L'histoire n'est jamais écrite par avance. On s'imagine prisonniers d'un temps monotone et routinier, puis l'évènement surgit. Solidarité avec les lycéens et lycéennes face à la répression. Le meilleur soutien consiste à ce que nous amplitions tous et toutes la fronde sociale qui monte dans le pays.

"𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗼𝗿 & 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀: 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗢𝗳𝗳 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗼" New article drawing on ethnographic research with irregularized migrants to explore how humour & laughter become crucial ways of navigating racist, violent, & uncertain border regimes tinyurl.com/yfhvcs39

Abstract of article : This article focuses on a ‘day off’ spent at a Moroccan beach with ‘irregularized’ migrants from Central and Western Africa. For these young men on a dangerous quest for dignity and a better life, engaging in humorous exchanges and laughter was crucial to cultivate, maintain, and display the ‘right mentality’ while facing violent border regimes. This was an important feature in the articulation of their lives and journeys as ‘adventurers’ abiding by the imperative not to give up in the face of violence, uncertainty, and the risk of failure. The article also highlights how a focus on the workings of humor and laughter in the study of (‘illegal’) migration is important to foreground and acknowledge the inequities at the core of ethnographic encounters.

No obvious blunders? Said Israel had the right to cut off water & electricity in Gaza Declared lots of old ladies terrorists for supporting Palestine Channelled Enoch Powell calling Britain an Island of Strangers Attacked the rights of trans & disabled people Aped the far-right at every turn

Seen from abroad it's hard to make sense of what happened to Starmer. Big majority, centrist, fairly united party, no obvious blunders -- and somehow it went off the rail in just a few years. Political scientists will have their work cut out on this one.

The tragic death of Henry Nowak is a devastating case of institutional failure by the police. But for the far-right it's become a central piece of propaganda, weaponising a family’s grief in pursuit of a political agenda, just as they did following the Southport murders of 2024. Read more here:

This is not "legitimate grievances", this is not about "anti-white racism" or "two-tier policing", this is not about "protesting" This is fascists having been emboldened by decades of mainstreaming We can keep pretending it's not and encourage them or we can do something about it

Nazis were in the forefront of yesterday evening's protests in Southampton where anger over the murder of Henry Nowak was inflamed by Nigel Farage and others, and turned into an anti-police riot. Read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/06/nazi...

Two-tier Britain alright, you can be a member of parliament, hold NO constituency surgeries, be absent from voting for OVER a year, take £5 million from a crypto guy, and still have a job, moreover the press is eager to propagate your racist bullshit without comment

I'm one of the signatories to this letter. We note that NHS England's ban on hormone therapy by under-18 was proposed: ● without any clear rationale, ● on the basis of a methodologically-flawed process, ● in the absence of peer review, ● and without plans for monitoring impact or mitigating harm

TransActual@transactualuk.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Over 80 clinicians, researchers and academics have signed an open letter raising serious concerns about NHS England’s recent evidence reviews of gender affirming hormone treatment for trans youth. Read the full letter here: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

Really can’t overstate how bad the EHRC guidance is. Trans people are not allowed to use single-sex facilities that align with their gender but are also not allowed to use facilities that align with their sex if their physical appearance there might cause distress. Approach to policing this is 🤷‍♂️

« l’idée d’une « nouvelle » France me semble discutable. Elle semble cantonner l’idée d’une France aux visages pluriels à une réalité récente et, de ce fait, masque la rencontre ancienne de la France et des descendant·es de colonisé·es»

La « Nouvelle France » ne date pas d’hier

L’élection de Bally Bagayoko a révélé un racisme ancré, face auquel une terminologie reste à écrire, au-delà de l’expression forgée par La France insoumise : celle qui rappellerait que les personnes …

Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

Rubio: "You've got friends who have been shot in the head because they're out protesting, and it's heartbreaking to him to see these people are abused in this way and have no measures to take against their own government as a result of it. This is a vicious regime."

Jeremy Corbyn@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Reform want to round up migrants and detain them indefinitely in areas that don’t vote for them. Yet for most of our media, it’s those marching for Palestine who are creating hatred & fear. These disgusting plans are an affront to democracy — and must be fiercely opposed.
