Tory Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride refuses several times to condemn Elon Musk's inflammatory call for violence in the UK. Joining his leader Kemi Badenoch in being cowardly & craven appeasing the violent politics of the far right. #bbclaurak #trevorphillips

Ex LibDem leader Jo Swinson: "It is a genocide ..." #trevorphillips: "... The Israelis would of course contest that account of events"

Between the racism, the fossil fuel destruction, the anti-vaxing and the development-killing corruption, the scientific analysis of Trumpism is that it’s 💯garbage…

Fascinating to read a piece demanding further marketisation to solve the escalating crisis caused by previous rounds of marketisation which never quite grasps how the strategic function of specific institutions can force governments into panicked nationalisation rather than Schumpeterian destruction

Listening to Gerald Baker on @skynewsrss.bsky.social makes you question whether humanity deserves saving. #TrevorPhillips

“The only argument from ignorance that science permits is caution, more research, and care as appropriate actions when something is truly unknown.” zenodo.org/records/1706... 16/🧵

The irony at genocide’s heart.

This is a part of the world that dominates our front pages & yet about which we learn remarkably little at school: the history of Gaza rarely makes it onto the curriculum, we are not taught its story in movies or documentaries. Yet it is something we badly need to know to understand current events

think if you're broadly a centrist and were suuuuuper concerned about attacks on free speech from the left and so you decided to give the right a hearing then you need to realise you were taken for QUITE the ride (and don't really have anyone to blame but yourself)

TFW you thought the liberal order couldn’t sink any lower… then you watch - a pedophile received flatteries over a State banquet - while saying the British Empire was the blueprint for liberty #belonging #peakcivilisation #wft youtu.be/KB9Z0d_t21Q?...

More people have been arrested for this Epstein protest than for the Epstein child sex ring.

1/6 Marking my return to this network, I want to share with you some great and advanced news (relative to the other network). We have developed a research project on sustainable and green taxonomies, that has been approved by Open Society Foundation!

Genocide is not solely about the murder of a people, but about the systematic destruction of their intangible cultural heritage, so as to make it as though they never existed at all. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

Who owns Britain? How does privatisation of essentials services like energy & water shape your life? How does it impact the cost-of-living crisis? We’ve been digging into the data — what we’ve found will shock you. 🧵 

A must-read this morning - JRF's @alfie-stirling.bsky.social on the crisis in UK living standards, and how politicians can (and must) respond

"We are told that AI is inevitable, that we must adapt or be left behind. But universities are not tech companies. Our role is to foster critical thinking, not to follow industry trends uncritically." www.ru.nl/en/research/...

Hope UK university will follow. “Our duty as educators is the cultivation of critical thinking and intellectual honesty, and it is not our role either to police or promote cheating, nor to normalise our students' and mentees' avoidance of deep thought.” #academia

Four people were arrested for an “unauthorised projection”. This is apparently what counts as a crime now www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Given growing discussion around wealth taxes in the UK it’s interesting to see how such taxes have become significantly less popular across the OECD over the last 30 years on.ft.com/47N84Ob

"academic writing is () a form of thinking, a mode of inquiry () a site of intellectual labor. To hand over that labor to machines is not just to risk the erosion of academic integrity, but also means to forgo the very practices through which knowledge is produced." link.springer.com/article/10.1...

In a world riven by inequality and devastated by climate + ecological crisis, what would it take for "green industrial policy" to empower the working class in Global North + South, and be truly green? New @cplusc.bsky.social report by me and Isabel Estevez (1/3) t.co/78sQQe4d1g

📉 Voices from the global south are becoming increasingly critical of the west. The UK must rethink how it engages with the world or trust will erode and isolation will follow. Read the latest from us here www.ippr.org/articles/reset-building-modern-partnerships

A growing number of Labour voices now demanding Keir Starmer start taking on Elon Musk and the far-right. Here Labour MP Noah Law writes for Byline Times on why it's time for the Government to quit Twitter and start treating Musk as the 'foreign extremist' he now is bylinetimes.com/2025/09/15/m...

"Decolonising knowledge is not merely about diversifying classrooms or curricula; it demands rethinking the very metrics of excellence, for if these remain tied to Western-centric, market-driven logics, inclusion alone will change little." ✍️ From our blog www.developmentresearch.eu?p=2349

This, a thousand times.

New York Times é a sombra de um jornal. Eu vejo esse tipo de enquadramento não-noticioso e sei quem foi o jornalista que escreveu. "Brazil already considers" teu cu.

They're readying themselves for Trump's visit. But we've hit a fork in the road on this, and Starmer is making the wrong choice. Being nice and hoping to ride out Trump's madness is probably no longer a workable strategy.

Brazil's Supreme Court has sentenced former President Jair Bolsonaro to more than 27 years in prison for plotting a military coup following his election defeat in 2022.

Don’t whitewash genocide. Collective punishment is a war crime and a key tactic in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. 1/3🧵

Life in late British capitalism - capital poisoning our rivers and pleading for subsidies if we chose to die when we want.

What really needs to be banned are social media algorithms. This is just telling kids they can't have digital crack cocaine until they're 16.
