The more international attention the case gets, the more likely the HO is to overturn it - please share if you can, international friends and colleagues
Shameful, devastating, racist. @DoselineKiguru is a brilliant and much-valued colleague - what she and her daughter have been put through is evil

Israel has bombed Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and even Egyptian territory in the last month. An Israeli air force commander just stated that there are plans to strike Yemen too. Do you understand now?

When you work on racism, colonialism etc, you do get complacent--you think, come on, everyone gets this now, the world will surely, has surely, moved on. Then you are reminded: absolutely not. Same old routine, same old racism, same civilisational talk, same double standards.

Capitalism will never fall on its own. It will have to be pushed. The accumulation of capital will never cease. It will have to be stopped. The capitalist class will never willingly surrender its power. It will have to be dispossessed.

Paul Gilroy set Eyerman the challenge 20 years ago apparently, and he’s now written it. I hope it’s good.
Discussing his recent book “The Making of White American Identity, Ron Eyerman notes, “This is a work of memory as well as history, but the intent is clearly political. This is a scholarly work with a practical interest.” Read more below. https://t.co/0zkmkRe8CC

Shocked to hear that Cathy Bergin, R&C author and leading scholar in the field of histories of race and resistance, is facing being sacked by @uniofbrighton Solidarity with Cathy and all those facing planned redundancies #savebrightonuni
Dr Cathy Bergin has worked at @uniofbrighton for 18 years and has published widely on anti-racism. Cathy is being sacked. The uni has a race equality charter mark 🤔 ✋Hands off the #Brighton25! This uni is shut until every job is safe! #SaveBrightonUni #ucuRISING #MAB @ucu

A real pleasure to sit down with @garyyounge to reflect on 40 years as the MP for Islington North. I’m proud of what our community has achieved, but we have some unfinished business. As I told Gary, we’re not going anywhere. https://t.co/xmBPhJpot1

The university is lying about not being able to afford to pay us and they have wasted millions on vanity construction projects and inflated salaries for incompetent senior management. Help! Join the fight back! 3/3

As you all know, our tenured jobs are very hard to come by, and we do them despite a 25% cut in our salaries over the last 10 years, because we love teaching, students, art, freedom, ideas, books, and knowledge! 2/3

🚨I have been included along with dear colleagues in a pool of lecturers to be made redundant. It needs no explanation that this would be a disaster for me personally, and for others involved. @BrightonUCU @ucu 1/3
