As we head into the Christmas break, GONUJ want to thank everyone who has supported us, with donations, statements, letters, reposts, and of course joining us on our strike days. Your solidarity is so much appreciated.
Here's an update on where things stand. 🧵 (1/8)

We strike again tomorrow and Friday.

@matthewcobb Testimony of those who recently allegedly attended the courses was at times bizarre, with the highest scoring students (those not lost on one of his notorious hikes) giving accounts verging on the fantastical.
I don’t know what is scarier, the fact that atmospheric CO2 just hit the highest level in human history, or that it has gone close to completely unnoticed…
Spent the last two years on this project to it means a lot to me:
The Guardian has looked into its history and has discovered an uncomfortable truth: but it reveals a story of Britain's history being embedded with slavery
