I stopped by Renee and Alex’s memorials today and was inspired to see all those who showed up to pay their respects and leave an “I voted” sticker.
We have not forgotten. Accountability is coming.

Never forget that Renée Good and Alex Pretti were murdered fighting Trump’s fascism.
Tonight belongs to them.

I remember when Smalltown Boy was released in 1984. It told a story of rejection, loneliness and the courage to live authentically.
Four decades later, we’re still having conversations about whose identity deserves respect.
Jimmy Somerville’s response reminds me why solidarity matters.
Gay and trans people don’t have to agree on everything to recognise the importance of dignity, acceptance and belonging.
Nobody should have to feel like a Smalltown Boy again. ❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
“How f*cking dare you.” Gay icon Jimmy Somerville denounces trans hate front @AllianceLGB for using his classic Smalltown Boy on one of their propaganda films.
Jimmy says he will do everything he can to have it removed.
⭐️The LGB Alliance are a front set up to persecute trans people shortly after the US Religious Right decided to switch targets from gay rights to trans rights.

More than 30,000 university jobs lost. FE lecturers paid up to £9,000 less than school teachers.
Ahead of the Budget, where is the government’s plan for post-16 education?
We need fair pay, secure jobs and sustainable funding.
ALT Where’s the plan for post 16 education ?
ALT More than 30,000 Jon losses
ALT Pay gap in FE is between 7,000 and 9,000
ALT Education drives economic prosperity and benefits all of society

NO, you did NOT get Greenland. You don’t own Greenland, and you never will!
And let’s get the facts straight: No oil has yet been discovered in Greenland.
Oil exploration drilling is not expected before 2027 at the earliest, and even then, it can only proceed if the Greenlandic authorities grant the necessary approvals.

Good news. Greenland’s parliament has voted unanimously to halt all seabed mining until 2029, when the ban can be renewed. The decision is being hailed as a slap in the face for Donald Trump

We know racists won't let Prof Arday rest in peace but we have a duty to care for his family in any way we can and that means correcting the false narratives abt him that got out of control. Bylines continues to do the corrective work.

Backed by Reform UK megadonor Ben Delo, the Committee for Academic Freedom defended Arday’s accusers and has now commissioned a report into his appointment by Cambridge University

You did NOT get Greenland. Period.
You are the undisputed world champion of lying.
Greenland is NOT yours, never was, and never will be! 🇬🇱
Trump says NATO was "nice enough to give us Greenland. We got Greenland."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and is not owned by the United States. A September 2026 security agreement expands US military access but reaffirms Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders' self-determination.

OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.

Hundreds of authors, including Patrick Ness, Damian Barr, Nikesh Shukla and Juno Dawson have signed an open letter in support of Sally Rooney and Faber following the news that the publisher will no longer supply her works in the UK due to government legislation designating Palestine Action a terrorist organisation.

Universities are tearing apart the humanities, arts and social sciences. Courses are closing, jobs are disappearing, and students and staff are paying the price.
At Exeter, 85% of proposed job cuts targeted these disciplines.
These are choices, not inevitabilities. We need university leaders who will defend education, not dismantle it.
Defend our humanities. Defend our universities.

Same university. Same work. Worse terms and conditions?
De Montfort University plans to hire new staff through a subsidiary company, denying them access to established pension schemes and creating a two-tier workforce.
This is unacceptable.
University bosses must stop cutting costs at workers’ expense. The government must close this loophole.

Trump, here we go again!
“Our new Greenland”?
Greenland is NOT yours. It never was, and it never will be.
The United States has no authority to decide whether, when, or how our oil, gas, or minerals are explored or extracted. Those decisions belong to Greenland!
Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people. Our future is ours to decide!
Our democracy, and our right to self-determination must be respected!

Universities in the UK are slashing both courses and jobs in the arts and humanities.
Juliet Jacques argues that the cuts reflect a fundamental change in how successive governments have approached higher education. Universities are no longer about creating knowledge – but generating capital.

It is so interesting that as a brown woman @vauhinivara didn't consider the ethical implications of feeding AI with 25 years of African literature, copyrighted works and without author permission.

“Hate sells.”
@SangitaMyska and @misanharriman discuss the “toxic” conversation surrounding the return of Harry and Meghan, fueled by racism and misogyny.
