TWO HOURS AGO: an incredible photo taken by a ut austin student capturing something deeply poetic in my opinion, a line of state troopers eagerly waiting to arrest student protesters standing just behind a sign that reads "what starts here changes the world. its starts with you and what you do each day."

The bill restricts asylum seekers’ abilities to challenge the policy as a whole, or to challenge the notion that Rwanda is safe, but there may be room for a legal challenge based on their own personal circumstances - such as a history of trafficking, or being LGBTQ+. After being notified of their removal to Rwanda, an asylum seeker would have seven days to seek to appeal their deportation. A proportion of these appeals will go to the upper immigration tribunal, which then must determine each case within 22 days. The government has recruited a pool of judges to deal with these appeals so that flights can get off the ground in the summer. These individual challenges could in theory be taken all the way to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), where judges could then issue a ruling that the deportation of that person would be unlawful. Countries signed up to the ECHR are not bound by these rulings, even though they very rarely ignore them. Mr Sunak has already indicated that he will ignore any ECHR ruling that tries to stop flights to Rwanda. The civil service union, the FDA, is also considering a legal challenge to the bill . General secretary Dave Penman said the bill left civil servants “in an invidious position, where a minister could instruct them to break international law but their professional obligation, as set out in the civil service code, prohibits them from doing so.” Mr Sunak said civil servants must deliver instructions from ministers to ignore ECHR rulings. He said he had amended guidance for civil servants to make it clear that they need to follow directions from ministers, even if the directions go against international law.

The Rwanda bill has been passed. People seeking asylum in the UK are no longer safe. This bill has been criticised by many human rights groups, yet parliment have still decided to go ahead with it. People are seeking safety in the UK, and are being turned away. Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.". The Rwanda bill prevents this. There is no conformation that people sent to Rwanda will be safe there. This is a blatant violation of human rights. Asylum seekers are human too, and they should be treated as such.

Yemen’s armed forces threatened on 22 April to expand military operations against Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea, Arab Sea, and Indian Ocean following the discovery of mass graves in Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex. “For the seventh month in a row, the genocidal crimes of the Israeli enemy continue, the latest of which is the brutal massacre in the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis,” the armed forces said via a statement on Yemen’s Al-Masirah channel. The statement continued, “the genocidal crimes that the Palestinian people are facing in Gaza and the occupied West Bank reflect an unparalleled level of Zionist hatred and crime.” The statement by Yemen called to “escalate their operations in the Red Sea,” adding that Sanaa continues its full support for the people of Gaza. On Sunday, over 200 bodies were found across two mass graves located in Khan Yunis’ Nasser Medical Complex. Gaza’s Government Media Office announced that about 700 victims are expected to be found. “We found in the Nasser Complex corpses without heads and bodies without skins, and some of them had their organs stolen,” the media office said. “The occupation executed dozens of displaced, wounded, sick, and medical staff.”

NEW ESSAY: "The Cass Review, WPATH Files, and the Perpetual Debate over Gender-Affirming Care." It discusses flaws in the Cass report, while also making sense of these debates over trans youth & GAC more generally. I show that this is not a debate about "the science" per se, but about whether we strive to minimize harm (via gender-affirmative model) or whether we harm trans people in the name of prioritizing cisnormativity. No paywall, please give it lots of "claps"!

I'm too tired and too sick rn to articulate this properly but I wish people put more thought into the way Signalis approaches communism and communist imagery and how it has a lot more to do with the spectre of memory and fear as it exists in the specific experiences of people who grew up in the ruins of the DDR than it does the vulgar anticommunism/red scare imagery that american players project onto it. Perhaps this is my own projection but the contrast between what to me is a clear degree of reverence and even Ostalgie next to ever present decay and degradation of those same images and concepts reads far more as bitterness and even betrayal than just "communism bad." The game has far more on it's mind regarding how the past bleeds through into the present and within that framing evoking the DDR is hauntological, not moralistic and certainly not triumphalist.

Zionists and everyone else PLEASE stop abusing the term ‘blood libel.’ IT DOES NOT MEAN “ACCUSATION OF MURDER.”

It is a feudal European conspiracy theory to justify pogroms by accusing Jews of murdering Christian children to use their blood for satanic rituals, including baking matzah with this blood. If it isn’t literally an accusation of blood drinking or blood magic or ritualistic child murder, it is not blood libel. It is not blood libel to accurately describe Israel’s actual actions bombing children. That is completely unrelated to the blood libel myth, stop expanding the definition beyond the phenomenon it was invented to describe.

Drawing on various theoretical perspectives such as treadmill of production, world systems theory, and ecological unequal exchange, green criminologists have posited that the adverse outcomes associated with ecological disorganization are tied to the expansionary tendencies of the capitalist world system. Here, ecological disorganization is the sum of the deleterious effects of two connected economic-ecological processes: ecological withdrawals that disrupt ecosystems by removing resources from the environment and ecological additions that disrupt ecosystems by adding pollution to environments. In an effort to promote growth and capital accumulation, in addition to exploiting labor, capitalist must expand the market, which means producing more goods and more demand for those goods. To increase production, capitalism must increase withdrawals of ecological resources, causing ecosystem damage or disorganization. Those raw materials are then fed into the manufacturing process where, applying fossil fuel and chemical energy, other forms of ecological disorganization are created: pollution or ecological additions. Drawing on these insights and from ecological Marxism, green criminologists suggested that the ordinary production of commodities via the capitalist process, creates ecological disorganization and can be conceptualized as a form of green crime from the perspective of nature and also as a form of green/ecological injustice.
