1/ Nathan Cofnas has a WSJ op-ed today framing himself as a neutral truth-teller, a victim scapegoated for exposing a simple plagiarism issue about Jason Arday Worth comparing what he tells WSJ readers to what he's written on his own Substack for years.🧵

Letter to the VC of the University of Exeter from myself, Abi Morgan and Jessica Swale regarding the proposed redundancies @UniofExeter @UofEDrama

[University of Nottingham UCU branch @UoNUCU]

So management came to us last week with an offer to end the boycott. It increased buy outs for VR, extended the VR time, and offered to pay back some of the pay they stole from those participating in IA.

[University of Nottingham UCU branch @UoNUCU]

Your UCU branch has put in the work. We can save this university from financial ruin with compulsory redundancies or course closures. Our administration just needs to listen.

Grim news out of my alma mater today.

111 FTE jobs at risk at @aberdeenuni.

Three years of cuts... and the bleeding continues.

Show your support for our staff at Hallam ✊

Absurd cuts that we will not take lying down.

18 days of strikes and we are holding strong.

[University of Nottingham UCU branch @UoNUCU]

Action- the administration says they are making 100% salary reductions in response to our marking and assessment boycott and that all other work from participants during this time is "voluntary."

Response- We strike for two months straight.

A reminder of what we are fighting against as our marking and assessment boycott begins today.

A few home truths for the University of Nottingham’s senior management, in this open letter (https://t.co/xKDYsucFov)

But will they even read the letter, let alone reconsider their disastrous policy?

I doubt it.

But please prove me wrong.

BREAKING: A new UN report finds that Israel’s assault on Gaza - with the destruction of health care, education, infrastructure, even the banking system - has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded.
This is not war: it is genocide.

Blimey.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I have no words anymore.

States. Must. Intervene.

This isn’t genius, it’s leadership.

1. Impose an arms embargo and cut trade.
2. Break the blockade with your humanitarian navies.
3. Send a protective presence to Palestine to ensure Israel dismantles its occupation NOW.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING!!
Israel's unlawful occupation is bombing Gaza again! Dozens of civilians killed, including children.
With most journalists killed/humanitarians blocked, Israel advances its genocidal violence UNNOTICED, aimed solely at forcing Palestinians out.
The shame of the century.
