Ohhh, I can block the Twitter Blue reply guys all at once...they're always right at the top. Hey! Hey...trans women are women! Climate change is caused by people! Healthcare is a human right! Birth control should be free and abortion should be legal!

I normally wouldn’t ask for help but this time I think it’s right as we are taking an ambulance to Lviv in Ukraine next month 🇺🇦 Any donation gratefully accepted xxx justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

One way to make a start on that would be to recognise that the argument we are being “challenged” via these deductions amounts to an admission that they serve no purpose beyond being punitive, and must therefore be brought to an end, and lost money repaid. 21/21

As a final year student, approaching an exam season which will determine 100% of my final grade, this *will* be disruptive. But I support it, and here’s why students should stand with @UCU as they continue industrial action #UCURising
The marking and assessment boycott begins today. All UCU members should boycott any marking and assessment processes that contribute to summative assessment until further notice. The threats of disproportionate deductions from employers demonstrate the power of the boycott.

This will stand a chance of being effective *only* if all UCU members take part.
CALLING UCU HE MEMBERS To ensure the marking & assessment boycott is effective, we need as many members as possible take part in the online training💻 SHARE THIS POST & let's make the next training session on 17/4 the biggest yet💪 Register rb.gy/rgdez #ucuRISING

The trouble began when Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Schools, which consisted of experienced and well-informed men and women whose job included helping and advising, was replaced by Ofsted, whose sole function is to judge and criticise and condemn.

The Holocaust in Germany was preceded by demonisation & dehumanisation in language not dissimilar to that used in the UK in the 2020s re asylum seekers & migrants in inflatable dinghies & other small boats. #Braverman #Lineker #Sunak #swarms #invasion #UK #refugees #migrants

There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?

First they came for the refugees, then they came for drag queens and trans men & women, next up was protesters, then they came for lawyers, next was the turn of climate presenters and national treasures, and now they’ve come for sports presenters. You don’t have to agree with all of the above, but you do need to defend their rights, because if you don’t, then when they come for you too, who’ll still want to stand at your side. Put aside your prejudices, hatred and fear is their weapon of choice, rise above it, you’re better that this, and them. The Government are systematically targeting dissent and silencing criticism, they’re controlling our public broadcaster, and the narrative, because that’s all they have left. This is a pivotal moment, a slice of history, you only need to decide if you want to be able to hold your head high and say that you stood against tyranny and creeping fascism, or forever regret enabling it. #FascismCreeps #ToriesOut #ImwithGaryLineker #BBC #GeneralElectionNow #MOTD #Corruption
