15 years ago, Britain's streets were the scene of a mass youth revolt. If it had taken place under a Starmer government, we would have ended up in prison. We don't just need slick media performers - we need disruptive movements that can change things 'from below'. For @newstatesman1913.bsky.social

I was asked for a copy of my PhD. First ask since 1997. Low demand! However, it led me down a floppy disc rabbit hole back to my MA and PhD theses: Yorkshire politics in the early eighteenth century richard-hall.org/2025/12/05/m...

No one can stop Palestinians from getting their education. On Saturday, the Islamic University of Gaza opened its doors for in-person classes for the first time in the two years since the Israeli military began its genocide.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Probably the worst of them all is the Ring doorbell. It’s sold as safety, but it’s much more about fear and paranoia in a box that turns you against your community. The more of them in the world, the worse our neighborhoods get. Don’t help the spiral continue. disconnect.blog/a-tech-criti...

The global Palestine solidarity movement is at a crossroads as traditional forms of advocacy have become too easy for governments to ignore. Moving forward, the movement must shift from reactive protests to building lasting political power. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/afte... #Palestine #Israel

Last week on Wonkhe: This week’s card from Hugh Jones’ postbag takes us to a college with an aeronautical bias

Analysts in Israel say Israel is continuing on the same path, despite the ceasefire in Gaza.

Keep track of the victories when they come

BREAKING: The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has issued arrest warrants for 37 Israeli officials, including PM Netanyahu, Defence Minister Israel Katz, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, reports Turkish media. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/lx1bfd

Yes, fellow fungophiles, they are out, and in numbers. #fungifriends

Very useful starting point: here's my slide for the Research Methods class:

Wild how we have structural collapse in multiple knowledge economy sectors at the same time. Journalists and academics are stuck in institutions that force them to compromise on ethics and there are no exit options, much less open jobs in lateral fields

The Women's Budget Groups calculated how many children would be lifted above the poverty line if the two-child limit was scrapped.

honestly fuck, utterly and completely, all of the GenAI cheerleaders

Wow a UK university finally learnt the word scholasticide www.soas.ac.uk/about/news/s...

Trump administration officials reportedly told Israel that Washington will soon unveil a detailed plan for deploying an international stabilization force in Gaza. CENTCOM is leading the design, which includes both a new Palestinian police alongside troops

We remember Rabbi Arthur Waskow, a beloved activist rabbi who was a leading voice connecting Jewish spirituality to justice-oriented politics. He passed away last week at the age of 92.

“My heart is just broken,” the Uber rider said. “Whether anyone is here legally or illegally, they deserve to be treated like a human being and not just taken off the street with no prior notice.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

This is really poor by BBC researchers and producers. Goodwin hasn't been an active academic for a number of years, yet is described as one (thus legitimating his relentless Reform activism and constant bad faith misrepresentation of evidence). 1/?

children no longer being safe trick-or-treating on american streets because of the president is where we're at

Who could have guessed? Actually, everyone who was being honest.

We stand with Palestine, with Birmingham’s communities, and against every attempt to use racism to silence solidarity. If Maccabi Tel Aviv come to Birmingham, they should be met not with welcome but with protest... these monsters have no place anywhere substack.com/home/post/p-...

!! REALLY IMPORTANT - if you receive an email from something that *seems* like my email address but it's not (without the dot in between first and last) it is not me, ignore, delete, and tell me about it

Palestinians will feel understandable relief. The West should feel nothing but shame. Gaza has been obliterated. The territory rendered uninhabitable. Tens of thousands murdered in cold blood. The entire population subjected to starvation tactics. And now, colonial subjugation under Trump and Blair

"By any sensible definition, 'racist' is a word you can't apply to someone who doesn't want Romanians living next door." Says Fraser Nelson, who happily published Taki's Nazi fandom, racist liar Liddle, and white nationalist Douglas Murray. Beyond satire. frasernelson.substack.com/p/who-thinks...

Facts….they’re just snatching up anyone that’s brown don’t even care if they’re legal or not

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

"This entire process was never about me. It was never about any threat to the public, it was never about terrorism – a word used by your government to discredit people you oppress. It was always about Gaza, about what happens if you dare to speak up." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excellent news. Lifting the two-child cap won't end child poverty - but every expert in this area agrees that it is by far the single most important and effective thing the government could do. archive.ph/g7Snp

Sally Rooney won the Sky Arts award for literature for Intermezzo. Her editor collected it for her as she couldn't travel in case of arrest for her support for Palestine Action. "to reiterate... and my solidarity with the people of Palestine." We are proud of her always. #BDS #SolidarityIsAVerb

If you're opposed to anti-fascists, what does that make you again?

From Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham: Happening now: Israeli army raiding the house of Oscar winner Basel Adra after Israeli settlers attacked his village earlier and beat up his family member. Soldiers could try to abduct Basel into one of Israel's prisons which are effectively torture sites

Good to see my colleague @gsamaras.bsky.social on Channel 4 News discussing the dangers posed by the far-right racists marching through London today - and the need for the government to push back on their hatred and lies. [about 8 minutes in] www.channel4.com/programmes/c...

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.
