I wrote about what I’d been reading, for the The Guardian. Now: editing’s important. I’m happy to be edited and I welcome it. But isn’t it funny how it’s always the same word that gets edited out? theguardian.com/books/2024/may…

🍉 London you are beautiful!

Solidarity on International Workers' Day & liberation for Palestine! 🍉

Colonial exploitation is no longer something that only happens abroad. Our limited understanding of empire allows us to be continually exploited by the ruling class.

Grateful for this @channel4news interview about the themes of my new book #TrackRecord - full thing @ 7pm BST.

Just as politics cannot be separated from life, life cannot be separated from politics. People who consider themselves to be non-political are no different; they've already been assimilated by the dominant political culture - they just don't feel it any more.

The young person whose poster this is has come to many protests since October and watching the names on her poster grow every time I see her is a punch in the gut. I cannot imagine the pain she must feel and yet on NU’s encampment I saw her actively leading things despite it all.

I am pretty sure Asma Jahangir would not have wanted the German Ambassador there at all

We UCU BMSC are STILL on boycott due to institutional #racism in UCU and in solidarity with our fellow Black and Global Majority Unite UCU staff. 2 ordinary UCU black members addressed the @TUC Black members conf highlighting our boycott today and got a standing ovation 👏🔥

this is really important. we shouldn’t accept the destruction of universities in Gaza as the default and should already be starting to call for them to be rebuilt

Call for Papers - Workshop I am organising with Gerry Simpson at LSE Law School. Come think with us about the politics of invoking international law during times of crisis? How do we make sure we don't reproduce structures of oppression in our struggles for justice? Please share!

PIAZZA OCCUPIED. As the University of Warwick continues to reject our demands to cut ties with genocide, we rise up in unison with fellow students all over the world, from Columbia, NYC, to Paris, to Sydney. We say no business as usual as long as Warwick sponsors colonial genocide!

The number of bodies recovered from the mass grave in Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis is 348 as of Wednesday, but local rescue crews are still digging.

Tired of Can the Subaltern Speak. The subaltern not only speaks, she's always spoken and screamed and shouted but until a European repeats it the West ignores her. Witness Palestinians reporting their own genocide, until and unless a Western journalist relays it, it's inaudible.

Today, on the death anniversary of Blair Peach’s murder, over 300 school children presented their extraordinary work - you will love Southall!
