‘If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city loses its university?
When Essex University’s Southend campus opened, it was a message of hope for a ‘left behind’ UK seaside town. Its closure will be felt far beyond its 800 students, some of whom will not get their degr...

If you feel "hamstrung" by human rights laws and by health and safety laws - you are the person those laws were designed to protect us against. You need to be obstructed by those laws. Also, she's lying.

I have never witnessed such a spiderweb of collective action, just average everyday people showing up. Not the heroism we’ve been sold by the movies but collective heroism, a fabric of care and resistance to fascism.

'Palestine 36' director says film is about 'refusal to disappear'
The director of Oscar-shortlisted film "Palestine 36" said her big-budget production about a crucial but little-known Arab rebellion is a statement about Palestinians "refusal to disappear".

Un petit-fils de déporté juif qui appelle à des « rafles » contre des étrangers en France (soutenant les actions de Trump, considérant les exécutions extrajudiciaires comme "des injustices inévitables"). L’inversion des valeurs est totale. Le fascisme n’est pas à nos portes : il est dans la maison.

Dans le Minnesota, ICE a tué deux personnes blanches, et il y a là une leçon sur le suprémacisme blanc et la xénophobie d'Etat, qui peuvent tout à fait faire des victimes parmi les personnes blanches : ces dernières peuvent être mises à mort si elles s'opposent au déploiement du racisme d'Etat.

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
