(1/3): #Surveillance rarely arrives all at once. It grows one technology at a time - from airport spot-checks to AI-powered policing, predictive algorithms, and expanding border controls. Each new tool promises "security" while quietly reshaping the limits of state power.
📣 Dispatch 13 of #VoicesOfResistance is out now. In this dispatch, Chris Jones explores how #AI, predictive policing & #surveillance technologies are expanding state power while reinforcing existing injustices. Security for some too often means repression for others. 🔗 Read now

NOOR@noornetwork.bsky.social · 2mo ago(1/2): Applications are now open for Noor’s Popular Education School - #KnowYourEnemy 2026. A 5-week political formation space for organisers, activists & thinkers confronting the far right in real time - not just resisting, but analysing and building collective power.
(1/3): Our latest #RootsOfHate mapping report explores how anti-rights and exclusionary movements shape law, public discourse, and everyday life across the #Caribbean. These dynamics are not abstract; they have real political & social consequences for communities across the region.
(1/3): #RootsOfHate - Caribbean report maps how anti-rights movements are structured, funded & coordinated across borders. It examines how power operates through transnational networks, strategic funding, political influence, & coordinated messaging to challenge advances in gender and sexual rights.
(1/2): Our new mapping shows how anti-rights and fundamentalist movements in the #Caribbean are not isolated, but part of deeply entangled global systems of power — from extractivism to coordinated funding and ideological networks that move across borders.

(1/2): Here’s what Sonia Corera has to say about Noor × @ijsc.bsky.social new report Big Tech Cash for Backlash — an investigation into how #SiliconValley philanthropy is shaping political agendas in contradictory and often hidden ways.
(1/4): At #CSW70 in March, Noor and the Institute for Journalism and Social Change @ijsc.bsky.social hosted a parallel event on how money moves through progressive philanthropy — and what it enables or reinforces.

nicole froio@nicolefroio.bsky.social · 3mo agoI spent months speaking to trans politicians and scholars, as well as one victim of viral transphobia, to write about how trans hatred has become a political strategy to gain votes in Brazil for @globalvoices.org and @noornetwork.bsky.social: globalvoices.org/2026/05/21/a...
New from the #FeministJournalistFellowship by @nicolefroio.bsky.social, in collab with @globalvoices.org & Noor. Explores how trans people are targeted in Brazil’s political & digital spaces, and how these incidents are amplified into viral content to drive moral panic, political gain & harm.

(1/3): In “Unmaking a Revolution: Fascist Logics and the New Authoritarian Order in Tunisia,” a Black Tunisian feminist traces how the promise of 2011 has been dismantled into an entrenched authoritarian order, reshaped through constitutional overreach and the criminalisation of dissent.
(1/2): Securitization doesn’t just respond to crisis. It produces the conditions we live under. Emergency becomes permanent. Security extends beyond the state into platforms, capital, infrastructures shaping everyday life. Protection becomes a way to govern mobility, speech, dissent.
(1/2): Big Tech doesn’t just shape platforms. It shapes systems. Through philanthropy, billions move across organisations, causes, and regions, influencing what gets funded and what doesn’t. To understand that power, we have to follow the money.
(1/2): Following the money changes what we see. This research traces how philanthropic funding shapes political ecosystems — often in contradictory ways. Because this is not just about generosity. It’s about power, influence, and what becomes possible.
