The legacy of this Labour party will be facilitating genocide and criminalising peaceful protest. Fuck them. #yourparty

British surgeon Nick Maynard explains how Israeli soldiers target Palestinian children at food distribution sites in Gaza, changing the location of gunshot wounds at times, such as aiming for the head one day, the chest the next, followed by the legs or genitals on other days. 🤬🤬🤬

Historians: this is a worrying development. Historians use the Hansard to analyze what was said in parliamentary discussions. If the Hansard is subject to editing out things that are politically unacceptable at the time, we (and future historians) have a problem.

There is currently an exhibition of my research in the Robert Frost Library at Amherst College which showcases some key findings from their archive of Indigenous literature. I was attempting to tell a short history of Indigenous automobility in literature using just four items: #envhum
