs.” She grabbed her coffee and left.
Sick of It has a new matching and letter process, plus a signal support group :-) and we’re looking for more outside penpals interesting in disability justice + mailing a very special issue by @fierce_invalids out soon.

This is horrible. The GOP just released a national anti-trans bill. It will not pass this year, but this shows their intentions if they win.
HB8170 would force teachers to:
- Misgender trans students.
- Out trans kids to their parents.
- Withhold affirming trans kids in therapy.
If you’re looking for some great essays & poetry that highlight how Muslims come in all forms and hold so many intersecting identities, definitely pick up “Halal If You Hear Me” co-edited by @asgharthegrouch and @mafiasafia https://t.co/y8jo3qCGMa 🌈☪️
Super excited that our forthcoming novel Everything for Everyone was featured on BuzzFeed Books’ summer must read list!!!! @genderhorizon @CommonNotions
The survey will take around 20 minutes to complete and afterwards you’ll be given the option to join a raffle for free money, it’s a win win!!!
It is unfortunately only open to Queer Muslims in the US, inshAllah we see more of these pop up around the world!!
The first ever large scale study of LGBTQ+ Muslims in the US has been launched‼️
The data collected from this survey will provide valuable insight to service providers, researchers & organizers on how to best improve the lives of QM’s!
share far & wide!!
