. @uniteucu.bsky.social's dispute needs to be resolved. It needs to be resolved bc Congress voted for @ucu.org.uk leadership to do so. It needs to be resolved bc it's the right thing to do. It needs to be revolved bc not resolving it makes things harder for branches in dispute. Solidarity!

Good article from ACR. I particularly like this: "Solidarity is not charity, nor is it merely looking after one’s own. Solidarity is an aspirational and universal bond of shared hope that recognises that oppression – all oppression – is a barrier to a more liberated world. " 1/2

When, some months ago, we first posted our members’ testimonies - lived experiences of working for UCU - our employer’s only response was a demand they be removed. No contrition, shame or concern for their staff: just an anger we’d shared them. #UniteVoices uniteucu.wordpress.com/campaign-cam...

I can't believe that some of the UK media is still trying to say "The Supreme Court ruling isn't a victory for either side" when the cis supremacists are smoking cigars and popping champagne and we are attending mass protests. It's such a brazen lie

Trans people elicit support in numbers the GCs can only dream of. Their support is all from the elite - media, politicians, institutions, not the people - and that is why they will - WILL - lose.

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

Reading back over Labour's 2024 Manifesto. It has done none of this - but worse than that it has allowed the institutions that are supposed to protect trans people to continue to attack them: the EHRC, the OfS, the NHS. What a betrayal.

As it should be, a growing list of trade unions are releasing unequivocal statements of support for trans people in the face of the SC ruling. Trade unions are built on solidarity and we will always stand against oppression. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

If you suggest a CEO should take an £8K pay cut, they will call you a communist. If you suggest a binman should not take an £8K pay cut, they will also call you a communist. Make it make sense 🤷‍♂️

I have one year of data regarding articles on trans people in the Mail, Times, Telegraph and Guardian/Observer. In 365 days, they have printed a combined 1,075 articles, nearly all attacks. A more detailed post will be up on the Trans Agenda later this week, so be sure to subscribe hleehurley.com

It absolutely is absurd, but part of the underlying issue here is that those pushing this theory are doing so because they see "academic freedom" as not being just different from, but superseding free speech. This is at least partially about silencing student criticism of their lecturers.
