Barely two months ago, we lost Professor Jason Arday. Thousands grieved. Institutions across higher education spoke about inclusion and belonging.
Now Nathan Cofnas is being given a room at Oriel College, Oxford, to ask whether DEI is undermining higher education.

If a great Irish writer’s books can no longer be published in the UK because she stands with Palestine, the question isn’t what law might Sally Rooney have broken, it’s what sort of country has Britain become. irishtimes.com/culture/books…

Qué forma tan extraordinaria de mostrar una de las múltiples consecuencias del genocidio: Gaza tiene ahora el mayor número de niños amputados per cápita en el mundo, según datos publicados por la ONG Aldeas infantiles.
Un extraordinario trabajo del fotoperiodista gazatí Saher Alghorra, que muestra cómo la población de la Franja intenta reconstruir sus vidas mientras el genocidio sigue en curso.

🚨BREAKING: Israeli forces killed Palestinian academic and Head of the Multimedia Department at the University of Palestine, Dr. Yasmine Khamis Al-Boubou, alongside three other Palestinian women in an Israeli strike on a residential building in western Gaza City.

Today is Edin Džeko’s last dance, and I wanted to revisit this special letter he wrote to the children of Bosnia about surviving war as a child. His words resonate painfully with the horrors still unfolding in the world today:
“In the end, we survived. Looking back, I’m amazed at how strong we were. We were just little kids. But there was no point to the war. All those innocent people killed, and for what?
For money. Power. Ego.
For nothing.
When there is war on the news today, I feel sick.
I don’t want to see it anywhere.
For some reason, adults never learn.”

Beautiful tifos from Turkish side Konyaspor as they face Palestine in a friendly match tonight.
Today, Palestine’s B team faces Konyaspor @konyaspor in a friendly match.
This is how the Turkish club welcomed the Palestinian team, paying tribute to the athletes and journalists killed by Israel in Gaza.

Dear sports teams and individual athletes, musicians, artists, writers, and others:
take note what moral clarity looks like.
it's not difficult to choose moral principle over fleeting inconvenience.

The Olympics are a displacement machine in a city where residents have been fighting the proliferation of illegal short term rentals, Ellis Act evictions, and bloodsucking landlords.
Fuck the Olympics and the Airbnb lobby poisoning our city.

"Lo diré aquí en TV, no iré a miles de kilómetros de aquí para ayudar a asesinar y matar a otra gente pobre, simplemente para continuar la dominación de los amos blancos esclavistas, los enemigos del pueblo están aquí, no en Vietnam".
Se cumplen 56 años desde que Muhammad Ali recuperó su licencia de boxeo tras más de 3 años sancionado por negarse a participar en la guerra imperialista de EEUU contra Vietnam.
A pesar de que se encontraba en la cúspide de su carrera donde más dinero ganaba, Muhammad Ali eligió la dignidad y ser humano ante la barbarie genocida de EEUU.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya'nın oğlu:
"Dünyanın tüm özgür insanlarına, insan vicdanlarına ve tüm sivil toplum kuruluşlarına sesleniyorum.
Babam artık nefes almakta ve konuşmakta zorlanıyor. Yüzü, gördüğü işkence nedeniyle tanınmaz halde.
Büyük bir yalnızlığa terk edildik. Dünyanın tüm özgür insanlarına ve kalbinde bir nebze insanlık olan herkese, çok geç olmadan babamın hayatını kurtarmaları için yalvarıyoruz.
Belki de bu son yardım çığlığımız olacak. Belki bir daha babamdan haber alamayacağız.
Sizden tek istediğimiz, size yalvardığımız şey şu: Gafletinizden uyanın, çok geç olmadan. Sessizlik babamın işkencesine ortak olmaktır."

Before marching into Gaza, an Israeli settler from New York explained to me that that she wants to live on the beach in Gaza after the Palestinians are cleaned out.
"We have lists already of about 500 families that are willing, on the drop of a hat to move to Gaza...People are going to start building towns. We have the names of towns. It's already being planned."

Proud of the Irish artists withdrawing from the Ed Sheeran tour.
Time for the Irish footballers to consider their conscience as well.
It's not too late to be lauded as heroes.
