‘If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city loses its university? When Essex University’s Southend campus opened, it was a message of hope for a ‘left behind’ UK seaside town. Its closure will be felt far beyond its 800 students, some of whom will not get their degr...

Everything in this report reflects on what we value, for communities, for peripheral places, for young people, for education, for the future - and it looks like we’ve got it all wrong.

Full rights and citizenship actually means they’re not a “foreign labor class.” And that’s what he’s angry about. He’s mad citizenship is universal rather than restricted to white people like before the civil war bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

If you feel "hamstrung" by human rights laws and by health and safety laws - you are the person those laws were designed to protect us against. You need to be obstructed by those laws.

Also, she's lying.

I have never witnessed such a spiderweb of collective action, just average everyday people showing up. Not the heroism we’ve been sold by the movies but collective heroism, a fabric of care and resistance to fascism.

'Palestine 36' director says film is about 'refusal to disappear' The director of Oscar-shortlisted film "Palestine 36" said her big-budget production about a crucial but little-known Arab rebellion is a statement about Palestinians "refusal to disappear".

Propos d'arno klarsfeld appelant à des rafles contre les étrangers en france

Un petit-fils de déporté juif qui appelle à des « rafles » contre des étrangers en France (soutenant les actions de Trump, considérant les exécutions extrajudiciaires comme "des injustices inévitables").
L’inversion des valeurs est totale.
Le fascisme n’est pas à nos portes :

Remember that the UK has far, far weaker protections against state power than did the US. And the latter folded up like a pack of cards. The US is a warning from the British future.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Dans le Minnesota, ICE a tué deux personnes blanches, et il y a là une leçon sur le suprémacisme blanc et la xénophobie d'Etat, qui peuvent tout à fait faire des victimes parmi les personnes blanches : ces dernières peuvent être mises à mort si elles s'opposent au déploiement du racisme d'Etat.

I have been thinking all day about the number of times unarmed Black people were killed by police on the pretext that their cell phone looked like a gun. And people would say “oh but you just don‘t know what the truth is.” Well here it is.

Oui, c’est abject.

Mais arrêter & placer des mômes en rétention car ils sont étrangers, la France fait cela aussi.

Elle a même été condamnée 12 fois (!) par la CEDH pour cela.

Et aujourd’hui encore, elle continue de le faire à Mayotte.

L’inhumanité contre les étrangers n’est pas qu’américaine.

Imagine if the hype was around the Greens' rise rather than Reform

Imagine if instead of putting far-right issues on the agenda, mainstream parties talked about hope, justice, redistribution, public services etc

That would put real change on the table and that's why Reform is a safer bet for them

Law firm representing Renee Good's family releases findings from independent autopsy

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE

The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast

The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side

He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot

That’s murder

Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza.

He has assembled a Board of Occupation.

The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu.

That is up to the Palestinian people.
