‘The Politics of Pride Events’ by @Franeka20 examines the complex relationship between #Pride and modernity while addressing pressing issues such as accessibility, #GrassrootsActivism and #EnvironmentalSustainability in a post-pandemic era. ow.ly/hK7550X0OHz
Correva l'anno 1982. Hamas non esisteva. Hezbollah nemmeno. E Israele vantava già trent’anni di crimini documentati. Dedicato ai politici dalla memoria corta, ai giornalisti al libro paga della politica di cui sopra, ai connazionali dall’etica intermittente.
It's #BristolPride2025! 🏳️🌈 Today, we’re spotlighting new articles on #LGBTQIA issues, from evolving #Transgender laws to the relevance of #QueerTheory and the shifting landscape of #PrideEvents. 🌈ow.ly/WWPw50WoiGO 🌈ow.ly/Sf2l50WoiGM 🌈ow.ly/7aes50WoiGL
ACLED data shows 1 in 5 global protests last year were about the Israel/Palestine conflict, and they are not stopping. Civil society overwhelmingly showing solidarity for Palestinians9:1-currently Mass protests in the Hague, protests in front of the White House, in South Korea...
What's happening with Pride Events and the rollback of corporate sponsorships? Last week I was interviewed for the @Independent and I discussed why the "golden era" of Pride sponsorships might be over and what implications may there be for Pride Events.
Organisers warn Trump's DEI purge is hitting Pride as corporate sponsorship drops. Experts fear "5 years of difficulty and struggle" as 75% of Pride events see corporate sponsorships drop this year. ⬇️ independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
🌈 We’re thrilled to announce the 2025 Best Article Prize goes to Koen Slootmaeckers & Francesca Romana Ammaturo (@Franeka20) for their article on ILGA-Europe’s rainbow maps as political tools, not neutral visuals. A must-read on queer utopias/dystopias! 🏆
Francesca Romana Ammaturo, author of 'The Politics of Pride Events', explores how, in 2025, #Pride faces rising global repression and corporate withdrawal, underscoring the urgency of reclaiming its radical roots. #Pride2025 #LGBTQIA @Franeka20 ow.ly/nmRW50Wfp9P

Nakba77. Hopefully no more.
On 13th June 2025 (2-6pm GMT) I have organised these roundtables (in person and online) at London Metropolitan University on the futures of Pride Events. Register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/imagining-th… BSL interpretation available.
I did consider making a speech about tackling poverty, taxing the rich, nationalising utilities and properly funding the NHS and social care, but then I thought... nah, just go full Enoch Powell.
The description of care workers as low skilled is hugely offensive. Not all skills can be taught. The ability to care for vulnerable people with compassion and in a way that protects their dignity is one that should be prized and rewarded to a much greater extent than it is.
Talk of an 'island of strangers' serves only to promote an island of xenophobes.
Keir Starmer in happier days on the 'island of strangers ' when immigrants were a jolly photo op & not an excuse for every crappy thing that happens to a nation more committed to extreme capitalism than the welfare of it's people .
Is Starmer competing with Enoch Powell’s rivers of blood speech ? ‘ Island of Strangers’ ? Is this what 10 months in powers has reduced him to ? Instead of redistributing wealth & fighting corruption he’s become a shameful mouthpiece for obscene wealth & inequality.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE: In a brilliant moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett unveils a game called "Trump or trans," and the witness has to identify who is responsible for a number of horrible acts, Trump or a trans person. Spoiler alert: It's always Trump.
None of the people complaining about women being 'unable' to use the loos have ever complained about the lack of disabled loos and disabled women being forced to go home just to have a wee But we don't count, do we?
