Trying to open a new campus while cutting jobs. Not a good look. Our members should not lose their livelihoods because of management can't handle the finances. 14 days of strike action started today at @newcastleucu.bsky.social 👇 With hundreds of jobs at risk we must #STOPtheCUTS.

It’s getting very authoritarian in the US very fast And these are the people who supposedly campaigned to - checks notes - ‘protect free speech’

Time to actually take digital sovereignty seriously. The trouble is this will be vastly expensive. Europe needs a digital Marshall Plan . But without US money 😩

"we have documented a troubling lack of transparency, and failure to answer questions from unions, governance bodies and staff. These continue apace: the modelling and justifications for the £140m figure remain shrouded in secrecy." www.ucuedinburgh.org.uk/blog/8gaanhy...

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

Each horrific event gets more people to mobilize. There are people who were sitting on the sidelines until this afternoon and they will no longer be sitting on the sidelines. We are stronger than we were yesterday. Before you catastrophize, remember this

The Ukrainian government has a list of places where you can donate to the war effort here. I personally just donated $100: war.ukraine.ua/donate/ Slava Ukraini.

Es war ein Problem mit Ansage, nun ist der Frust rund um den Globus groß. Die kurzen Fristen bei der vorgezogenen Bundestagswahl führen zu Ärger bei Wählenden im Ausland. Wahlunterlagen kommen zu spät an - oder gar nicht www.tagesschau.de/inland/bunde...

Trump on DOGE: We’re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is still there. You know that? We’re going to go into Fort Knox. You know about that? We hope everything is fine with Fort Knox. But we’re going to go to Fort Knox and make sure the gold is still there.

We have to uproot the seedling of dictatorship the moment we see them. We must push back against the tyranny. youtu.be/odFG5YupiAE

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

300 jobs at risk at Newcastle University 🚨 Our members should not pay the price for vice-chancellors' inability to manage finances. @newcastleucu.bsky.social say enough is enough.

This feels so relevant right now.

A point to consider.

We are nearing a precipice.

Spot on.

No one is immune from disability. It can happen to anyone at anytime, regardless of how 'young and healthy' you are. Stop believing you will be the exception, and start engaging in disability justice. It's far easier to fight for better support and treatment while you still have your health.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
