This week Sudanese writer Muzan Alneel passed away leaving us a syllabus in intersectional, revolutionary solidarity and organising rooted in material analysis, beyond identity.
I recommend this particular article from 2024 elucidating some traps and false dichotomies not uncommon until today.
This obviously doesn’t make Apple any less shitty; its mapping is catering mainly to white people for instance, but spreading misinformation trashes credibility of an entire movement.
Please, take a moment to verify you are sharing news via credible sources.

Since it’s still circulating despite being debunked:
No, Apple did not remove Lebanese towns from its maps; they were never there. In fact, Apple’s new mapping only started in 2018 (with less than 2 US states in the first year) and has been rather slowly expanding since.
Egypt must be held accountable for the lives of Sudanese migrants killed in Egyptian authorities' custody.
And since the EU is paying Egypt large sums to curb migration into its borders, it should also be accountable for refugees killed in/by Egypt as well as killing refugees in the Mediterranean.
It’s sort of obvious why most of the Western world is against declaring the trafficking and enslavement of Africans as “the gravest crime against humanity”. Their ancestors did this.
As academic freedom is worldwide under increasing pressure by illiberal forces, the new project “Grey Zones, Red Lines” distinguishes legal restrictions from political intimidation, and identifies concrete legal tools that can be used to defend civil liberties.
On par with 'Sharia law' though, my personal favourite now is 'iftar dinner'!
Also consistent with my infidel self going to have iftar with my fasting friends.
The truth is, however, that white supremacy sees brown women and brown bodies as unworthy of the same liberties they so adamantly 'defend'.
This is the extreme end on the spectrum of white privilege. It is also the loop they so desperately need to maintain in order to subjugate colonised bodies.
This is neither surprising nor inconsistent with white supremacy.
White supremacists were never interested in the 'liberation' of 'oppressed' Muslim women; it was always a pretext to dehumanise Muslim/Brown men to justify their exploitative colonial crusades.
