The Cat That Slept for a Thousand Years at Manchester Museum. Touched by all the messages I received in the last few weeks of good folk spotting my two purr-fect beauties on gallery wall! 😻😻

If you're feline in the mood, catch the cats before they fall back into a catnap for another millenium! 🐈🐈‍⬛

The image features a light green background with various graphics and bold text. At the top right, there is a red and green watermelon slice. Below it, black and red text reads "Stop Israel-US Imperialism!!!" An arrow points down from this text to a red phrase, "The liberation of Palestine & the sovereignty of Iran are connected struggles!" Another arrow raises up from this phrase to a pomegranate on the lower left. The pomegranate is detailed with seeds spilling out. On the lower right, larger black text states, "End Genocide in GAZA! Stop War in IRAN!" A logo in the bottom right corner includes a mortarboard and text.

Not having to wear masks is the essence of American freedom. Here’s why my agents cover their faces while kidnapping students on college campuses.

Rumeysa Ozturk was kidnapped in plain sight & sent to Louisiana to be locked in the same detention center Mahmoud Khalil was sent to.

She's a peaceful protestor, grad student, & my constituent who has a right to free speech & due process.

Now she's a political prisoner. Free her now.

Speak up for Momodou Taal. Your silence will not protect you.
Academics outside the US esp have a moral duty to publicly come out in support and organise. ICE will disappear Momodou Taal.
Your trips to the US can wait, seriously!

He Sued Trump Over Free Speech. Then ICE Demanded He Turn Himself In.
Cornell student Momodou Taal’s lawyers said the demand was “retribution” for his lawsuit against the crackdown on pro-Palestine speech.

*No Other Land* airs on *Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March.* Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.

Absolute privilege to hear about the work done by @darrenchetty.bsky.social to promote anti-racist education in the area of Philosophy for Children. We loved hosting Darren at @official-uom.bsky.social and were pleased that as usual our seminar was attended by students, staff & activists!

My Museum colleagues boldly & beautifully curated an event honouring Palestinian stories & voices pointing to our responsibility as cultural workers, educators, human beings, custodians of artefacts & stories. Our values - care, imagination and inclusion mean we must keep talking of #Palestine 🇵🇸 💚

The Educational Bookshop in Jerusalem has been raided by Israeli security forces. Mahmoud and Ahmad Mina have been taken to custody. Anyone who’s visited Palestine knows how serious this is for freedom of speech and cultural organising in Palestine and Israel.
