I'm sorry but any report that uncritically says assets would be seized "to pay for" costs is just parroting government propaganda. Confiscations are dreamed up as a punitive deterrent, not a sincere attempt at a funding mechanism.

No. No. No. Waking up to the devastating news that Alice Wong has passed. I have no words yet, except to say that Alice was a powerful force for good in the world & I loved her. I posted the below just before her passing.
Tapping the sign: "Staying alive is a lot of work for a disabled person in an ableist society."—Alice Wong in the Introduction to Disability Visibility
I find myself increasingly wondering how able bodied people appear to believe that being disabled is"easy."

After weeks in US detention for having the gall to criticise israel’s genocide in gaza, sami hamdi is free and back home
After being released and returning to the UK, British journalist Sami Hamdi said that he is not the story — the real story is the genocide in Gaza.
Hamdi’s arrest came in the middle of a scheduled speaking tour in the US, where he had been advocating for Palestinian rights.

There’s an interesting thing with the western responses to saudi x-washing analyses in that many truly believe that the sports/culture washing is the real aim and drastic economic diversification + development of a more robust domestic private sector/intl investment portfolio is the ‘cover’

My employer has announced a voluntary redundancy scheme. By the standards of what’s happening elsewhere in the UK it’s really not that bad…
But the fact that the University insists on describing this as an ‘investment’ is mind-boggling.

This is so well done. It's true that when I feel especially pressed by everything, it helps to remember that the work and the job are profoundly different things. But what comes after the job when it all comes down?

The Dutch province Limburg are trying to get the panels back and want to put up a special memorial for the black soldiers, and the governor of the province (a powerless job to be clear) is gonna have a discussion with the US ambassador over it. Fingers crossed
