Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

Still beaming from teaching with this today - it’s incredible to witness the ease with which students make sense of complex theory when it comes to applying it to the most urgent contexts. Thanks for writing it @pashukanist.bsky.social @rafeefz.bsky.social and Adam!

Comrades, registration for the twenty-second annual Historical Materialism Conference in London is now open. The plenaries and programme will be released soon. Join us this year (and every year) in November!

👆💯 Any day now, oil giant Equinor is expected to reapply to develop Rosebank: the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK. Now it’s up to this government to make the right call and reject Rosebank. 👉 Join the #StopRosebank Day of Action, Sat 6th Sep. Link in bio.

Stop rolling out the welcome mat for fascists by pretending that refusal is beyond human capacities. It isn’t. It’s just hard and costly so we would have to do it together

There is still time to sign up for what I am sure will be a fantastic event!

St Andrews staff & students, please sign this open letter calling on the university to sever links with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and all other Israeli universities and if you're not connected to St Andrews, please publicise this anyway. thank you! www.ucustandrews.org/end-links-wi...

This is an attempt to remove trans people from public life and no other spin on it should be accepted.

The deadline for our Edinburgh conference has been extended to July 22nd. So there’s still ample time to submit something. Join us in Scotland!

Any help on this would be appreciated. We've been inundated with enquiries we cannot answer from academics, public sector workers and journalists about what they can and cannot say. One writer has been advised to temporarily stop promoting their book as it includes a chapter on Palestine Action

This scheme is still open, and includes Palestine:

It’s difficult to put into words but I just don’t think calling the UK government hypocritical is what is going on. The military industrial complex is not a democratic entity - it doesn’t matter if it’s John Healy or Ben Wallace at the helm, the wheels will keep turning, and that’s even more scary

Submit your abstracts! If you have any questions, feel free to message me :)

For all those wanting to follow members of the Historical Materialism Editorial Board, Corresponding Editorial Board, and Advisory Board, we have put together a little starter pack...

In light of the AHA's unconscionable veto of the members' vote, it's worth reading this excellent & prescient article by Hajir & Qato on how scholasticide operates (precisely via such institutional silences & silencing): www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The full call for papers for this year's London conference is now on our (newly-redesigned) website. Take a look and send us an abstract when you get a moment!

There is just no getting around this bit from the latest Chotiner interview. Doctors Without Borders has never seen this before: the number of civilian casualties, the inescapability of death, the fact that everyone knows what is happening BUT IT DOESN'T STOP.

Thank you to the 600 presenters and 800+ people that came to this year's Historical Materialism London conference. Lots of spirited and comradely critical debate over the four packed days. Now that we have had the morning off, it must be time to start planning for next year!

I've had a lot of convos w/ folks confused about the crackdown in Germany against the most basic support for Palestinians. This is deeply tied to Germany's Holocaust remembrance culture, which happens to be something I study. Here's a thread of resources in English for those who want to learn. 1/

One of the very few commentaries from the German Left allowing space for solidarity to Palestine
