Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record. @independentsage.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

The COVID inquiry has reminded us, once again, that despite claims of "inevitability" at the time, this didn't have to happen.

In light of yesterday's news on the COVID inquiry in relation to political decision-making, I'm re-posting our recent ISQ article. We show how political elites in the UK, Italy, and Germany varied in the ways they communicated the inevitability of mass death during the onset of the pandemic. 🧵...

I'm honoured to be part of this essential new issue of Daedalus (open access!) examining the effects of 9/11 and the so-called "war on terror" on US democracy. The contributions are outstanding; Evangelista's concluding reflection "It Can Happen Here" is essential www.amacad.org/daedalus/how...

How Has War Shaped American Democracy?

In 1795, James Madison warned that “of all the enemies of true liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.” He cautioned that “No natio...

We see several dimensions of the knowledge politics of violence at play here. For one, the public display of killing journalists, as @argohdes.bsky.social has mentioned, for everyone to see. At the same time, on the ground reporting on atrocities is made virtually impossible 1/

Anita Gohdes@argohdes.bsky.social · last yr.

I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

So pleased to see this letter from MPs in support of students in Gaza with offers at UK universities. It's been signed by over 100 MPs and is a real cross-party effort. I hope now that Starmer will respond to our requests.

Stella Creasy MP@stellacreasy.bsky.social · last yr.

Students who win the chance to attend our world class universities need that future protected whereever they come from - proud to stand with my colleagues lead by Abtisam Mohamed in speaking up for how we can make that happen even amid the horrors of what is happening in Gaza.
