In memory of Refaat Alareer on what would have been his 47th birthday. My last email exchanged with Refaat on 12 Oct 2023, less than 2 months before he was martyred in a targeted Israeli strike. I had hoped to work with him on a project on free speech and academic freedom in Palestine & beyond.

We’ve lived through the nearly complete systematic unwinding of the postwar public university, which for all its faults, was premised on the idea that not only aristocrats could be intellectuals, & that having non-aristocratic intellectuals was better for knowledge & therefore better for everyone

First, make voting mandatory. It is in Australia. It works. It makes every citizen take part. It also means parties don't focus all their policies on the old, who vote. Better for the next generation. £100 fine for not voting. (Exemptions for those who truly can't do it).

ICYMI: I talked with Mohamed Barry, a longtime resident of Indiana, about what it was like to be taken from his family and expelled to a country he’s never been to on a hellish, 26-hour flight. prospect.org/2026/08/31/w...

'What America Did to Me Is Wrong': Inside One of the Largest Third-Country Removal Flights So Far
BY GILLIAN BROCKELL
AUGUST 31, 2026
On July 31, an estimated 71 detainees were expelled to various countries on a hellish flight to Africa. Many were then illegally returned to their home countries.

For the first few hours of the
Immigration and Customs Enforcement flight over the Atlantic Ocean, Mohamed Barry continued to act like himself, which is to say, he expected to be visible to the people around him.
So as GEO Group flight security guards stood over him and the other shackled passengers, chatting casually with each other, he asked them what country he was going to be deported to. They didn't answer.
When the guards started drinking from red and blue plastic cups and the smell of alcohol wafted over to his seat, he asked one of them point-blank, "Are you guys allowed to drink on the job?" No response.

Then a man from Eritrea or Somalia, Barry isn't sure which, began to beg the guards to let him use the lavatory. Barry chimed in with an appeal to decency, telling the guards, "Please consider us as human beings." But the guards were boisterous by that point, he said, and they didn't appreciate the man's increasingly loud and desperate pleas crashing their party.
Barry watched as a guard turned and looked at the man dead in the face and said, "You. Can pee on. You." Another guard laughed.
"After seeing that, I just kept my head down," Barry, 52, told me over the phone last week.
