Lebanon has declared a national day of mourning after Israeli attacks killed at least 254 people in a single day.

They bombed 100 Lebanese targets in 10 minutes. Less than a day into the "cease fire".

I am not invested in the left as a briar patch of subcultures. I am invested in the left as an ecosystem of political projects, many of which have overlapping interests and concerns. These approaches are not interchangeable and are sometimes diametrically opposed.

Dünya halklarının bu alçağı ve bunun gibileri bertaraf edecek bir yol bulamamaları, insanlığın bu çağdaki en büyük utancıdır! #warcriminal

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

The FBI is “proactively” identifying “domestic terrorists,” including anyone with critical views on “capitalism,” “Americanism,” “Christianity,” “migration,” “race,” “gender,” and “family.” Essentially, every single Bluesky user. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbis-new-p...

‘None of us are free until all of us are free’: Introducing collective liberation as a praxis-oriented framework and concept into social psychology New from @schreiber-julia.bsky.social @yarazebian.bsky.social & @metesefauysal.bsky.social bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In Turkey, there's no dramatic war to keep the world interested. Just a slow descent into darkness -- at least in regard to media coverage -- while many experienced reporters leave the country one after another. Journalist Hannah Lucinda Smith, describes it well: engelsbergideas.com/essays/istan...

This is so, so well-articulated.

Great work by @metesefauysal.bsky.social leading this well-cited paper. bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

People just haven't tuned into how bad this could go for the EU and UK. Reality hasn't quite hit them yet.

A Hadza collaborator of mine suddenly lost his wife earlier this week. They had two young children. I am seeking to raise a small amount of money to help Endeko cover funeral expenses and short-term childcare costs. Any small donations would be appreciated www.gofundme.com/f/support-en...

Why go on a protest march? To demonstrate to the authorities, to build a movement, and to show opponents we are many you are few. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Universities spend £££ to attract & retain what they allege are the best senior managers who then spend more on paying consultants. Those consultants sell the same solutions to multiple institutions. = cuts to staff who make universities work Spend the money on staff www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

What does it mean to live through historical rupture? This course explores war, displacement, and crisis through performance ethnography, using Playback and Documentary Theatre to transform lived experience into collaborative, research-based performance. Register: offuniversity.org/current-cour...

Keep hearing people say protests against first Trump administration were ineffective. Evidence suggests otherwise.

Staff at Aberdeen, Dundee, Heriot-Watt and Strathclyde universities strike to save jobs and possible compulsory redundancies #StopTheCuts #SaveHE news.stv.tv/west-central...

We (Colin Davis, @samuelfinnerty.bsky.social & I) are happy to share our Open Access article 'Assessing claims of counterproductivity of Just Stop Oil's civil disobedience': www.nature.com/articles/s44...

'The surging number of redundancies in UK higher education could undermine entire research fields as networks of collaborators disappear, according to an academic whose project fell through when a colleague’s job at another institution was put at risk.' 1/2

We are inviting proposals for an online course on War, Memory, and Gender to be taught by scholars at risk. Check the details of the application requirements, what you should submit to apply and how here on the call page ℹ️ offuniversity.org/call-for-cou... 📅 Deadline: April 13th, 2026

Solidarity to all our colleagues at Heriot-Watt, also on strike today to say no to compulsory redundancies.

We’ll be gathering outside the Tower Building this morning from 10-11am to ask why the University of Dundee is continuing with Jon cuts and forecasting redundancies. Anyone can join us to support this peaceful rally. Front of the Tower Building, 10-11am. #NoMoreJobCuts #SaveDundeeUni #SaveHE

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

We will take strike action next week unless the University rules out compulsory redundancies. The executives we have lost confidence in continue to forecast the need for another £20m of savings. All from staff losses. We’ve already lost over 600 colleagues. When will the job cuts end?

A really important message. When we strike, it’s a collective action. We give up our wages and make other personal sacrifices because we know that we are stronger together. Our voices are amplified by every single member, colleague and student who joins us on the picket line.

As a sociologist, this extremely painful and angering. As a sociologist, we've been suggesting this might happen for awhile now. What discipline will be next? #AcademicSky #Sociology #AcademicFreedom

(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed. (2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind. (3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.
