  1. Calling on fediverse moderators: if you see a post that kind of, sort of borders on racism, but you're not really too sure: yep, you're definitely dealing with a racist.

    Learn about dog whistles. And microaggressions. Get a Black person on your moderation team.

    None of the redesigns and user experience tweaks will matter if we can't make this place welcoming to everyone.

  2. Asked if the decision was a response to #GregAbbott’s letter, Montgomery said it was made before the letter was issued, but that airport ofcls “were aware of his & other public officials’ emerging concerns.”

    #Muslim leaders & experts in #religious liberties rejected Abbott’s claim that the facilities would discriminate against non-Muslims. Several said opposition to the washing stations is the latest example of #GOP leaders, perhaps most visibly in #Texas, railing against Islam.

  3. Later that day, #DFW announced it had scrapped plans to add additional washing stations in men’s & women’s restrooms that are available to passersby outside the security perimeter.
    
Airport spox Heath Montgomery wrote in an email that ofcls “determined the originally anticipated benefit may not be achieved” if the stations were built.

  4. #GregAbbott sent a letter Friday to the heads of the Houston airport & Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport that said facilities aimed at serving one religious group are discriminatory against everyone else.

    Abbott said he has asked the US Dept of Transportation to investigate both airports & warned that his office is “reviewing all grants to any local governmental entities involved in these schemes.”

  5. …Public #wudu stations are also open at places including the University of Minnesota, the University of Michigan, LaGuardia Airport in New York & O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.

    Now, amid rising attacks on #Muslims by #Republican elected officials, #Texas Gov #GregAbbott is making the stations a target.

  6. These are the people the US has been supporting for the last 70 years, across party lines...

    “I think targeted killings should be carried out in Gaza every night. Kill 30 or 40,” Ben-Gvir said, “not only those who pose a danger to you at that particular moment”.

    “There are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people,” he added.

  7. Israel is marking Palestinian detainees with numbers.

    At least 50 Palestinians were detained in Qabatiya in the occupied West Bank and many returned home with numbers on their forehead and arms.

  8. RE: social.vivaldi.net/@mjlmo/1171

    Yet another example of racism on the Fedi.

    This link mainly for all the folks that constantly never see racism on here.

    If people would just not reply, this place would be better than my RSS reader. Christ.

  9. "The public cruelty Jason was subjected to was too much for any man to bear."

    To the memory of Prof. Jason Arday, youngest Black professor ever at Cambridge University, whose life was taken last week by a cruel and unequal world that could not let him succeed -- nor indeed even just live in peace.

  10. After massive reaction from bus drivers and their union, the repulsive political adds from Swedish neo Nazi party SD was removed from the busses in Göteborg.

    The text of the add reads:
    "Do You Miss Mogadishu? Home-return-grant will help you go home"

    In an interview with swedish TV, one of the drivers who is from Somalia and lived in Sweden many years said "I don't feel safe any more, so many racist reactions and now this?".

    The extreme right wing party who used to hide their main policies and pretending to be "new labor party of people" have uncovered their true face and openly and shamelessly pushing for ethnic cleansing of Sweden from all foreigners, specially those from non European and Muslim countries.

  11. As a welcome counterweight to the waves of negative commentary on Jason Arday before his death (and indeed in some quarters after his death), here is a testament to 'Everything Good About Jason Arday' put together by his students & others....

    If nothing else this is a humane & compassionate response to a human tragedy....

  12. CW: Some of the goods on Florida's (latest) openly fascist GOP House candidate; mentions lynching

    RE: kolektiva.social/@ThatWeltschm

    Reposting because the linked post now has a whole thread that goes pretty deep. Apart from Unite the Right, Rawson was also at the rallies against the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue at the roundabout formerly known as Lee Circle in New Orleans, was sufficiently involved with League of the South to be a speaker at one of their conferences in 2021, used to regularly retweet Richard Spencer, once posted that "lynchings worked," and on and on.

    And now he's the GOP candidate for Florida's 10th House district.

    Apart from the linked thread below, there are also lot of details archived here: web.archive.org/web/2022081300

  14. "Cofnas said that an unidentified male Cambridge faculty member had supplied him with information about Arday. Before even examining Arday’s PhD thesis, completed at Liverpool John Moores University, Cofnas had dismissed him as “just another DEI hire”, referring to ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ schemes.

    At the ideological centre of the network is Aporia, an online magazine which serves as the public-facing arm of the Human Diversity Foundation – now known as Polygenic Scores.

    The Human Diversity Foundation was a rebranded and relaunched version of the Nazi-era Pioneer Fund, which sought to mainstream its eugenics doctrines through Aporia.

    Tech billionaire Peter Thiel has cultivated ties to key actors in this network: to Cambridge Professor James Orr, through whom he channelled a donation to Cambridge; to Orr’s Cambridge circle; to online magazine Quillette which published attacks on Arday; and directly to Nathan Cofnas and Aporia senior editor Noah Carl.

    Orr linked this infrastructure to politics. Reform UK’s Head of Policy, and an advisor to the Free Speech Union organisation, he invited Aporia into national conservatism.

    At The Sanctuary, a right wing hub in Westminster, Aporia and the Orr-backed Cambridge Scrutonian Society have separate offices provided by cryptobillionaire Ben Delo.

    Delo gave Reform £4 million in early 2026. He has also sponsored the Free Speech Union.

    By understanding this network and its ideology, a more accurate picture can be developed of the motivations behind the disproportionate attacks on Jason Arday that continued even after his resignation from Cambridge University."

  15. Scientific research tells us that Elon Musk is stupid. Maybe that’s why bigots hate science.

  16. If you are white reading this, can you be honest and say where you may be if at all, on this pyramid developed by Salisbury University?

  17. @minmi @ashwin @dumpsterqueer

    Yeah, "I don't see color!" and its variants are... not really helpful when it comes to fighting #racism .

    Because what this approach does is to stick with one's own subconscious biases, and reinforce the status quo. If you cannot make the effort to understand where marginalized people are coming from, then how can you work to make things better?

  18. We need to show rightwing newspapers that actions have consequences. Please add your name: #Racism goodlawproject.org/petition/ja

  19. Chicagoans, on Wednesday, Aug. 26, the South African white supremacist band The SoapGirls is scheduled to play at the Liar's Club, 1665 West Fullerton Ave. They're active promoters of the white genocide conspiracy theory, and their lyrics are pretty profoundly racist. Do what you will.
