Whenever I encounter a paywall at a journal, I think of Aaron Swartz, who radically advocated for free access to taxpayer-funded research, downloading millions of academic articles from JSTOR. He took his own life in 2013 because he was prosecuted for trying to make research available to the public.

Everyday #violence in #favelas impacts the right to education. A study by @fogocruzado.org.br shows that armed violence and police operations systematically disrupt students’ journeys to school. On school days, police operations last an average of more than eight hours! rioonwatch.org?p=83621

"Neben einem hohen Erwartungsdruck erschweren prekäre, befristete Beschäftigungsverhältnisse und fehlende langfristige Karriereperspektiven die Lebensplanung junger Forscher:innen." 80% des wissenschaftlichen Personals ist befristet, ohne echte Zukunftsperspektiven. @unterbauuniwien.bsky.social

The Austrian government has proposed hitting universities with an €800 million / year budget cut (after inflation). This could lead to redundancies for up to 20% of staff. 🫠 Quite ironic after the last year of advertising Austria as a "safe haven" for researchers impacted by Trump.

A 12-year-old is suspected of committing a murder in Malmö last week. Until now, criminal networks have used children to carry weapons and plant hand grenades, but not as hit men. This is a direct result of the right-wing government's punitive criminal policy. www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/en-1...

„In dieses Ungarn haben deutsche Behörden eine deutsche Staatsbürgerin wissentlich ausgeliefert. Wo bleibt die Empörung? Warum gibt es keine breite Mobilisierung der Öffentlichkeit? Warum setzt sich kein Spitzenpolitiker, kein Vertreter der Regierung für Maja T. ein?“

Menschenrechte: Es geht um sie – und um noch viel mehr

Die mutmaßliche Linksextreme Maja T. sitzt in Ungarn in Haft. Die deutsche Justiz beeilte sich mit der Auslieferung, die Bundesregierung hilft nicht. Das kann nicht sein!
