Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

🚨 Strike ballot opens at University of Essex

Management plans to close Southend campus and axe 400 jobs.

All staff were told they could lose their jobs as they broke up for Christmas.

This is academic vandalism and we will not accept it.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

It is not easy to qualify for disability benefits.

The process can take years, is exhausting and dehumanizing.

It’s designed to make people give up and/or die before there’s a payout.

This is why disabled people say they don’t owe you an explanation.

Happy hump day lovely phone family. Hope you're all well.
Today is International Animal Rights Day. Until we start treating animals and the planet with the reverence they deserve, we'll never be the best version of humanity.
Have a beautiful day everyone, and of course #HaveCourageAndBeKind ❤️

On this Spurs day in...1988

Gazza puts on a show in this 2-0 win over Millwall. We were starting to witness his class on a regular basis.

Its good timing as on tomorrow's @spursnostalgiapod.bsky.social pod we're talking Gazza (+ Lineker) with Tim Vickery and Guy Butters.

The Spurs-Slavia Pride flag story has some nuance but at its heart it's about a set of bigoted fans getting their way. It also exposes, again, that too much of what sport does in its DEI policies is actual virtue signalling. Either you believe in a principle and stick by it or you don't.

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣
