Just going to leave this here

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

No they have not!

Totally agree with you. This is where I am at with nothing left in my metaphorical pockets but with more and more demands. Literally cannot cope or function for much longer like this. Labour was our last hope ….

Empty Shelves http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/edeka-german-supermarket-empty-shelves-racism-diversity-largest-chain-a7908551.html What do...

I’m challenging negative attitudes about immigration in this week’s #NoOutsiders assembly. Why did this shop in Germany remove all foreign - made produce from the shelves for a day? #PSHE #Inclusion #schools no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/06/empt...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia prayed with his family and embraced his wife before being detained again on Monday by immigration authorities.

He and his family are being unlawfully persecuted only because the infant in the WH can't admit he was wrong.

Shame on Trump and his minions for this!

What fucking bullshit is this? Telling gay groups who they’re allowed to include? Fuck you, EHRC. Fuck. You.

Trans pride flag flying on a pole with a quote overlay advocating for inclusive feminism, stating exclusion of trans people aligns with patriarchy, attributed to @elcronk and shared by The Left Bible.

JK, are you listening? Oh, that’s right, you never do any more.

Books mentioning slavery, civil rights removed from shelves at Fort Campbell schools - ClarksvilleNow.com At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

My latest article for @neunion.bsky.social Educate magazine is about non-fiction. It's often overlooked when talking about reading in the classroom and it shouldn't be. An exciting non-fiction text can engage readers just as well as any other. @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social @teresacremin.bsky.social

Anyone else feel like we need the prequel to the Handmaids Tale to come out? It seems like these current times would be an appropriate precursor to Gilead.

On The Wall by Anne Fine is an outstanding story about the transition to secondary school but, more importantly, it's about the importance of learning to accept yourself and understand the value of calm in a chaotic world. Finley is a delightfully complex protagonist. Loved it.

And here’s the transcript of a looooong interview I did with auteur Richard Kelly in Venice Beach and Santa Monica, all about SOUTHLAND TALES

Hi! Decided to leave Twitter (can’t bring myself to use its other name) for good! Followed everyone that Simon Smith follows as I seem to basically agree with almost everything he says! Lo and behold - all my education faves were there! Appreciate all the follow backs I can get!
