There is a story that has been repeating itself for centuries, each time dressed in new words and new faces, a narrative that the masses have always found easy to believe.

WorldPop's Andy Tatem and Jessica Espey report on the growing global crisis in #population data in The Conversation. Please share across your networks

"When people vanish from #data, they vanish from #policy. When certain groups are systematically undercounted – often #minorities, #rural communities or #poorer people – they become invisible to #policymakers. This translates directly into #political #underrepresentation and inadequate resource allocation."

Just saw an excellent convo about affirmations for #masculine people. I got happy. Then I got sad when I remembered what's happening in the USA. We're being dragged backward at an alarming rate. We're back to struggling merely to affirm that #women, #LGBTQIA+ people, ethnic/racial #minorities, people with #disabilities, etc. deserve the same rights as everyone else, and to be free from harassment and violence. "Advanced" things like how stereotypes about #men (and similar topics) support and entrench #patriarchy seem like almost luxuries at this point. I feel like I'm going to spend all my day-to-day social justice time explaining to people that trans and queer and #Black and #Native and #Hispanic and #autistic and female people are human for the next few years. Ugh.

Oppression can be described as the elimination of enjoyment.

People who endure oppression have to work harder to find enjoyment in life.

#HotTake: Every #human should be entitled by international #law to free, unseizeable #ID documents in the form of a travel #passport to evidence their #identity and have #FreedomOfMovement as well as a chance to #flee.

• It should also be illegal to demand #biometrics like #Fingerprints which are trivial to forge anyway!

Why?

• Because in past and in present day denying the issue and/or confiscation of #passports has been used and abused solely to commit #democide, #genocide and #hatecrime both #opposition groups and #minorities.

From the article: "Essentially, all employees and job seekers, a total of approximately 153 million Americans, benefit from the protections the EEOC provides. The Equal Pay Act—a law requiring equal pay for equal work that the EEOC enforces—covers virtually all employers, while other laws enforced by the EEOC apply to all but the smallest employers. Whether they work in the private sector or for the government, practically all employees and those applying for jobs are protected by the EEOC against illegal employer actions" (Annotations removed for clarity)

I hope this writer is correct but I don't have a lot of confidence in the #American electorate right now. How can anyone explain #fundie_vangie adoration that elevates this moron to "dog" status. What explains children of WWII GIs who fought #nazis now actively supporting said nazis? Why do poverty stricken #minorities believe a rich, fat, old white guy cares for them? In my studies of human behavior, I could have never imagined this level of stupidity among Americans.

Russia is home to ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity. Yet, when members of ethnic #minorities stand up for their causes – such as Bashkir environmental activists – they are often faced with severe repressions by state institutions.
