Arresting pensioners for opposing genocide. Giving the police new powers to ban and restrict peaceful marches.  This Labour government is implementing an incredibly dangerous authoritarian crackdown.  Join @pscupdates.bsky.social tomorrow night to stand against it ✊

‘What’s happening in Gaza is an even clearer case of public figures with command authority declaring their intention to blockade food and then doing so. It is a mystery how anyone can call it a “humanitarian disaster” rather than a genocide.’ @naoisedolan.bsky.social: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/au...

‘What Israel has created in Gaza is an environment so toxic to human life that the unnaturally high level of deaths (at least 54,000 since October 2023) would continue even if the bombing were to stop immediately.’ @selmadabbagh.bsky.social on Gaza, from the blog: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ju...

#AcademicFreedom is the right to say everything but not anything. It is based on the rejection of bullshit. It only exists when it is actively practiced in the everyday. Refusing bullshit and telling the truth is practicing academic freedom.
