I strongly believe in giving the man a chance. But keeping Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary suggests the vicious attacks on immigrants and refugees, and self-defeating attempts to outrun the far right, are likely to continue. Which is pretty damn depressing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot

Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

"De echte controverse is deze: de aanvallen op Francesca Albanese getuigen niet van een oprechte verontwaardiging over onrecht of antisemitisme. Ze zijn een verdoken manier om het onrecht dat Albanese zelf aanklaagt, te blijven goedpraten"

Nieuw stuk van Gert Van Hecken en mezelf 👇 “Echte solidariteit is geen seizoensartikel, geen veilige story-post, geen morele modetrend. Het vraagt om volhouden, ook wanneer de hashtags verdwijnen. Dat betekent ook burgerlijke ongehoorzaamheid…” www.knack.be/nieuws/werel...

'Echte solidariteit met Gaza? Als er iets erger is dan te laat spreken, dan is het opnieuw zwijgen'

Na twee jaar oorverdovende stilte, lege inboxen en zorgvuldig gefilterde social media, klinken plots overal stemmen. Over Gaza. Over genocide. Over

US students are being forced to attend political propaganda sessions in which facts are distorted and issues conflated. It looks like the kind of "re-education" imposed by dictatorships. I speak as someone fiercely opposed to antisemitism: *This does not help*. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Antisemitism training designed by pro-Israel groups is becoming compulsory at US colleges. What’s in it?

Training asks students to attribute the statement ‘every time I read Hitler, I fall in love’ to an ‘anti-Israel activist’

De Amerikanen eisen het ontslag van VN-rapporteur Fransesca Albanese. ‘The US warned that continued failure to do so would not only discredit the UN but would also require significant actions in response to Ms. Albanese’s misconduct.’ Dit zijn maffia-praktijken.

Trump post volgend bericht van Mark Rutte (huidig Navo Baas) op sociale media... Trump is een criminele president die een genocidale staat ondersteunt (net als de vorige VS-president), de Europese politici zijn een bende criminele en medeplichtige "slimeballs" (om het op zijn Rutte's te zeggen).

Springer-Nature launched a series of "Discover" journals that closely mimic MDPI titles -- sharing *identical* journal names, and likely similar business model. What is going on, and why researcher will - as always - fall for it? A 🧵 the-strain-on-scientific-publishing.github.io/website/post...
