@nktgill That is definitely not embarrassing. I have cried in several archives and libraries. It's heavy stuff and it takes emotional work to look at it.

Wholesale transferring of dehumanised peoples deemed disposable to regions deemed less worthy is not just a Nazi idea. It's also a colonial idea, predating Nazism. Your reminder, along with concentration camps, that Nazism & British Empire had significant ideological overlaps.

So pleased to be featured alongside @maxpinckers in this issue.

[The Funambulist @TheFunambulist_]

The Mau Mau uprising remains one of the key early liberation movements against European colonialism on the African continent. Rose Miyonga (@RMiyonga) describes how the liberated Kenyan land has never been redistributed equally and it continues to bear the colonial scars today.

"The lawsuit by @MCzerwienski, @LiliaKilburn, and @amulyamandava ... may present an opportunity for this generation to begin to forge a new model for academia, in which solidarity isn’t just about protecting one’s powerful friends."

Rest in power, bell hooks. You taught me so much: about embodied scholarship, about radical love, about revolutionary life. I feel so grateful and so sad.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

It's happening in front of our eyes: the stifling of democracy in the UK, with even more dictator's powers being slipped into the Police Bill. Yet the entire Establishment looks the other way. We must fight this as if our lives depend on it. They might.
