I wrote about the far right’s version of moral economy, and its brand of anticapitalism, for @TheIdeasLetter theideasletter.org/essay/the-mora…

Massive protest by academics at the British International Studies Association conference to protest israel’s destruction of Gaza’s universities and killing of students and scholars in Palestine, and to pledge to support a full academic boycott of israel @BDSatISA 🇵🇸

We were led to believe that our employer would support staff in starting and expanding their families. Now I face the prospect of having to go p/t to look after my child. Not to mention the colleagues with babies on the way, who must be devastated. @PregnantScrewed

I wrote about the politics of de-development and the South African elections for @NewStatesman newstatesman.com/international-…

‼️EVERY DAY OF DELAY MEANS COMPLICITY‼️ After a brief meeting yesterday, the management showed their true face: they’re willing to let thousands die before even considering cutting ties to imperialism and militarism! A THREAD:

PIAZZA OCCUPIED. As the @uniofwarwick 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!

Launching the official Warwick Stands With Palestine Twitter page! We are a cross-campus coalition of student and staff organisations which holds Palestinian liberation as a cause central to the struggle against exploitation and oppression. ❤️‍🔥🇵🇸

I have a book coming out with @stanfordpress in February -- very excited that it'll finally be out in the world. Eros and Empire is a history of struggles for sexual freedom during the period of US-led transnational capitalism. sup.org/books/title/?i…

This is a masterclass. Everyone watch this and bring your notepad

on March 27 we wrote to the Decolonise Warwick Experience Conference team to ask if we could organise an interactive panel on Palestine, to discuss the University's complicity in the ongoing genocide. Our proposal was rejected. A 🧵 (1/n)

@chenchenzh Thanks for sharing this! looks really interesting

@DavidsonMiri this is great! Dugin and co's talk of difference & civilizationalism are also quite clichéd, taken on nicely in this Dirlik piece 20 years ago (also critiquing "multiple modernities", tho not directly engaging Mignolo) twitter.com/chenchenzh/sta…

I wrote about the far right’s uses of decolonial discourse for Sidecar: newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…

So @oneinbillion (Vice-Chancellor at Surrey) has a piece in the Times Higher promoting an AI system for marking students’ work. Perhaps if you don’t want to read what your students write you shouldn’t set them assignments. But this is the least perverse aspect of this story…

Israel's mass starvation of Gazans is the most unforgivable of its sins. One-third of the population is on the brink of death from a man-made food and clean water shortage. People are dying slowly and harrowingly when there is food mere miles away.

Today students and staff came together in protest of @uniofwarwick ‘s continued complicity in Israel’s genocide of Gaza. Too cowardly to confront the masses, Uni management moved their scheduled council meeting online at the last minute. We demand demilitarisation and divestment!

I wrote about how Palestine delineates the contours of the Third World, reflecting also on the contrasting trajectories of India and South Africa vis-à-vis Israel/Palestine thanks to @STCollective and check out the rest of the ‘Palestine Now’ collection socialtextjournal.org/periscope_arti…

Spain announces that they will not suspend funding to UNWRA. The allegations, extracted through torture, concerns "10 workers out of a total of 30,000”

Starmer obviously comes out fully backing Sunak’s bombing of Yemen in order for Israel to continue murdering Palestinian children. This man and his rump of a party deserve nothing but contempt.

All ICJ Israeli genocidal intent evidence: Netanyahu: “This is the war between the sons of light and the sons of darkness. We will not let up on our mission until the light overcomes the darkness – the good will defeat the extreme evil that threatens us and the entire world” 1/🧵
