A new WAWOG effort in coalition with a slew of amazing organizations are pushing for a boycott of the New York Times opinion section as they call for changes within the notably pro-Zionist outlet. It’s time the NYT be held accountable. It’s time to boycott.
BREAKING: 300+ writers, scholars & public figures refuse to write for the New York Times Opinion section in a collective effort to hold the paper accountable for its role in the genocide in Gaza.

"When feminist struggles enter phases of rapprochement with the state, they throw Indigenous, 'deviant,' Black, sexualized, sex-working women and other gender minorities under the bus." @reproutopia talks with @ayagruber about truly abolitionist feminism.

In ‘Enemy Feminisms,’ philosopher Sophie Lewis engages with the feminism of racists, colonizers, fascists, cops, and jailers to better understand what a truly liberatory politics needs to look like.
