@BZweibelson I don't know if you've seen 'Beating the Fascists' by Sean Birchall (https://t.co/rJv01V4CU1) or Morris Beckman's 'The 43 Group' (available on the Internet Archive at https://t.co/bAUzuYui6D), both dealing with anti-fascism in the UK - think they'd interest you.

@BirkbeckUoL I'm taking VSER and leaving Birkbeck tomorrow but there are some things I haven't been able to do to keep within the VSER agreement because of the outage, for which email access is essential. Would it be possible to have a day of IT access for that when systems are restored?

Kenmore, summer 2023. The place is being slowly strangled to make way for an exclusive super resort for billionaires.

Capable of inspiring intense affection, bitterest hostility & profound exasperation, Pearse described Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa (d. #OTD 1915) as ‘the most typical’ of the Fenian leaders, deriving courage & endurance from the Gaelic tradition.' https://t.co/e9ku46YyQN #DIBLives

Just finished Vincent Brown's Tacky's Revolt. Brilliant in all sorts of ways but what I found most impressive was the way he adapted the conventions of military history to show the martial nature of enslavement and resistance. Read it!

"I was violated by a police spy - and the state gave its blessing". Ahead of the public inquiry's interim report, Eleanor Fairbraida has come forward to describe how #spycops officer Mark Kennedy abused the people he spied on.

Let's visit the underground labyrinth of the Casino in Marino. In these dark dingy depths, secret societies and rebels carried out clandestine operations. Beneath the magnificent wonder of 18th-century architecture are interconnecting chilly chambers and moss-covered tunnels.

Martin Howes, @BidvestNoonan's 'HR Transformation Director', says "it makes it easier to put everyone at risk of redundancy".

It certainly isn't easy for the 256 security officers at @UCL who face losing their livelihood in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.

🧵 A thread...

Ten years ago, after years of shocking revelations about #spycops, the government said it needed a full-scale public inquiry. In a couple of weeks time it'll issue its 1st report, covering the Special Demonstration Squad from its founding in 1968 until 1982.

@jampondphotogr2 @tomsdinner @TheBPPA @Storypicagency It shouldn't matter a jot that they were journalists, no member of the public should be arrested as they were.
