Are you a South Asian Muslim woman living in Scotland? Have you ever felt controlled, humiliated, or frightened by your partner/ex-partner, their family, or your own? Have they ever restricted your money or what you do with your time? 👇🏽

Congratulations to the PhD candidate in Gaza whose PhD I examined today, online. A fine piece of work. A PhD is hard in normal circumstances. When your teachers, supervisor & Vice Chancellor are all murdered during scholasticide, the process is unimaginably difficult. أهنئك

An actual clearcut racist calls Rishi Sunak a "f***ing p*ki": no charge. An Asian protestor (who is now six months pregnant) satirically depicts Rishi Sunak as a coconut: "racially aggravated public order offence". Welcome to Britain.

So proud to know this incredible woman. This powerful documentary on the exploitation of jasmine farmers in Egypt and slave labor is a must watch. Her work in journalism, activism, and of course the amount of time and energy she devotes to connecting Gaza is truly inspiring 🌸

One day, I’ll be standing in an auditorium full of undergrads teaching them about Nazism and Zionism under the same module. I’ll show them a documentary about May 26th 2024 - when Israel dropped several 2 thousand ton bombs on sleeping refugees in a tent, the students will lament on how the world could possibly remain silent if we had video footage from months of similar carnage. We’ll sociologically analyze how global consent and complicity is manufactured through propaganda, and then students will be asked to write a 1000 word essay on the fake beheaded babies story. And this is how history simply repeats itself, unless the cycle is broken by a few brave souls. Are you on of them?

Someone watched that little ones every move for the 1st months of their life, worried about their milk intake, their sleep & development. Dressed them, brushed their hair. Kissed their cheeks 1000s of times, that little ones whose body was held up against the flames with no head

@Gavin_F_Brewis Yes! Entirely. I specifically remember work by Peter Hopkins on politics, race and nation… worth a read (amongst his other works on the subject!)

Is Scotland culturally and politically different from England? In the past I'd have said no but my view has slightly changed there. Are we more socialist than England? No. I'd say we are more liberal, and more progressive on the face of it, but unsure what that means materially.

@Mairi_the_ @AminaMWRC Thank you 🙌🏽💚

If you have a minute please vote for @AminaMWRC’s never allowed campaign. Was absolutely honoured to be asked to write this report based on the research the amazing staff @ Amina carried out 🤞🏽

URGENTLY NEEDED! 🚨🚨🚨🚨

This is a statement which will be remembered throughout the ages. Legally detailed, full of humanity and moral clarity. Everyone needs to hear it.

@ProfKarenBoyle I thought as much, thought it might have been another ‘poo bum’ moment 😂

@ProfKarenBoyle Maybe next year 🤪

We might as well cite her...

@KalwantBhopal Very relevant!

Using Bourdieu and CRT explore how identity, experience and family background affects how people navigate the social space of elite universities #race #racism #equity #privilege routledge.com/Elite-Universi…

@Mirna_elhelbawi As you should my girl 🫶🏽

I feel so proud. 🥲❤️

🚨ATTENTION COLLEGE STUDENTS AND PEACEFUL PROTESTORS🚨 My law firm will represent anyone seriously injured or killed by police brutality during these revolutionary times. I have an army of lawyers ready to fight, and I will personally fund the litigation to hold these abusers accountable. You have a first amendment right to free speech and expression. I will fight for your right to protest the Zionist regime, and, God willing, we will dismantle it! Be smart. Stay vigilant. And protect yourself.

@Mairi_the_ Thank you Mairi 🫶🏽
