the fact that we've seen countless images like this and it's done nothing to move the political needle is the most horrifying reality of my lifetime.

The Government has wasted over £3,000,000,000 on junior doctor strikes — more than double the cost of settling their whole claim.

Failure to negotiate is costly.

The Just Stop Oil actions are interesting because they provoke the kind of emergency outraged all-hands physical response to an attack on cherished collective things that climate change itself should yield

How is the crypto industry squaring off with climate activists? What can green criminology learn from STS? I wrote about these issues for @Relecrim https://t.co/TGeyy53IWv

This is a war on civilians.

On doctors trying to save lives.

On aid workers trying to feed Palestinians.

On teachers trying to put a smile on the faces of children.

This is a war on humanity — and our government should never be forgiven for its contemptible complicity.

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is too silent about the ongoing war in Gaza. Here is how I see things based on reading hundreds of articles and watching thousands of videos and images about the war. This tweet chain contains my conclusions as a sort of executive summary.

It was great to have Kate Towey from the @DigiPovAlliance on campus yesterday to talk with our students about tackling inequalities & poverty in the digital age. Learned about some great DPA campaigns (& our students had some pretty good ideas for future campaigns too!)

Ofc the inverse of this is also true: all workers should support #RMT because their victory can pave the way for everyone else.

[Ronan Burtenshaw @ronanburtenshaw]

Corporations set the prices in our economy.

So why isn't the media asking CEOs, couldn't you produce more instead of hiking prices? Take a hit to profits? Cut executive salaries?

Because the media is owned by billionaires – and they want to blame inflation on workers' wages.
