Fascist violence tears society apart & serves no one! The mentality of scapegoating & hatred, driven by a false narrative of victimhood spread by the press and policy rationales, inevitably leads to intolerance, prejudice, and violence. It creates an unsafe society serving none!

🚨 New paper out in @ERSjournal 🚨
While #Taiwan has been praised for its #COVID success, @TsungLunOne and I challenge that what "success" means by examining how migrants are (not) included and represented in the Taiwan parliament.

If you're defending the mass starvation of children in Gaza, then it's time to take a step back & look at your moral compass: "Surely it is impossible for us, as normal human beings, to watch children starve to death without making an effort to save them."

Senegal's recent electoral disruption, categorised as an institutional coup, challenges its democratic exceptionalism. Or does it? Scholar activist @drlandislife situates this coup within a hyper presidential system that goes as far back as Senghor.

My latest column on Gaza-> “While you may find the news hard to keep reading, think of the people in Gaza, the children especially, who are being starved of food, deliberately”
