Reading stuff about what is going on with ICE, whenever I see "federal agents" in a report or headline my brain changes it to "feral agents" which, to be honest, is actually pretty accurate.

Union condemns continued docking of staff pay following strike action at University of Sheffield The University and College Union (UCU) has today condemned the lockout and withholding of staff pay at the University of Sheffield following lawful industrial action

The University of Sheffield has stopped paying staff.

Not for striking but for refusing to work unpaid to make up for strike days they were already docked for.

This is punishment, not negotiation. And it’s completely reckless.

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

Friends! Big favour to ask. We're trying to save our university but the management, exposed for their recklessness, is being aggressive & will withdraw our salaries indefinitely. Sign & share to ask this 'lockout' tactic be withdrawn @sheffielducu.bsky.social

I've been stuck on trains since 9:30 this morning and have nowhere near arrived - for a journey that should be 50min. I truly hate travel in this country. What an absolute waste of a day.

The pandemic was a mass-disabling event and one of the reasons it has largely vanished from day to day political discourse is that those in power don't want to acknowledge the long term care needs it produced.

I think it's so cool in general to have multiple languages to your disposal, if it just wasn't the case that this happens in scenarios when already stressed or on the spot 🙈
