Trump's rhetoric on expansion is based on long-standing imperial designs that are linked to a hegemony-facilitating interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine.

See for example this map from a 1915 issue of Seven Seas, a magazine produced by the Navy League of the United States.

U.S. imperialism at its finest.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Trump rally speaker: “There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico”

[UoN Anti-Casualisation Network @UoNCasuals]

We have long insisted casualisation in HE is inextricably linked with racial inequalities. This is starkly illustrated by @UniofNottingham's decision recruit a TA to convene modules on anticolonial struggle, via a part-time, six-month, casual contract #WeAreUoN

[DMU History @DMUHistory]

Looking forward to a great #DMUOpenDay today. Our Dr Dave Dee and Prof. @pippavirdee are doing a History subject talk at 10.45 followed by Q+A 1-3pm. Come along and say hello! https://t.co/VLToFUNTDg

Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost.

Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not?

Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not?

Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can?

None of this is coherent.

[UCU @ucu]

A message from our General Secretary and President to all UCU members:

“As a union, our duty is to take the fight against racism and fascism into every workplace and community we have a foothold in. There will always be those who organise–from above and from below–to divide us and sow hatred. As educators and trade unionists, we will work tirelessly to defeat them."
