Thanks, New York Times.

Now that an increasing number of colleagues and students have asked me how they can contribute to the protests against the budget cuts imposed on Dutch universities, here's a detailed "Action List" written by @IngridRobeyns

Spread the word!

Dutch university staff: want to know how to raise your voice against the imminent budget cuts? Here's a list of things you can do.

@PoliticOfNature Thanks, will read! I have finished the book in the meantime and find its politics unsettling (just as politically naive as Gates’ book on climate). I went to her talk at the Edinburgh International Book Festival earlier today and there was hardly any critical question…

[Ingrid Robeyns @[email protected] @IngridRobeyns]

Are there any climate/environmental scientists & scholars who have written a blog or book review of Hannah Ritchie’s ‘Not the End of the World’? #climate

Over at the reasonable site, a claim by the political philosopher Chris Bertram that I endorse:

@TdeWinkel @WOinactie I'm wondering whether Dutch-Higher-education activists shouldn't choose to use LInkedIn as their primary platform for activism. Isn't that a place where all universities, and many journalists and politicians are present?

[Ingrid Robeyns @[email protected] @IngridRobeyns]

I really think we should all do this. Our posts here are the basis for the business model of the owner of this site. It's pretty similar to boycotting and divesting, which we know from other social struggles. Why don't we give ourselves a hard deadline? I propose: September 6th.

[Keith Frankish @keithfrankish]

I've devoted a lot of time to this site--I hope in a useful way. But I'm increasingly uncomfortable with the management of the site. I can't bring myself to quit yet, but I will gradually shift my posting to blue sky site. If you want to keep in touch, please follow me there

[Ingrid Robeyns @[email protected] @IngridRobeyns]

@TdeWinkel I agree and think everyone/every group must decide for themselves. As for activism: @WOinActie also couldn't have had the results it had without us being active here. But since universities are now leaving this site, activists for HE-politics may have to go elsewhere. >

Op de Site met de Blauwe Hemel hebben heel wat mensen een account, maar hebben daar voor het laatst 7 maanden geleden iets gepost.
Voor die mensen: kom terug. Ik ben er nog geen fascist tegengekomen en je posts daar geven geen legitimiteit aan het imperium v/e aspirant-dictator.

[Ingrid Robeyns @[email protected] @IngridRobeyns]

Ik schreef vanochtend een draadje op de Andere Site met de Blauwe Hemel, over mijn ervaringen over het stuk dat Michael Merry in NRC publiceerde vandaag. Maar ik ga het hier niet herhalen. We zullen uiteindelijk toch moeten verhuizen naar de andere sites...

[Ingrid Robeyns @[email protected] @IngridRobeyns]

Could we please use this momentum of - entirely valid- lethal critique on Musk to ALL MOVE TO OTHER PLATFORMS THAT ARE (MORE) DEMOCRATICALLY RUN - like the one where the skies are blue, or the elephant?
I'd like to close my account here, but can only do so if all of you move too.

my biggest social media wish for 2024 is that everyone I follow here on Twitter would move over to either Bluesky or Mastodon.

The only reason I'm sometimes still here, despite serious moral qualms about still being here, is because so few of you are there...

Google Maps does not allow me to post critical reviews of two pro-Israel places in Prague, and the reasons they give only raise further questions. https://t.co/F2hArJ1MSg
@googlemaps - would you mind explaining to our readers how this works?

[Ingrid Robeyns @[email protected] @IngridRobeyns]

@nescio13 @ExpertiseUnder But see also @saumjha’s elaborate response (I haven’t read the papers so have no view).

[Ingrid Robeyns @[email protected] @IngridRobeyns]

Hilarious! But also a very clear warning for US voters… #JDVance #MAGA

We visited the House of Terror in Budapest today - a museum that documents political oppression under Nazi and communist regimes in Hungary.
It sold the books “Orban vs. Soros”, by Gabor Fodor, described as a political philosopher, member of Orban’s team.

I have questions.

This is great news for British households ánd for climate action! But the details of the Public-Private Partnerships are important, especially on price-regulation and, ultimately, taming the profit-seeking behaviour of corporations.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

It is time for the British people to own things again and build things again.

With Great British Energy, we will.

That is how we make our country energy secure and protect family finances.
