So this happened today. A theory paper I am reviewing for a top tier journal, citing a paper written by me, that doesn’t exist - this just seems lazy - I have actually written A TONNE of papers that make the point. Why rely on gen AI?

A source stationed in the Middle East tells Faytuks Network that U.S. strike instructions have been updated to include bridges and connectivity targets, in order to add more pressure on Iran

"The 3rd time Anna Liedtke was subjected to illegal strip-search in Israeli detention, female prison guards forced her on to her knees and raped her...She described hearing male guards laughing during the attack, which she believes they watched & may have filmed" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The Luddites were right by the way. They were violently suppressed by the military, working on behalf of the factory owners. Chartists and other activists took up the fight of Luddism to win us back worker rights. George, just have a read of this mate: tomhumberstone.com/luddites

See what I mean when I say it's abuse at scale?

"While foreign extractors... freely plunder Western Sahara ’s phosphate minerals, sand, fish, & tomatoes, & commodify our winds, sunlight aä& picturesque desert landscapes, we the Indigenous Sahrawis are becoming a minority in our own homeland..." www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ju... #WesternSahara

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

The history of Indian Schools is tragic, which is why St. Catherine's must be investigated As Interior Secretary @debhaalandnm.bsky.social investigation found 973 marked & unmarked graves at 65 of 400+ U.S. boarding schools where Native American children were forcibly assimilated into white society

But more than any other class, the modern British working class is defined by its diversity. Diversity of race, religion, culture, background and yes, political views. It is also mostly female.

I actually studied this. Net zero got lumped in with BLM, trans rights, feminism etc., as a luxury belief of middle class elites that disadvantages white working class people. The basic argument is that working class people will have to pay for net zero, which is basically an elite fad

It is evidence of the fact that the far right's clear and compelling narrative sets the political tone against the centre and left's incoherent, disjointed, sometimes completely absent story about what kind of country we're living in and what we need to do to make life better for most of us.

Thread 🧵 👇🏽

I think there is also a problem of the centre and left being comprised of a professional middle class that has very little relationship with actual working class people - so when the far right claim to be speaking on behalf of the white working class, the centre and left believe them on some level.

really thinking about this tweet as i’ve been struggling to breathe through nausea for the last 5 hours

With heatwaves and wildfires and climate scepticism it's important for all sectors of civil society to be pushing for environmental justice. So I was really happy to be part of the working group that consulted on the recent document "Hope for All Creation" chpublishing.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978178...

Wow.. while Ontario is burning

It hasn’t been “just one minority” for decades. Disabled people have been actively targeted for 15+ years now, as have migrants. The mass attack on trans rights is a sign of how much power fascist billionaires have accumulated that they can pursue this against more people . Their agenda is

Vice-Chancellor of University of Bristol (salary £312,251): “I take a really personal view on this. My oldest daughter is the only child in my family who really is making a very significant amount of money.”

"What about schism?" "You already had it." "We had /one/, yes. What about /second/ schism?"

These will be among the iconic images of the global warming era. Such sadness and awe

People are being advised to avoid the Glenmore and Loch Morlich area today due to the ongoing large wildfire. Campsite, ski area and road closed.

"Taken together, the two datasets show more than isolated course closures or staffing changes. They reveal a wider erosion of the people, places, and capabilities that sustain these strategically important disciplines across the UK." www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/news/loss-of...

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social say that part again about climate action not being economical? "It would have been too expensive for Canadians. Canadians who are already struggling with affordability."

It's beautiful.

some real People’s Front of Judea vs the Judean People’s Front stuff going on in Schismwatch 2026, folks

*clears throat* *taps mic* welcome to Schism Watch 2026 I am here to report a new crashout

Horror stories from farmers over on instagram. Drought, reduced yields, crop failure, warnings to start stockpiling food and water. Hard not to feel climate collapse anxiety (grief?) at the moment, what with all of the everything. Gonna go talk to the magpies about it.

Anyone travelling from Edinburgh Waverley, fyi there was a power outage so various delays all over the shop.

Also you can't automatically stay forever. You have to apply to renew your visa...?

J. K. Rowling is trying to destroy Amnesty International for supporting trans people. Amnesty International was one of the first human rights NGOs to recognize the genocide in Occupied Palestine. Amnesty International repeatedly recognizes conditions in US prisons as violating international law.

So far only one football superpower that Spain could not defeat at this world cup- Cabo Verde

Remember when police murdered Philando Castile a four year old was in the car. Remember children watched George Floyd be suffocated. Remember 7 year old Aiyana Stanley-Jones murdered by police in her sleep. Sonya Massey’s son and daughter. This is the same cookbook, the same evil. I hope folks see.

My friend Mags has written a haunting and challenging essay about hatred and what it teaches us 💔

I'm proud to join over 100 economists in calling on the US to lift sanctions on Venezuela and unfreeze its assets following the June 24 earthquakes. Venezuela must be allowed to recover and rebuild. english.elpais.com/economy-and-...

@themagnificast.bsky.social was kind enough to have me on to talk about my book with @scmpress.bsky.social , Christian leftism, and other justice related things. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/l... @durhamtheology.bsky.social

Really crazy to learn that JK Rowling once worked at Amnesty International as a bilingual researcher but she was fired because she was too busy writing books during work hours instead of documenting war crimes in French speaking Africa.

European and US companies continued to sell pesticides abroad years after they were banned at home. Our reporter traveled to Kenya to learn how farmers are paying the price for these chemical products with their health — and how they’re fighting back.

These numbers (taken from HESA) pertain to Exeter, but would pretty much be similar in other universities in the Anglophone world, and frankly it is the reason higher ed is having a crisis (because given that they have let go of professionarl services colleagues, these admins are all managers):

JK Rowling offers to fund lawsuits against Amnesty is a headline that will cut through.

Any political project which does not have a radical reform of the media landscape as a linchpin cannot be thought of as a serious response to the resurgence of reactionary politics and the polycrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Anti-trans groups are really going with “Trans people are a Jewish conspiracy to undermine the family.” It’s straight out of classical fascism.

I think this is the most accessible version of the Amnesty report, nicely hosted as an archived document by the Internet Archive. archive.org/details/repo...

Didn't take long for For Women Scotland to engage in antisemitic conspiracy theories about George Soros and Amnesty International. Just in case you are wondering if they were a far right org.

Watching Israeli genocide apologists latch on to the attack on Amnesty International really shows how these struggles are intertwined.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
