I don't know how the continent does libel, but certainly if the UK had libel laws more similar to the US, there would be greater press freedom there.

Pretty sure they've become a Russian propaganda site. The only thing they love more than Putin is gold.

I feel like I'm just asking for trolling here, but can anyone recommend a good Twitter follow for someone who is pro intersectionality/feminism/transgender/postmodern issues? Like an intellectual, not just a sensationalist?

I realized I've been following a lot of people who critique the above topics but I haven't really heard their side yet.

Coates’ work is required reading at several schools now. Bell Hooks is another.

I've always associated Coates with identity politics, but would he be a postmodernist?
