Once more without the typo;

#Brexit has cost the UK way more than expected; Britain’s economy has declined by a massive 8%. Investment is down 12%+

No wonder we’re getting poorer. Farage’s fascism & Starmer’s timidity have been a disaster.

We need politicians with the courage to say “rejoin”.

Can't help but feel those responsible for Brexit should not, for example, be riding high in the polls with a new party...

This is institutional capture to redefine knowledge/facts as threats and transform political ideology into social norm.

I'll address this in my "Power, Harm and Justice" module.

Indiana University, which has now been subordinated to the direct control of the Indiana GOP, announces that criticism of the MAGA movement and doctrines of the GOP is forbidden. An instructor is dismissed for speaking critical words about the MAGA movement.

Trump's regime has darkened the moral horizon in US. A few judges broke the spell and finally breathed through conscience. Yet the battle is not over and queer resistance must stay at the frontlines of this moral struggle. #AcademicSky

“L’arte è morta, Venezia è la sua tomba.”

Art is dead, Venice is its tomb.

I saw it on the wall this morning.

This mirrors the global condition of culture under neoliberalism. Commercialisation and the fast-consumption “Insta-pic” generation have hollowed art into performance for visibility.

Shameful and inhuman!

When a state starts hunting the voiceless and the most vulnerable to fill its quotas, it tells you everything about its moral collapse.
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

ICE has been targeting young kids for months, separating families and instilling fear.

Tell Congress to pass legislation ensuring no child is arrested without a warrant and coerced to give up their rights by immigration agents.
ICE: Stop Terrorizing Children
ICE is traumatizing children as young as 14 – trying to strip them of their rights while they're without attorneys or family to help them. Take action against these horrific abuses now.
