"Freedom of religion and belief is an inalienable human right.
Faith and belief should never attract violence."

It is simply unacceptable that a person can face arrest and imprisonment for "insulting a religion or religious beliefs."
This is a deeply troubling example of what happens when laws are used to protect the hurt feelings of religious communities.

President of @HumanistsNG, Mubarak Bala, was sentenced in April to 24 years in prison for 'blasphemy.' Now, the global humanist community is redoubling efforts to set him free. Here's a powerful article by the group's founder @LeoIgwe.

Happy International #PronounsDay!
Whether you add your pronouns to your Twitter handle or share them with your students and peers, sharing your pronouns helps create a more welcoming space.

Every pronoun.
No pronouns at all.

It’s Juneteenth AND reparations.
It’s Juneteenth AND end police violence + the War on Drugs.
It’s Juneteenth AND end housing + education apartheid.
It’s Juneteenth AND teach the truth about white supremacy in our country.
Black liberation in its totality must be prioritized.

The Chauvin verdict can only be measured by its long range consequences. We need to see it as the beginning, the achievement of minimal justice. The police need massive reform, sustained by relentless public pressure. #PoliceReformNow
