THREAD: Important report by @hopenothate about how anti-Muslim racism has become the No1 driver of far right support. Over a 1/3 of Britons now believe that Islam is a threat to the "British way of life". This is frightening: how did we get here? theguardian.com/world/2019/feb…
Here's a discussion by our director @omaromalleykhan on @BBCRadio4 about what #Islamophobia is and why it needs to be understood and addressed as "anti-Muslim racism" vimeo.com/284318608
And in this @NewStatesman piece our deputy director @Zubhaque argues that anti-Muslim racism has grown because liberal elites (incl media and politicians) have been "complicit" in the growth of anti-Muslim prejudice under the guise of "free speech" newstatesman.com/politics/stagg…

Today for #BlackHERstory Month, we recognize #TruthTeller, Sojourner Truth. She is best known for her speech on racial inequalities, "Ain't I a Woman?" delivered at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in 1851.
#BlackWomenLead #BlackHistoryMonth
Sojourner Truth was an evangelist, abolitionist, women’s rights activist and author who lived grew up as a slave, serving several masters throughout New York before escaping to freedom in 1826. #BlackWomenLead #BlackHistoryMonth
After gaining her freedom, Truth became a Christian and, at what she believed was God’s urging, preached about abolitionism and equal rights for all, highlighted in her stirring “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech, delivered at a women’s convention in Ohio in 1851. #BlackWomenLead

Today's Guardian article against the Labour leader. Here's why I don't believe it: Poverty & austerity were #1 decisive issue in UK Brexit vote. Unless the 1,034 Labour members polled were those most affected, it's not clear if their views now changed. 1/ theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
LSE-London School of Economics Blog: Following the #EURef in 2016 an important cross-cutting observation is that Leave voting areas had been “left behind” from globalization, with the local population having been particularly reliant on the welfare state. 2/

1. visto che è successo ieri? Una settimana fa una giornalista top del #Guardian,non una qualsiasi, quella che ha rivelato scandalo #CambridgeAnalytica,twitta una foto di personaggi legati alla presunta operazione di influenza da parte dei russi su elezioni2016 USA
2. la foto mostra 2personaggi del presunto "complotto" #Russia-#Trump che si incontrano a Londra. La giornalista #Guardian twitta: "plot tickens"(la trama s'infittisce) e scrive che il posto in cui si sono incontrati è la scalinata dell'ambasciata dell'Ecuador a Londra
3. anche un orbo riconoscerebbe che la scalinata indicata dalla giornalista del #Guardian NON è affatto quella dell'ambasciata dell'Ecuador a Londra: che è facilissima da riconoscere per il portone

Just for a bit of balance when I was trying to get out of special ‘schooling’ in the 1980s none of the local public schools in Campbelltown NSW would take me. Only a local Marist school was accessible & made the effort #schools #education
The principal of one public school looked at me, snorted and said ‘well what are we going to do with this little problem hey?’
The second public school said I’d have to skip maths & science classes and do them in a corridor or the library

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Since 1851, obituaries in @nytimes have been dominated by white men. Just 20% have been women.

Today we introduce Overlooked — a project to write the obituaries for the women who never got them, but should have.

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Women who were Overlooked include:
—Ida B. Wells, Journalist
—Ada Lovelace, Computer Programmer
—Charlotte Bronte, Author of “Jane Eyre”
—Emily Warren Roebling, “surrogate engineer” of the Brooklyn Bridge
Diane Arbus didn’t receive an obit.

Neither did Sylvia Plath.

Those who did receive obits were often comical. When she died in 1953, Frida Kahlo was referred to in the first sentence as the “wife of Diego Rivera,” and later as a painter.
