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.

Apparently anything even tangentially related to the health and history of women and religious, ethnic or sexual minorities is "DEI" now. Including Holocaust Remembrance. It almost seems as if the current leadership of the Pentagon regrets the role the U.S. armed forces played in the victory over Nazi Germany.

This is an umpteenth demonstration that the USA are now snowballing toward an #authoritarian and maybe even #totalitarian regime, under new dictator #Trump. #FreedomOfSpeech is being destroyed from the top down. Examples are made with #foreigners, who are the least capable of defending themselves, but #citizen should fear this too, because it's coming for them as well, and not just national #minorities. #columbiauniversity

#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.
