Wait a damn minute. The things Arday did, like the marathons, had been previously covered, with first hand primary sources, by English news orgs, contemporaneously?!?! And yet the Telegraph and others just kept repeating that he'd lied about them, despite tons of documentation they happened?! 🤬🤬🤬

Just astonishing that we are now into day 3 of an attempted pogrom in England and the only statement from the government foregrounds the scrapping with the police and praises the right of protest.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 3w agoBBC report on violent disorder in Thetford, Norfolk. A lot of effort to balance here re violence & anti-immig protest. What report describes violence targeting people's homes: whether the "alleged asylum seekers" are being misidentified or not is beside the point www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Review of African Political Economy @roapejournal.bsky.social · last mo.Malick Doucouré argues that the recent anti-LGBT crackdowns in pro-Pan-African governments are about elites manufacturing unity against a fake external threat to absolve their failure to fix the economy. He argues it's time to reclaim the Pan-Africanism of Nkrumah & Sankara. buff.ly/hOFlOzV
Yup. When Musk says "no one" died, he's asserting that people of color are not people. Not that fact-checking is useless. But it needs to be paired with reminders that Musk is a racist who is asserting that non-white people aren't people. newrepublic.com/article/2135...

"in-hospital mortality increases for Black, but not White, patients as hospitals reach capacity... We identify rationing by wait times as a mechanism, documenting that sicker Black patients wait longer for care than healthier White patients at almost all capacity levels"

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

Sarah Kay@k-interarma.bsky.social · 3mo agoAn active response group chat I’m in mentioned two incidents of racially based attacks in east Belfast yesterday; another, who works in safeguarding, mentioned that parents are worried about sending their children to school.

Hello friends, @avishaybsg.bsky.social and I have published an essay in @foreignpolicy.com on what ceasefires accomplish even when the shooting never really stops. Mainly, they create space for diplomacy, aid, strategic reflection, military relief, and for leaders to evade accountability. 1/2

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.
