Colonial logic means that the oppressed are guilty not only for asserting their humanity through resistance but also for the savagery of those they’re resisting. They are simultaneously the violated and the violence.

Decolonize the body. Decolonize vocabularies. Decolonize this, that and the third. People are so used to using decolonization as a metaphor. When actual decolonization that threatens material relationships & power happen a lot of these decolonization as a metaphor ppl are shook!!

Here are some books about Palestine by Palestinian authors that you can read to help to better understand historical and current contexts. Some are fiction, some are memoirs. While you’re here, do check out Amar’s book list as well. https://t.co/0XcBYgzgxS

Central London right now is a vast, heaving, electrifying refusal to stay silent - in the face of abominable violence, and political leaders who insist that silence (or cheerleading) is the only acceptable response #Gaza

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK. Giving a huge platform to a man to fantasise about violence against a woman he wants to “parade naked through the streets” dangerously legitimises the violent thoughts of men all over the country.

« Il n'est pas surprenant que [ces productions] soient applaudies comme féministes, car elle diffus[ent] le récit dominant des femmes blanches et présente des personnages de meneuses […]. Ces récits incarnent la présence d'une nouvelle éthique de la féminité blanche.

Le problème c’est surtout que la promotion de l’extrême droite est démesurément supérieure à celle de la gauche, qui est stigmatisée médiatiquement, au point de qualifier un social démocrate « d’extrême gauche », c’est affligeant.
Il a manqué du terrain, de la place, de l’union.

City & Islington Sixth Form students walked out today in protest against being searched as they come into college. They feel stigmatised and traumatised by the searches.

Et soudain, la plupart des responsables politiques & éditorialistes occidentaux devinrent attachés au droit international et à la paix…ceux-là mêmes qui n’ont rien dit ou ont soutenu, défendu, orchestré, légitimé nombre de guerres, d’invasions, d’occupations & de coups d’État 👌🏽

La vidéosurveillance automatisée, c'est aussi dans nos supermarchés.

Nouvel exemple à Vélizy où il est demandé de "se faire filmer pour ne plus se faire surveiller".

'It's been an internal battle for years based on a phobia that no one will take me seriously, or will ever understand me, if I continue to speak with a thick Geordie accent. One that, ultimately, I'm actually very proud of.'

I am honoured and thankful for the opportunity to write for #TheEnvironment. My piece titled "A Seat at the table" discusses the exclusion of people from ethnic minorities from decision making and leadership.
