"Silence is not just complicity; it is consent. And so, the bombs keep falling, and the Palestinians remain what the world has allowed them to become: numbers."

"As a Jewish organization, we stand for universal human rights. Like many Jewish organizations worldwide, we insist that Israel neither represents Jews nor speaks on our behalf. Israel must be held accountable for war crimes like any other state." https://t.co/rREsvZGJZY

Revisit Rachel Aviv’s 2017 Profile of Albert Woodfox, who died this week, at the age of 75. Held in solitary confinement for more than 40 years, Woodfox said that he tried to teach inmates to have pride, self-respect, and a sense of self-worth.

Putting my next term at @QMUL on hold - I won’t give my hard earn wage to an institution that doesn’t pay hard earned wages to its faculty.

[Ruth Fletcher @fletcher_ruth]

In case you missed it.

Please support us @qm_ucu as we contest a uni management willing to impoverish, disrespect and threaten uni staff. The 100% pay deductions are for withdrawing a small part of our labour when struggling to improve working conditions for all #DockedPayNoWay

[QMUL UNISON 🌵 @QM_UNISON]

HR @QMUL wrote to some members confirming underpayment of wages
🌵QMUL Unison discovered the problem but our work is not acknowledged
🌵Not everyone affected was contacted
🌵We think the discrepancy predates 2014, we asked for data from 2005-2010 but we haven't received any yet
