I know not every PhD wants to stay in academia, but it’s also troubling that institutions now offer more and more ‘alternatives to academia’ workshops for their recent graduates simply because there are no jobs left. Why not also push for systemic change and a society that values knowledge?

The militarization of Indonesian politics under #Prabowo unsurprisingly affects freedom of protest and political expression: "ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) vehemently condemn the police brutality in response to protesters and journalists covering the mobilizations in Indonesia."

The beauty of the arrest quota, as Stalin figured out during the Great Purge, is that it empowers the secret police to first arrest people arbitrarily, then retroactively concoct some random justification for it.
ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.
The Mystery of ICE’s Unidentifiable Arrests
In early March, the agency announced that it had arrested forty-eight people in New Mexico—a month later, their identities and whereabouts remain unknown.

The UK has been the USA’s ‘Airstrip One’ (Orwell) for over 80 years. Britain without US bases, a demand of the antinuclear movement since the 1950s, would be a very different country.
An often overlooked aspect, on both sides of the Atlantic, of US military presence is Europe is that the US needs bases on the continent for global power projection.

This is specifically about universities. It is very important to see how fascists and authoritarians in other countries have attacked them. And to think, as Gessen does here, about constructive responses.
