Whenever someone in power blames immigrants on the difficulties facing working people, working class communities and those struggling to make ends meet in disadvantaged areas, remember two words: 'managed decline'.

I know it’s a cliche, but…
Do you believe that the headline would be about a “nerdy scientist” if he had not been white?
If there was credible evidence that “Christians turned his stomach” or that he fantasized about driving into a Church and turning them into mincemeat?

Do they typically award Nobel Peace prizes to someone who murders people every day by blowing up their boats while claiming they deserved it for transporting drugs, but doesn’t give them due process, a fair trial, or present any evidence or proof of guilt to anyone?

Not all heroes wear capes (I THINK that’s a neckerchief)
“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”
Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Amazing test match, well done India and esp. Siraj. WHAT a series! The two teams are pretty much equal with different strengths, so a fair result. But thoughts on England who lost it in the selection ..

Always the same story: millions on consultancies by the central university, and departments made to cut in operational costs to meet surplus generation targets (to pay for those central costs).
Much solidarity to TAs & those left to add the work to their already burdensome workload #UKHE

This is likely not a very career savvy thing for me to post, but this rebrand also happens to be occurring at a time where departments are being told to reduce the amount spent on TAs because the finances are not deemed to have a sufficiently large surplus
Self-inflicted embarrassment for the University of Warwick — first it rebrands hyper-generically, then someone totally unhinged decides the *front page of the uni website* should say ‘Learn more about our Brand’.

This is what I’m so worried about
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor.
