Hi all, Alex here! I am pleased and proud to announce my new book, 'For the Love: How Football Supporters Can Change the World' 🎉!
It's about football supporters, community activism and hope at a time when that can feel hard to come by.
It is AMAZING how quickly certain people have been allowed back into Palestine solidarity spaces.
Academics who broke the PACBI call, now hosting Palestine events at QUB.

Bolivia's workers unions held a congress yesterday and confirmed that they will not take part in any dialogue or negotiations.
The general strike against neoliberalism continues, the number of barricades erected along highways is now 90, a record breaking number.
While not at all surprising, it’s still worth pointing out that the sane government that has banned two streamers from entering Britain because of their criticisms of Israel, moved heaven and hell to try to let violent Macabi Tel Aviv fans into the country
Class shapes every part of our lives.
So how do we come together as a class today? How do we build power again?

Thinking with the many workers, unions, organisers who have responded to Palestinian calls to stop arming Israel. This piece reflects on labour internationalism in a time of genocide & how we might move from sporadic solidarity to collective power. https://t.co/KCuTEWmWka
As Hasan Picker and Cenk Uygur are denied entry to the UK, it’s worth remembering that Isaac Herzog — accused of “direct and public incitement to commit genocide” by the UN Commission of Inquiry report — was welcomed by Keir Starmer on the steps of No10 in September.
Class shapes every part of our lives.

Longstanding Royal College of Art cleaners, Diana and Ricardo, have been sacked for speaking out about the sexual harassment and abuse they and others have suffered in the workplace.
But the @IWGBunion is fighting back.
I have been a scholar of Hizbullah for over three decades, and throughout that time I have been repeatedly asked when, whether, or how, it will disarm. Yet in the context of Israel's daily terrorism in the south and the Bekaa, and beyond, the question today has become even more absurd, because those who pose it somehow still fail to grasp that they aren't simply asking about an organisation, but about whether an entire people — the people of the south, the Bekaa, and Dahyeh, Lebanon’s Shia community, and a constitutive part of the Lebanese state — should willingly surrender the only means through which they have resisted their own genocide. And the answer to that is something that rings even more true today than it has in the past--there will be no disarmament of Hizbullah's Resistance, with a capital R, or of any other popular resistance that may emerge with a lower case r, so long as the genocidal Israeli entity exists.
“We embrace AI as not something we simply do…AI is part of who and how we are.”
I’m going to say it for the thousandth time: the problem is not the cheating students. They are a symptom of a problem. The problem is that academic administrators are at war with education itself.
