The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

Absolutely would have been fine with it being less enthralling TBQH

"Republicans want a disruptive president, but who’s being disrupted really matters — and if it’s the government or institutions that many Republicans believe are hostile to them...rationalizing their own constitutional violations as fighting fire with fire" www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/o...

US Schools “are watching Columbia with alarm; many fear a demand for similar concessions. Their primary concern: without freedom to follow their intellectual curiosity, the discoveries and innovations that fuel the U.S.’s economy will decline or even grind to a halt”.

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Agreed. It'll also be interesting to figure out whether there's a pattern in avoidance--so are 'absolute' rights avoided where a case can be determined by assessment of a qualified right? does avoidance only happen where violation is otherwise found? etc. V interesting stuff from Alan.

This is a dangerous, cruel move that will result in entirely foreseeable physical and psychological harm.

If this evening's launch at The Barber Institute of Fine Art is anything to go by, this book is a tour de force. I've just made my order and really look forward to learning much more about the artist and about the social histories of intimacy and domesticity in his art.

I am incredibly grateful to the 4 reviewers whose lovely comments grace the back cover.😊

This morning’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital has put this last major health facility in North #Gaza out of service. Initial reports indicate that some key departments were severely burnt and destroyed during the raid.
This morning’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital has put this last major health facility in North #Gaza out of service. Initial reports indicate that some key departments were severely burnt and destroyed during the raid.

60 health workers and 25 patients in critical condition, including those on ventilators, reportedly remain in the hospital. The patients in moderate to severe condition were forced to evacuate to the destroyed and non-functional Indonesian Hospital. @WHO is deeply concerned for their safety.

This raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital comes after escalating restrictions on access for WHO and partners, and repeated attacks on or near the facility since early October. Such hostilities and the raids are undoing all our efforts and support to keep the facility minimal functional. 

The systematic dismantling of the health system in Gaza is a death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians in need of health care.

This horror must end and health care must be protected. Ceasefire!

The little 'ding' on Teams when one 'completes' a task is strangely motivating when one has 1 hour 21 minutes left in the 2024 working year.
