OKM on laatinut vastineen Suomen kielen ja kulttuurin toiminnan alasajosuunnitelmista. Tässä (ja muualla) implikoidaan, ettei Suomen tukemaa pedagogisesti laadukasta opetustoimintaa enää tarvita, koska digiä on. Ja mitkä ovat "kestävät yhteistyömuodot", jos rahoitusta ei ole? okm.fi/-/skk-opetus...

Toivoa herättäviä sanoja Unkarin vaalivoittajalta Ukrainan suhteen. Vielä kun vähän innokkaammin ja rivakammin irtautuisi Venäjän kaasusta ja öljystä niin toivoa heräisi vieläkin enemmän.

Uusimmassa Acatiimi-lehdessä haastattelussa mahtava kollegani Veera Ehrlén Nuorten Tiedeakatemian hallituksesta. Esillä tärkeitä asioita tutkimustyöstä ja nuorten tutkijoiden vaikuttamismahdollisuuksista. Kannattaa lukea!

#8April calls for real solidarity. For too long, many of our comrades have been selective in their solidarity for other racialized & minority groups. If we expect others to stand up for us, we must do the same for them. The far-right is not someone else's emergency 👉 www.errc.org/news/interna...

Hyvää pääsiäistä!

Hyvä puheenvuoro Opetushallituksen lyhytnäköistä säästösuunnitelmaa vastaan

Hyvä kirjoitus siitä, miten slovakianunkarilaisten tilanne ja Slovakiassa yhä voimassa oleva diskriminoiva lainsäädäntö heijastuvat Unkarin vaalikamppailuun.

Hallitus valmistelee Suomeen maksullisia tutkintoja avoimeen yliopistoon. Onko niille tarvetta ja löytyykö maksajia? Hallituksen suunnitelmat ovat monella tavoin ongelmallisia, todetaan 7 järjestön yhteisessä kannanotossa:  unifi.fi/jarjestot-av...

Russia bombed Druzhba. Ukraine pumped 35,000 tonnes of its own crude through the pipeline to stop the fire. Hungary's MOL accepted it all. Then Budapest spent five weeks calling it a Ukrainian blockade—and used it to block €90billion in EU aid to Kyiv.

Georgia's regime shut down its best university, criminalized foreign funding, and made it illegal to protest on a sidewalk more than once—all in weeks. Georgians have protested daily for 450 days. Regime's response: go after everything at once. Universities, NGOs, pharmacies, car imports, sidewalks
