This is the quote I want to share at the beginning of any course I'm teaching about human rights, the international system and the UN.

Thank you Grace Lee Boggs, who died this day a decade ago, for your 70 years of activism and writing.
Quote from Grace Lee Boggs- "You cannot change any society unless you take responsibility for it, unless you see yourself as belonging to it and responsible for changing it."

And more!

This happened last night and I hadn't heard about it until this post, so went to the BBC News homepage. You have to go all the way down the page, below recipes for 30 minute meals, and you find it as a text link in 'politics'.

A beige bird with a yellow throat and chest stands in a green plant. It’s puffed out and extremely cute.

Breaking news consumer's handbook, from onthemedia.org Fake news edition 1. Big red flags for fake news: ALL CAPS, or obviously phoshopped pics. 2. A glut of popups and banner ads? Good sign the story is pure clickbait. 3. Check the domain! Fake sites often add .co to trusted brands to steal their luster. (Think: abcnews.com.co") 4. If you land on an unknown site, check its "About" page. Then Google it with the word "fake" and see what comes up. 5. If a story offers links, follow them. (Garbage leads to worse garbage.) No links, quotes or references? Another telltale sign. 6. Verify an unlikely story by finding a reputable outlet reporting the same thing. 7. Check the date. Social media often resurrects outdated stories. 8. Read past headlines. Often they bear no resemblance to what lies beneath. 9. Photos may be misidentified and dated. Use a reverse image search engine like TinEye to see where and image really comes from. 10. Gut check. If a story makes you angry, it's probably designed that way. 11. Finally, if you're not sure it's true, don't share it. Don't. Share. It.

I am one of the two staff who resigned over the suppression of the Queering toolkit. There was absolutely no reason, theologically or in terms of research quality or policy to suppress it. The senior management, as with their inability to name a genocide, continue to serve donors, not partners.

The move has angered many of the charity’s employees, who believe they are being censored and made to contradict what local partners are experiencing.

Really great to see Feminist Legal Studies responding to contemporary attacks on trans rights with this special issue. Giving space to trans inclusive feminist analysis is crucial in light of the tendency of the anti-gender movement to co-opt the language of feminism.

📣🏳️‍⚧️ Call for Papers

We are inviting papers for our special issue, “Feminist Responses to the Regression of Trans Rights: Strategies, Alliances, Hope.” The issue will be dedicated to trans-inclusive feminist legal analysis that addresses attacks on trans rights & lives.

Details below. Please share.
Call for Papers: Special Issue of Feminist Legal Studies Feminist Responses to the Regression of Trans Rights: Strategies, Alliances, Hope Amidst continuing backlash against trans rights, recognition and inclusion, two recent decisions from the UK have substantially impacted not only trans people’s legal status but also legal and social narratives of sex, gender and identity. The narrative that trans inclusion has a chilling effect on the rights of others, particularly women, has been adopted uncritically by both the UK Supreme Court in For Women Scotland and the Office for Students in its finding that the University of Sussex’s trans-inclusion policy had a chilling effect on free speech. These cases highlight a backlash that has been ongoing for some time, and sparks debates and fear of what may lie in the near future for trans people and kin, as well as other gender-variant persons, not only in the UK, but across jurisdictions and in a global perspective. The discourse of the ‘gender critical’ movement is splintering both the feminist and LGBT+ movements globally, with some aligning politically with the Far- and Christian Right against trans rights, adopting their terminology of ‘gender ideology’ and potentially posing a wider threat to sexual and reproductive rights. While this a difficult situation for trans people, kin and allies, this special issue seeks to emphasise that legal battles – including battles (temporarily) lost – are also an opportunity to seek to reinforce old alliances and to form new ones, to find new legal frontiers and imaginaries, to reinforce the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of legal arguments as well as intergenerational memory of what feminist legal work is, has been and should be about. How, we ask, do these decisions (and those like them globally) reflect and reproduce structures of coloniality, heteronormativity and cisnormativity? What do these decisions add to critiques of legal feminism? What would be construct…

After 24 years of the war on terror and no acknowledgement of the violence that has been inflicted on Muslims, 9/11 commemorations by the state that are devoid of any recognition of the victims that the war on terror has created a certain idea of whose lives are grievable.
US Mourns the Victims of 9/11, But What of the Victims of the “War on Terror”?
Twenty-four years into the global “war on terror,” we need rituals of public mourning to acknowledge its many victims.

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre.

In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."
