Some personal news: I wrote a book! Capture in the Court (from @NBPublishers) is out on 29 September. It is an attempt to explain the emergent anti-constitutionalism, bust some myths and respond to common criticisms of the Constitution. Will share more but for now, we celebrate!

Tembeka is in top form today. Linking Israeli politicians’ genocidal views to the actions of soldiers on the ground AND showing that the soldiers themselves reiterate and repeat the same views is an incredibly clever approach.

And the courts agreed. An effective advocate.
A quiet reminder that Tembeka Ngcukaitobi - one of the South African lawyers who is trying to accuse Israel of genocide - spent most of last year trying to argue that “Kill the Boer” is not a call for genocide and is, in fact, perfectly acceptable speech.

Homophobia will stop the day we stop being reduced to “two men [who] wanna have sex”. That’s literally what the moral panic around teaching kids about LGBT people is about, when really, most people know they’re gay before they even know what sex is.
Homophobia really just stems back to people not minding their business. If two men wanna have sex what that gotta do with you.

The funny thing about this tweet is that a demand that UCT should be 50% Coloured is a demand for a race quota. So….
Why are Coloureds only 13% at UCT while being 50% of Western Cape? Why is Lethabo from Limpopo given preference over Competent Locals? Under Cape independence we will free UCT from BEE Race Quotas & Communism 🙏🏽

I mean, fair, but her compromises were based on Barack's trajectory. She slowed her life down to help him ascend to high political office. These aren't the things young people (women, really) are being asked to sacrifice their own ambition for. Simply incomparable.
