1/7 Now that there’s some movement on reparative justice for Atlantic slavery you’ll see an awful lot more in the media about the Royal Navy sacrificing 1,600 men to save 160,000 from slavery, along with the claim that this constitutes prior reparation. Let’s examine it.

Arriving in Sheffield in the 1970s visitors were greeted by the Corporation Abattoir on the left and Nunnery Colliery coal yard on the right.

These superb essays indicate where the heritage sector stands - as a battleground in a right wing culture war backlash against Black lives mattering - but also document how it carries on truth-telling nonetheless. Writing the foreword was cathartic.

The very people who backed the hunt for Jason Arday that ended in his death are now setting themselves up as independent arbiters of his academic conduct.

By @NafeezAhmed
Backed by Reform UK megadonor Ben Delo, the Committee for Academic Freedom defended Arday’s accusers and has now commissioned a report into his appointment by Cambridge University

The BBC has exclusively platformed anti-trans voices, denied trans people’s identities, axed LGBTQ+ programming & spread misinformation that fuelled homophobic abuse against gay men.
This isn’t simply about editorial guidelines. It’s institutional hostility towards LGBTQ+ people
A BBC spokesperson has told TV Zone: “As is standard practice on any entertainment show on the BBC and in line with our editorial guidelines, appropriate steps are taken to reduce the inclusion of any overt branding or slogans that may be present, regardless of the wording or statement in question.” #Strictly

Just a reminder: 163 articles were published on Jason Arday in the week after he resigned. Same outlets: 13 articles on Cambridge academic James Orr after allegations of misconduct & a broadcast showing him seemingly engaging in illegal activity.

90 years ago, the Jarrow Crusaders marched nearly 300 miles to London in protest at unemployment and poverty. Thomas Cantrell Dugdale’s 1936 painting captures their arrival from a Piccadilly interior (possibly the Ritz).

1/5🧵 On British Colonialism, Illness, the plight of UK universities & early retirement:
Back when X was Twitter and violent racist propaganda was policed, I posted about my intention to write a new textbook overview of the British Empire, based on over 30 years of research.

El Matrimonio Igualitario ya es legal en 39 países.
El reconocimiento a la libertad ya alcanza a unas 1,500 millones de personas, casi el 20 % de la población mundial, siendo Nepal, Tailandia y Liechtenstein, los que más recientemente se han unido.

I recommend this superb account of what is at stake when we in the West allow authoritarian, racist leaders to hide the traces of the past.

On this day in 1984, Threads was broadcast for the first time. It was almost certainly inspired by this leaflet which was distributed to every household in the area by South Yorkshire County Council in 1982.

Well this is a surprise. @thetimes one of the first papers to bring the damning Church of England’s “slave Bible” to the broader public’s attention, after Black scholars have long proclaimed its significance. What will anti-Spire activists do now?

Excellent run down of facts about the Church of England’s extensive complicity in the most economically transformative & longest lasting crime against humanity - facts that prominent right wing activists against Project Spire are desperate to refute: theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Superb exposition from William Pettigrew of how slave trading (let alone the whole plantation complex that depended on it) was “enmeshed in the processes that produced the nation we know today”. theguardian.com/uk-news/comm…
