If you missed it, I’m part of a small collective trying to bring a radical bookshop shop to Newcastle. We haven’t had a good proper radical book shop since the 1980s. We think that should change! We launched our crowdfunder today, support if you can: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/booksfromb... Pls share

Just heard an ultra-competitive postdoc programme for consolidating PhD work has lost a quarter of its time and spending budget. Who wants to jump through all their ridiculous hoops and paperwork for 9 months of work? Do they even think about this stuff?

Hey everyone, a collective I'm part of is starting a radical bookshop and community space in Newcastle, a city where the last radical bookshop closed around 40 years ago. We've just launched our crowdfunder. Please take a look a share widely! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/booksfromb...

If anyone is interested, the artwork is loosely inspired by these doodles in Marx and Engels manuscripts notes. As Eduardo Cadava and Sara Nadal-Melsió note in Politically Red, the doodles of heads within heads shows a collective mass mobilised by writing, reading, and thinking

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Listening to the 2024 remaster of The Gits, Enter the Conquering Chicken and damn Mia Zapata absolutely slays. What a singularity of a voice.

Sad to read about the passing of the great William Connolly. A wonderfully creative political theorist who has left us with such a rich body of work. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at Essex in 2008 & chat with him afterwards. The family death notice is lovely www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

You can understand the Iranian regime is oppressive and murderous and also understand that this war of aggression against it is illegal and immoral and that those who will suffer the most from it are the people of Iran.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Unimaginably depraved.

To be clear, the BBC provide no quotes or actual evidence that suggests Iranians are relieved that America and Israel are bombing the fuck out of their country.

Good election result for the Greens. First of many gravestones for the abominable, toxic, abusive Labour Party, I hope.

This is perhaps too frank, but there’s something about being trained for a sector of the economy that is collapsing, something about having several markers of excellence to your name from that training… and finding yourself unable to get a job interview that just weighs very heavy after a while

Thatcherism only works if you have publicly owned utilities to sell off to your spiv mates, and ideally an oil boom, and also you don't have fifty fucking years of deferred maintenance from Thatcherism Blairism only works if you haven't already done Blairism And yet it never stops them both trying

The High Court has ruled that the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was unlawful - a vindication for all those who have put themselves on the line to oppose Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the British states complicity in it

You should fill out this government consultation on changes to migration policy. If you find anything confusing (which the questionnaire seems to be designed to be), the amnesty international guide linked in the tweet below is a helpful guide for answers that help protect migrants and refugees.

Genuinely, if you live in the UK you should so the consultation just to find out some of the unbelievable details of what's being proposed. Even with their spin and obfuscation it's shocking

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

An interesting way of admitting what ai really is: it’s not democratisation of skills, but deskilling, designed to ensure the material basis for creating and developing skills continually shrinks and recedes, so that capitalists don’t have to pay for or deal with the unruly agency of skilled workers

Looks like the end of one regime of foul, far right buffoons and the beginning of the countdown for the next regime of foul, far right buffoons.

Ludwig Von Mises is definitely one of history’s true bastards, but I’m still gobsmacked reading his theory of why fascism is acceptable and Marxism is bad (tldr; Marxists are of the bad sort of race) From The Choice of Civil War, 2026

The Struggles Of Elon Musk 😔

Briefly visited the hellsite to post my article (I know, I know) and the intense affective negativity in that space feels noticeable when you have been away a while. (This isn’t to dismiss negative affects out of hand, of course, but concern for the way they’re incited and mobilised over there)

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Huge victory for left activists in the UK. One of the reasons political elites hate jury trials is because, just occasionally, they deliver a justice that transcends its merely legal delimitation

Make Iran Great Again demonstration at monument with cgi images of their Shah and an Israel flag. Absolutely disgusting.

Recently saw the trailer for this in the Cinema, and I have to say it’s very on the nose that the Riefenstahl equivalent of today is a completely mercenary director (Brett Ratner), mobilising the aesthetics of girl bossing à la Real Housewives.

“our tech doesn’t do any of the things we claimed the past few years, but we still need you to use it or the line will go down”

It's always been abolish ICE. For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency. I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.

Agree other than the idea this is a ‘new’ type of guy. The counter-revolution of a very old type of guy

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

A board composed of universally reviled war criminals Tony Blair and Donald Trump is a disgusting colonial imposition; an insult to the right of Palestinians to decide their own future.
