@audreytruschke.bsky.socialLong article on #caste in universities in the UK, UK, and Australia.
One thing that stands out is the siloing of discussions of caste to student-based groups. Professors also need to be talking about and teaching caste and anti-caste materials.
@theraisinahills.bsky.socialAs #UttarPradesh heads towards the 2027 elections, Mulayam Singh Yadav’s legacy offers lessons on #caste coalitions, #electoral strategy and the limits of identity. @yadavakhilesh banks on legacy against Hindutva of @myogiadityanath ✍️ NIRENDRA DEV
@drkallschmidt.bsky.socialRecording the intro to my audiobook on exactly this. Print copies linked in bio. Stitch with Therese, which TikTok wouldn’t let me do organically… #socialclass #unwrittenrules #race #caste #americanhistory
@nevereverdave.bsky.socialThe "clarification" gave us an #Apartheid state; has rendered trans people vulnerable to aggressive finger pointing, being shown the door - for hyper masculine trans men - from both sides of same door! A government planned & embedding #Caste system with trans people formally lesser than cisgender.
@nevereverdave.bsky.socialAlways remember #Britain created #ConcentrationCamp concept and the #Americans gave us mass murder of indigenous people's and #JimCrowLaws that #Caste whole races as slaves. Those same American laws herded the #GermanEuropeanJews into Ghettos detested by native citizens. Britain is in there too.

@nonnamilly.bsky.socialDehumanizing the marginal group is a weapon of the dominant caste. And #caste gonna caste.
@smartbrowngirl.bsky.socialDehumanization usually starts before the worst policies arrive. First, a group is labeled dirty, dangerous, or less deserving. Then cruelty becomes easier to justify. This week’s Smart Brown Girl Briefing connects Caste, immigration, 9/11, and state power. #caste #waronterror #blackhistory
