Sunak just conceded loss as PM of UK, surrounded by cosplay MPs. 🤡😂 Only in Britain do you see crazy names for MPs who show up in the wildest costumes for reals.

Yes, Corbyn has won! ✊🏼 One pro-Palestinian British MP. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jul/05/jeremy-corbyn-re-elected-in-islington-north-for-first-time-as-independent-mp

Jeremy Corbyn re-elected in Islington North after expulsion from Labourwww.theguardian.com Former Labour leader continues to represent constituency he has held since 1983

So one Empire’s #july4th celebrations for #JeremyCorbyn and #IslingtonNorth in its former master/Empire’s elections #GeneralElection2024 🙃

I don’t care about British elections but I just want Jeremy Corbyn to win.

IMO, Labour Party in the UK is too conservative and right-wing, the Tories are batshit crazy, so Independent & Green Party were better options. But i don’t vote in the UK. I just really wish Corbyn and progressive candidates would win.

The overarching turn to the right, whereby whatever people think are Labour in the UK or Democrats in the US, neither are progressive or left. They constitute the right-wing capitalist colonial empire that runs the world. Hence the desperate need for radical progressive politics now

War is a mass disabling event and any approach to disability justice should demand an end to war and a free Palestine, full stop.

“Some children think that their legs might grow again. This is one of the saddest things that we hear on a regular basis, when talking to children. They tell us, we’re waiting for our legs to grow again. Sometimes, it’s difficult to explain that that’s not going to happen.”

How the war in Gaza makes life nearly impossible for disabled peoplewww.motherjones.com “Some children think that their legs might grow again. This is one of the saddest things that we hear on a regular basis.”

The US is full of mendacity and this is just sick

ICE created a fake university in order to defraud, rob, and deport students. The depths of depravity there know no bounds. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Students at fake university in Michigan created by ICE can sue US, court ruleswww.freep.com An appeals court ruled in favor of students who said they were tricked by ICE into enrolling at a fake university in metro Detroit.

People unironically posting Naomi Shihab Nye’s famous fireworks poem today “No Explosions”. Nye is a Palestinian-American poet and this poem is perhaps most apt for #July4 for the US but everyday in Palestine.

I finally watched the entire video & was reminded how expansive & informative the panel discussion was after the lecture. Feel free to have a watch to learn about the how a range of voices from around the world help us rethink #climatecrisis #climatejustice #climatecoloniality

Folks, truly, watch this ->

Why everyone should use the Oxford (or serial) comma and why it’s a hill I will die on. I hate it when I receive proofs of publications back and the publishers have removed all my commas. The text sounds imbecile, like:

Saleem was a lifelong collaborator, mentor, colleague, friend. I’ve known him since 1997. The keynote lecture I delivered at the Royal Geographical Society this past week has video clips of interviews with him (and others). Video of my lecture & the panel discussion afterwards is here:

Voices from the Global South - RGSwww.rgs.org Explore diverse perspectives on the climate crisis, emphasising the significance of incorporating insights from academic, policy, and indigenous advocacy groups.

I have a hard time with the climate deniers, racists, and publishers who don’t use the Oxford commas

This entire thread. Including the Thiel post. Folks should read it.

This man is making his evil intentions as crystal-clear as they possibly could be, and everyone who cares about humanity should be blasting that message out in every possible venue.

This is part of the rot. Completely dangerous for everything and everyone.

The sheer exceptionalization of WWII events - by politicians, scholars, pundits, media, and ad-nauseam reinforced by Hollywood & others in thousands of shows, film, plays, documentaries, etc spread globally - means our genocides are completely invisibilized/distorted/denied constantly. It’s shameful

My immediate thoughts: Columbusing again. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Europeans repeating history of spreading disease again. 😱 Unvaccinated people posing danger to others.😠 Antivaxxers shouldn’t be allowed to enter countries where a disease was defeated with effort.😡 Wealthy people costing others in multiple ways. 🤬

Chronic ear infections suck. Please send good vibes.🤲🏻

Holy cow, didn’t see this headline coming 🤔🤯😂

Supreme Court Gives Joe Biden The Legal OK To Assassinate Donald Trumpwww.huffpost.com Something is wrong “when dissenting justices warn that the majority may have just legalized murder by one individual,” said legal expert Norm Eisen.

Satire is dead

The landmark reversal nullifies all previously lawful forms of right and makes it very difficult for Americans to make ethical decisions or be generally decent human beings without facing criminal charges.

Supreme Court Overturns 'Right v. Wrong'www.theonion.com WASHINGTON—Striking down the judicial precedent that established the legal supremacy of right over wrong more than two centuries ago, the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned Right v. Wrong.

Twitter algorithm today is kinda spot-on and I’m glad that asshat was called off on this site often

This is spot on & only worsening for many of us US professors with too many administrative, supervision, research, outreach, etc responsibilities while we’re off-contract (not paid) for the 3 summer months. With zero ability to unionize. I’ve been a faculty in both the UK & US, it’s worse here.😢

💯Friere and Gramsci and Fanon and Said and Lorde and a few others have been my go-to theorists forever and there’s always a quote I can find for life in the contemporary moment
