"Muslim sectarianism" is when the majority of a diverse community vote for a working class woman representing a party led by a gay Jewish guy 💚🌱

My favourite bit about ethnonationalist Matt Goodwin complaining that he lost to Muslim sectarianism is that Muslims voted for a party led by a gay Jewish man. Sectarianism eh.

Beautiful news out of Gorton & Denton! All you fascists bound to lose! 💚

🎉🎉After more than a month blockading Cargill's grain terminal, Indigenous peoples in Brazil have won a major victory. President Lula has revoked Decree 12,600/2025 🧵👇

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Here's a counterpoint to this grim revival of climate eugenics at Essex (lots of other great research against populationism is available): journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

West Papua is being erased at gunpoint. Indonesian National Armed Forces are deployed not to protect forests or people, but to clear rainforests, secure bulldozers, silence Indigenous resistance, and turn one of Earth’s last intact ecosystems into sugar, rice, and biofuel fields.

Happy to be back at Warwick with wonderful people today! 🌱

Just out paper which might be of interest to those who work on Urban Geograpy, Geographies of Home, and affective thinking (especially ambivalence). It is a paper that considers the wonderful Iman Mersal's poetic oeuvre as a form of geography. academic.oup.com/isagsq/artic...

The president’s address at @isanet.bsky.social was peacefully disrupted to draw institutional attention to the issue of democratisation in ISA governance and the acknowledgement of scholasticide in how we conduct research ‘as normal’ #isa2025

This petition, asking the American Historical Association to rescind its veto of the Resolution to Oppose Scholasticide in Gaza, will close tomorrow. Current, former, and non-members of the AHA can sign.

The maga-ification of Labour continues. It seems like the party’s leadership is unable to have a single original thought, instead just pandering and copying the most rightwing American government www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"What about southern Lebanon?" "Is is part of it. all of it. Even parts of Syria, parts of Iraq, even Iran! Its huge!"

What's happening at the International Studies Association (ISA)? A whole catalogue of censorship & punitive actions against sections & caucuses by the ISA leadership is silencing democratic discussion, especially among Global South & marginalised members.. medium.com/@bdsatisa/ce...
