This is institutional capture to redefine knowledge/facts as threats and transform political ideology into social norm. I'll address this in my "Power, Harm and Justice" module. The consolidation of autocratic rule unfolds when educators recalibrate their speech for safety. #AcademicSky

Trump's regime has darkened the moral horizon in US. A few judges broke the spell and finally breathed through conscience. Yet the battle is not over and queer resistance must stay at the frontlines of this moral struggle. #AcademicSky

“L’arte è morta, Venezia è la sua tomba.” Art is dead, Venice is its tomb. I saw it on the wall this morning. This mirrors the global condition of culture under neoliberalism. Commercialisation and the fast-consumption “Insta-pic” generation have hollowed art into performance for visibility.

My latest blog post, "Fear and Kindness on the Road to Calgary,” jeffreyianross.com/fear-and-kin... #AmericanIndians #FirstNations #Indigenous #NativeAmericans #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

Shameful and inhuman! When a state starts hunting the voiceless and the most vulnerable to fill its quotas, it tells you everything about its moral collapse.

At the @eui-eu.bsky.social today as jury member for a brilliant PhD viva! Brian O’Connor presented an outstanding dissertation on queer activism against the mafia. Congratulations, Dr. O’Connor! #AcademicSky

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

My latest blog post, “America’s Police Chiefs Must Speak Out,” jeffreyianross.com/americas-pol... #crime #immigrationenforcement #ICE #lawenforcement #police #policeadministration #policechief #protest

Read the new #openaccess article by Francesco Rigoli on polorisation among generations in the US, published by International Social Science Journal. #AcademicSky "Neuroticism Is Linked With Liberal #Ideology in Young, but not Old, People in the #UnitedStates" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

'What we need to understand is why common knowledge of something morally execrable isn’t enough to result in co-ordinated social action.' Jessie Munton: Can communal beliefs be reconciled with empirical facts?

ICE has been targeting young kids for months, separating families and instilling fear. Tell Congress to pass legislation ensuring no child is arrested without a warrant and coerced to give up their rights by immigration agents.

"The most common response among men aged 18-25, as with their female peers, is to state that they would never consider voting for Reform." Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte & Emilia Belknap argue that most British young men reject the right https://ukandeu.ac.uk/most-british-young-men-reject-the-far-right/

NEW from me: Political hostility, high visa fees and (in the case of the UK) stagnant incomes are making the UK and US less attractive destinations for top international talent. That steep decline in the appeal of moving to the US after 2016 is 👀

A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...

My husband, a true Palermitan, somehow manages to outshine his own city. Walking through Palermo with him means stopping every five minutes because he knows everyone, everywhere. He swears he is showing me around when I took this pic., but I'm sure the city lights up because he is home. #HomeisHe

"ICE agents utilize key tactics honed through the family policing system." "To build long-term sustainable challenges to ICE and to family policing, we must see them as intertwined and part of [..] the same carceral state." #Illinois #USA #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

In person & online! A talk about our newly opened exhibition 'John Le Carré: Tradecraft': visit.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/event/oct25/... Co-curators Jessica Douthwaite & Federico Varese & the Bodleian's Head of Public Engagement will discuss JLC's archive & the development of this exciting exhibition

If you haven't been to @bodleian.ox.ac.uk #Tradecraft exhibition yet it is well worth a visit. Splendid to behold! Thanks to Richard Ovenden, co-curators - Federico Varese and Jessica Douthwaite and Mick Herron.

@debcoles13.bsky.social “These new measures undermine the rule of law & the way it applies to police officers, increasing impunity & injustice. All the evidence shows that what is needed is exactly the opposite" @bschcnetwork.bsky.social @waylon18.bsky.social mailchi.mp/inquest/chri...

After submitting a FOIA request UKRI, I obtained success rates by three grant call scheme and I can only say that I am disheartened by the results: - AHRC Responsive Mode 2025: 2% - ESRC New Investigator Grant 2025: 1% - ESRC Research Grant Round 2025: 1%

Well done to this professor for trolling the NYT...in the NYT. “What a travesty,” said Bennett L. Gershman, an ethics professor at Pace University. “The ethical conflict is just so basic and fundamental, you don’t need a law professor to explain it.”

CHICAGO: “They took my son. He’s only 16. I just want my baby back.”

Shame, shame, shame University of Virginia! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Prof.Gerald Roche ( @geraldroche.bsky.social ) shows that language loss in Tibet is not accidental but a result of state policy rooted in sovereignty. His research reveals how state power dismantles cultural and linguistic diversity in the name of national unity.

Prof. Ernesto Castañeda analyzes the mass anti-deportation protests in L.A. sparked by ICE raids. His article shows how citizens and immigrants united in defense of democracy and human rights. @drernestocast.bsky.social @theimmigrationlab.bsky.social

Prof. Michael Davis draws alarming parallels between democratic backsliding in the U.S. and Beijing’s authoritarian crackdown in Hong Kong, warning that the erosion of judicial independence and civil liberties signals a dangerous shift toward authoritarianism.

Under the plan, MAGA allies would be installed at the IRS criminal investigative division, where they would “exert firmer control over the unit and weaken the involvement of IRS lawyers in criminal investigations.” The administration is putting together a list of targets. trib.al/jAKDLY1

It's Prison Banned Books Week — a week dedicated to shining a light on the widespread denial of incarcerated people's freedom to read. We all have a First Amendment right to read and receive information, in and out of prison. Censorship has no place in a democracy.

October in Lincoln is pure magic! I took some photos this morning. Golden leaves have carpeted the parks. The sunlight was filtering through the old trees, and the cathedral watching over it. #Lincoln #October

Inflatable costumes aplenty as millions march against Trump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Beyond the costumes at No Kings, Democratic leadership may want to check the signs to understand the vibe of their base right now (hint: it’s not health care)

Commentary: Where is the line between “democracy” and “fascism”? Since President Donald Trump’s return to power nine months ago, that question has been posed again and again.

Sanders: I have been asked over and again. Bernie, great ideas but how are you going to pay for them? Great question, thanks for asking. And here is the answer… the top 1%, and large profitable corporations will pay their fair share in taxes

When nonviolent social and pro-democracy movements reach a certain critical mass, they overwhelmingly tend to succeed. Read our democracy-by-the numbers analysis of how protests can break an autocrat’s illusion of invincibility: https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/whats-so-special-about-35-percent

Putin's Budapest visit has clear aims: expose EU weakness by letting an indicted war criminal travel; let Hungary flout the ICC's Rome Statute; boost Orbán before elections; pressure Trump on Tomahawks; fracture NATO and EU unity. So we should not let it happen.
