Special dates: my friend Gaz’s addition (Xmas, his birthday), my birthday (unlikely to forget?), mum & dad’s anniversary (clearly running out of noteworthy dates…)

31st October: River dead

BREAKING: Israel has ordered shut the Allenby Crossing, the only gateway for three million Palestinians in the West Bank to the outside world, “until further notice,” in what appears to be a response to the wave of recognition of Palestine by UN member states including key European allies.

He is talking about my friends, neighbours, family and work colleagues. This man is evil and reminiscent of 1930’s Germany. Why isn’t Starmer condemning him in the strongest possible terms?

#MarxistMonday

An inspiring first day of picketing to kick off our 4 weeks of strike action! Faculty, students, AND a dog or two made an appearance.

New to pickets? Talk to us! @uonucu.bsky.social

Making the entire #UKHE system rely on student debt exacerbates all the inequalities: only those who can afford it can undertake career-building activities, others are scrambling to survive.

It’s shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Strike selfie! On the picket with @uonucu.bsky.social today. Come say hi if you’re Notts based!

We mobilized over 400 actors, comedians, directors, musicians, and writers to condemn the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

Now is the time to oppose government censorship and fiercely defend our First Amendment rights.

Politicians who vilify migrants enable fascism. Pandering to the fears and resentments of those who see migration as a threat fuels the racist riots we see on the streets as well as the racist abuses happening through our institutions. We should be confronting, not coddling, this racism. It’s basic.

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda.

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

We obtained a list of Israelis who graduated from the Royal College of Defence Studies in London.

“Free speech is an inalienable right.”

Unless you want to protest genocide, refer to someone with their correct pronouns, criticise someone for being a bigot, boycott an organisation for their human rights abuses, etc. Then politicians aggressively try to regulate and police speech. It’s perverse.

“migrant” is pretty much a pejorative now. I’ve even seen them used “suspected migrants” like it’s a crime. I mean, my mum is a migrant you racist scum

There is no "migration problem". The problem is racism.

Privately educated people (7%) still dominate the UK's most influential roles.

Back on the coach after sun, rain, hail and a kettle of tens of thousands of rampaging big man fascists, what a day!

Fascists get scratches 🐈‍⬛

Trade union bloc is on the go in the march against racism

On our way from Dudley to London for the counter-mobilisation against Tommy Robinson. For the moment the sun is shining 😎
