For UK readers, we’re not Germany in 1933, but around 1922. We’ve had arson of refugee hotels and mosques, Operation Raise the Colours harassment and Tommy Robinson’s London rally, which Elon Musk told to incite violence and bring down the government. A Musk incited beer hall putsch is on the way.

A meme for the modern university...

I agree.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

This should be good!😂

Who could have guessed that in Trump's America a rabid home crowd would descend to new depths of nationalist fervour? Mindless chants of 'U - S - A' are part of the MAGA brand, but obscene chants against an individual opponent are disgusting. And, it seems, counter-productive.

Migration to Australia is restricted to skilled, family, humanitarian, defence and student visas. An increase in one category is typically balanced with a decrease in another as needed. The terms ‘unplanned’ or ‘uncontrolled’ migration is dishonest, racist dog whistling from the right.

It's time our politicians kicked their US habit www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

WHATEVER could have caused this??? It's a MYSTERY.

It remains a mystery why nobody has wound up in jail after the illegal Robodebt scandal.

The university employers association has said they are coming after members' hard-won redundancy provisions, and have again refused to take responsibility for their systemic wage theft. They are going to find out that they will have a fight on their hands. Join today at nteu.au/join

Prinsenvlag, VOC-logo's, nationalistische leuzen, hysterische opruiing, journalisten en politiemannen aangevallen, ruiten partijkantoor D66 ingegooid. VVD-er Heinen: 'Laten we niet alles politiek maken.' De VVD is een verachtelijke partij.

We’ve put uni governance in the headlines. The Senate committee has backed reforms on pay caps, transparency, and stronger staff and student voices. Now governments must act. Imagine what more we can win with more of us: nteu.au/join

Australia is, effectively, being franchised by American Christian Nationalists, and every nut bag far-right politician is jumping on board. There's a lot of foreign money backing these people and I fear for our democracy. We're following America into a very dark place.

"If the ANU is not committed to research that tells the Australian story then well may we ask, what is the point of a national university?" theconversation.com/the-anu-was-...

“America has no place for political violence.” ICE kidnappings are political violence. Each custody death is an assassination. Soldiers on the streets are political violence. Every US-funded murder in Gaza is political violence. Blowing up boats of civilians on the high seas is political violence.

OK this latest press release from the ICC has seriously pissed me off. The VERY FIRST World Cup in 1973 was entirely umpired by women. Maybe pause a minute from puffing yourselves up to read a history book? (I can recommend a good one... 😂) www.icc-cricket.com/media-releas...

Justin Webb just referred on Today to "platforms like Bluesky, where you can see the celebration of the killing" of Charlie Kirk. What I'm seeing on here is overwhelming condemnation; despair at the violence of US politics; alarm at where this might go; & calls for equal horror at other shootings.

The departure of Genevieve Bell from the ANU vice-chancellorship (though not from the university) does not bring an end to the crisis. Chancellor Julie Bishop is still there, and the plan for closures and job cuts remains. We must support the staff and students in their battle to reverse both. #NTEU

On Monday, the Senate inquiry into university governance will hold its third hearing. Four of NSW's worst VCs will face a Senate grilling as the campaigns to save hundreds of jobs at those branches ramp up. Have your say 👉 betterunis.nteu.au/inquiry/ #BetterUniversities

The question is not whether Australian vice-chancellors should be well-paid. It is whether their pay should greatly exceed that of other senior public leaders, without evidence of their contribution to building the capacity of the institutions they are responsible for s ...

"NSW locks in great koala national park and brings in immediate ban on logging" I'm sure the Great Koala will be delighted!

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Your regular reminder that every year the Australian people subsidise private schools to the tune of $22 billion while the public school down the road from you will be waiting another decade for its bare minimum funding.

We’re delighted that Cricket Scotland has chosen the National Library to be the new home of their archive 🏏 The records cover the history of the Scottish Cricket Union and Cricket Scotland, from 1908 to the present day.

The European Cricket Network is pausing its events after Dream 11 pulls out as sponsor due to the Indian government's ban on online gambling. Impact on associate cricket potentially huge. More from me here: www.cricketeurope.com/DATABASE/ART...

It's all very well blaming government policies, and they must take some of the blame for the parlous state of Australia's universities. But for senior executives to ignore the mote in their own eye, of excessive salaries and top-heavy structures, is outrageous. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke on Netanyahu. “Strength is not measured by how many people you can blow up or how many children you can leave hungry.”

Six Republican-led states sending National Guard troops to D.C. under the guise of a fake crisis. Texas Republicans using police to impose a rigged map on Texans and steal an election. Congressional Republicans funneling taxpayer dollars into kidnappings and concentration camps. This is fascism.

Is there a single Australian who gives a rat’s shit what Bibi Netanyahu thinks? Netanyahu is a corrupt, loveless, narcissistic, irredeemable armchair warlord whose entire approach to leadership is a desire to escape personal accountability by abandoning moral authority. He is garbage, and fuck him.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
