10 years!? you tell me at the twilight that I'm still an ECR?

You both made my day and made me deeply frustrated at the same time.

In the last few years it has become somewhat of a fad to reject the term militarizaiton in IR. Well, here is what militarized policing under a far-right state government looks like. The pain and grief and horror is the embodied residue of what you seek to deny.

After the rivers of blood speech, precisely no one in the major parties patted themselves on the back and declared free speech to be alive and well. They declared Powell a pariah, and he was only able to re-emerge in public life as the incongruous unionist MP for South Down.

I’m a Dundee University lecturer – and this is why I’m striking Professor Angela Daly sets out why she and other lecturers will strike over the threat of compulsory redundancies at Dundee University.

Today is the first day of the @ducuuo.bsky.social strike against cuts. The future of higher education, our members jobs, & our students, is being ripped up across the UK. Brilliant work from the branch fighting back for us all, please send your solidarity.

Union fears 400 jobs set to go at Sheffield in Β£23 million cuts Strike ballot called at South Yorkshire university, with similar vote also under way at Durham University

Dreadful news. 'UCU said that it believed as many as 1,000 professional services staff were likely to be threatened with redundancy under a plan to restructure every school within the university.'

All around us institutions built on/sustained by our own labour are hollowed out by a lethal mix of mismanagement, moral decrepitude, and political inertia. No time to sit silentβ€”Organise and mobilise whenever/wherever you can.
