Just an hour and 20 minutes left to sign, people. If you haven't done so yet, it only takes a few seconds!

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

Today's headlines should be: Two nuclear powers (one of whose de facto head of state is wanted for crimes against humanity) illegally bomb a non nuclear power on the pretext it *almost* has WMD.

On Saturday, our friends in #Dublin are unlikely to be met with teargas because they are protesting in #Ireland and not "the land of the free" where not only does it #tasteslikefascism, it is fascism. #NoKings #NoTryants #NoICE #standuptofascism @indivisible.org www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Again, I cannot express how little I expected someone would usurp my position as "guy who takes ketamine in the company of a president".

Finishing up writing my paper today as we speak! Really looking forward to the conference & being back at @whaireland.bsky.social where I kick-started my conference paper giving way back in 1990 😮. Can't wait to hear fab line-up of papers indicating women's history is alive & well. #womenshistory

Media coverage on spending in the arts needs to be balanced w the HUGE value for money that public funding provides for our communities, society & economy in this country. Politicians talking about being ‘furious’ would do well to take account of the many projects & institutions that are… #speirgorm

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers | Rebecca Shaw

Every innocent life lost in this war is senseless. But those killed in liminal space between ceasefire being agreed/implemented? Just imagine surviving 468 days of this nightmare, and falling now. In an airstrike launched due to little more than muscle memory 😔 www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
