It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world. Don't let him be forgotten.

"who’s going to be checking under the skirts of those women who don’t fit the fantasy of women’s sports ... To say exclude trans people, always enforce the biological standard – is to give the bullies control over every woman’s life" livesrunning.wordpress.com/2025/04/16/t...

The world is literally and figuratively burning. We're on the cusp of a third world war. We're facing historic income disparities; the revival of once eradicated diseases. But the West is going full court press against trans women?! Proof that you can't separate transphobia from fascism.

This is an unmitigated disaster, for both trans rights and for science policy. If you are familiar with human sexual development you know “biological sex” is a strange tangle of factors and that our gender/sexual phenotypes are not discrete.

Sending all my love and solidarity to trans and non-binary people today and all days. Cis people - this country has shown that it is institutionally transphobic so resist, object, protest, offer your services and stick your head above the parapet.

During #BlackMaternalHealthWeek and always, we uplift the twelve Black women that established the Reproductive Justice framework. They knew that it is never enough to have rights if we do not also have access, and that improving our health means improving our safety, security, and overall wellbeing.

This is a really important point — when we point out that governments are crippling HE by attacking visas, we also need to a) talk about international students as people not £££ and also b) point out why overseas tuition fees have become an apparent panacea for UK universities

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

When the Home Office was trialling their visit visa (racist) algorithm, academics/campaigners were the first people to be trapped. The traffic light would flag their country of origin as too risky, even where it was obvious that they had been invited to speak. It continues without the algorithm.

The Trump administration plans to fine migrants under deportation order $998/day if they don't leave, and intends to seize property if they don't pay. They also intend to apply the fines retroactively for the last fine years. Racial capitalism in its starkest form. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Most of Huddersfield bears little resemblance to Labour's 'red wall' stereotype. It is struggling economically though, and if the uni goes bust, it might well be the final nail in the coffin of the town centre.

It cannot be overstated how insane and dangerous this argument is. They're saying that the government can illegally abduct and imprison people—and even admit that it screwed up!—and then remove the ability of any court to intervene by shipping the victim to a foreign gulag.

What Canada doesn't tell you, but should, is that you should try to enter through pre-clearance at nearly every Canadian airport (excluding Billy Bishop) if possible. You can only be denied, and not detained by ICE, if you run into trouble in pre-clearance. I speak from experience.

This is absolutely disgusting. We need to do better by our students. Our duty as teachers is to educate and support our students. This is NOT the role that universities should be playing in our current hellscape. Keep ICE out of education.
