Tainted Ladies - Boston Review Liberal feminism is collapsing. Who’s really to blame?

“Thinking the world is going to the dogs because of immigrants or ‘gender ideology’ is a delusion. But is it more or less of a delusion than the liberal attitude that things were basically okay until circa 2016?”

Lorna Finlayson reviews Judith Butler, Andrea Dworkin, and @reproutopia.bsky.social:

The Rights of the Child: Parenting, Politics, and the Body - Brooklyn Institute for Social Research Any compassionate person can intuit and observe that young humans require, relative to so-called adults, an extra level of safeguarding against certain environmental hazards, from automobiles to firea...

I love that (actual, meaningful) children's rights is becoming more of a thing. ICYMI this is going to be AWESOME and it's online!! I got a preview of some of Sophie's thinking on this in a previous class a few years ago thebrooklyninstitute.com/items/course...

Wrote three mini movie reviews that amount to a bit of a rant about failures, more and less bad, of anti-fascism in recent (liberal as well as post-liberal) Hollywood output: www.patreon.com/posts/brief-...

Ok fine.

These Health Care Workers Spoke Out for Their Peers in Gaza. Then Came Backlash. Medical institutions are silencing their staff and impeding efforts to build solidarity with medical workers in Gaza.

Medical institutions are silencing and even punishing staff for speaking up about Palestine, but health care workers told me doing so is their job: "Our basic oath is to protect life, and it’s not restricted to a certain geographic area [or] a certain population." Read my reporting at @truthout.org.

No Opinion for Gaza: Why we are boycotting the New York Times Sophie Lewis explains why she & 200+ former New York Times contributors are boycotting the outlet until it addresses its anti-Palestinian bias.

The courage to withstand, as feminists, the reformulated myth of the black rapist at the core of Zionism’s femonationalist gambit is also a profound antifascist commitment.

Jonathan Chait has disparaged the NYT Contributor Boycott as an “insidiously illiberal maneuver” that abandons “faith in public reason.” He is right on this point. Antifascism undeniably involves—at least outside of dinner parties—a conscious measure of illiberalism. www.newarab.com/opinion/no-o...

More than 200 former NY Times contributors—alongside 300+ other writers—have decided to withdraw their labour from the Opinion section of the so-called “paper of record” until three demands are met.

Sophie Lewis, one of the signatories explains what the demands are🔗 www.newarab.com/opinion/no-o...

"Pas de tribune pour Gaza: pourquoi nous boycottons le "New York Times"", par Sophie Lewis www.newarab.com/opinion/no-o...

I wrote about why a @wawog.bsky.social -led coalition is targeting the Opinion section of the New York Times with a boycott and strike, why I as a freelancer and former contributor am standing in the picket line with hundreds of others, & what it means to draw a line: www.newarab.com/opinion/no-o...

So it happens that the translation is not by the wonderful @reproutopia.bsky.social, still one of my favs though!

Oh no dear Ethel that's not me! (This happens all the time - the UK based translator Sophie Lewis translates feminist texts from French, and I grew up in France, sound British, speak French, and translate texts sometimes from German, so of course ppl get confused! She and I met up to laugh about it)

I’m extremely proud of this excellent issue 4 from pinko. Thank you to @reproutopia.bsky.social, @riislover667.bsky.social. @lisaduggan.bsky.social, and everyone else who contributed such phenomenal pieces. Please pre order and circulate!

This is an excellent opportunity for everyone to read @reproutopia.bsky.social's "Enemy Feminisms" to understand what "conservative feminism" means & its complicated history.

In our latest, @reallandsend.bsky.social & @city.bsky.social are joined by Lara Sheehi & @reproutopia.bsky.social of @wawog.bsky.social to discuss withholding cultural production and why they organized a boycott to refuse to write for New York Times Opinion

Reading @reproutopia.bsky.social's 'Enemy Feminisms', finally, and struck by how many left historical projects now are similar attempts to name anti-libaratory tendencies in our own favoured movements while trying to maintain the radical energy associated with them. 'Bad Gays' and kinda my book too

Everything Donald Trump is doing to Americans and in America was pioneered by Dick Cheney on foreigners and abroad. He threw the imperial boomerang

Read this and wrap your head around the way white institutions so often want marginalized people to present their stories in weak, hyper-personalized, depoliticized ways.

Explosion at Harvard Medical School NBC News 'Intentional' explosion at Harvard medical campus under investigation 1 day ago The New York Times 'Intentional' Explosion Took Place at Harvard Medical School, Officials Say 1 day ago ABC News Explosion at Harvard Medical School appears to have been intentional, authorities say. No on... 1 day ago The Guardian No one hurt after 'intentional' explosion at Harvard medical campus, officials say 17 hours ago

When the suspects appear to be white guys, it’s not a bombing — it’s an intentional explosion.

I love this
