We have written a statement in support of Ghent Uni's decision to suspend Nathan Cofnas. We resist attempts to frame this as a punishment for "whistleblowing" or censorship of "controversial research". We invite all academics who share our views to sign our letter. forms.gle/qwN8xzEM5C7Q...

Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it: apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/

I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

What I personally find more remarkable is the wide range of quotes about Sellner from "mainstream" media featured on the institute's website. Again goes to show how media reporting on figures like him can serve as a mainstreaming and legitimisation device.

"Clean-shaven, well-dressed, and polite —
Martin Sellner is the poster boy of the new European far right. He organizes nonviolent protests and is widely known in the international far-right scene." - NYT

"Martin Sellner has succeeded: His plans for the mass deportation of unwanted foreigners have become established among right-wing populist parties." - NZZ

"A model for the German far right. Following the Correctiv revelations, FPÖ and AfD took up Seller's "remigration" idea." - Le Monde

"Sellner has become an important force in normalizing words and concepts that would have been unspeakable just a few years ago." Washington Post

Because this country likes to forget what it’s capable of, I take it as a duty to remind us. We sit at the brink of the largest decimation of Black political power since the fall of Reconstruction — a Second Redemption. And the end of Black political power means the end of democracy itself.

I hate the question "A society functions better when most people share a common set of cultural values and traditions rather than each person defining their own" - it slides in an assumption that Sadiq Khan and Cem Özdemir don't share society's traditions but Tommy Robinson and Björn Höcke do.

Terrific take on the intellectually bankrupt use of "both sides" by the lazier members of the corporate media.

There’s no clean way to hive off terms like “fascism” or “authoritarianism” from Trump’s policies. Even if you disagree that the words apply, their use is backed up by a genuine attempt at intellectual justification for it. The use of these terms just is deeply linked to assessments of Trump’s actual policies, from the lawless renditions to foreign gulags to the unleashing of heavily-armed militias in American cities to the naked intimidation of large swaths of civil society.

By contrast, when Trump and MAGA media figures call Democrats “communists” or “antifa,” all of that is entirely disconnected from any policy realities. Many press figures would like it if there were an Archimedean midpoint between the two parties on all these matters. But there isn’t. At the most basic level, one party continues to function as an actor in a liberal democracy, whereas Trump and much of his movement, with the eager participation of many Republicans, simply do not. Dispensing with harsh but accurate descriptions of his real goals would whitewash them.

Providing those seeking asylum with right to work is estimated to bring in, conservatively, £8billion in reduced government expenditure and increased tax revenues. It'd help increase job numbers (people spending more creates new jobs) and it helps those seeking asylum rebuild their lives faster. 2/
