The Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective strongly condemns “To Iran’s political prisoners, trapped ‘between two blades of a scissors’,” the open letter published on 20 August 2026 in The Guardian and signed by Western academics and cultural workers in the imperialist core.

As usual, it's the tuition fees & debt of home students that are related in discussions on plagiarism- never the HIGH debt that migrant students are forced into to pay higher tuition, visa & IHS fees. & who are disproportionately accused of plagiarism? Migrant students!

While we agree with your general premise on plagiarism in UK higher education, @JennyAThatcher, leaving out the abuse migrant students get and how it ties in with university culture, border violence in and outside of the university, should not be left out.

UK academics who bemoan the lack of migrant student enrolment at their respective universities, & fighting mass staff redundancies need to be reflective of their responsibility of colluding w/ processes that treat migrant students in this manner. End of 🧵

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

For those that don't know: Ann Widdecombe was a staunch defender of the policy of handcuffing pregnant women in prison to their beds as they went through labour. She also refused access to prisoners who required midwives and antenatal care.

"being an activist is a privilege" is a CIA-concocted psyop to convince youth and the rest of the population that activism is just something rich people do because they can afford to do it and poor people dont have that privilege

Moments like these rly bring out all the contradictions in our liberal analysis of “political prisoners.” As usual, everything becomes about the individual - whether he was good/bad, liked/disliked - rather than about the state’s attempt to estb legal and political precedent.

The same Judge which issued contempt of court proceedings against the leading barrister of Palestine Action activists, reinstated a barrister who lied about his qualifications. The stitch-up of the Filton trial is entirely political.

🚨NEW: KC Anu Mohindru has been allowed to continue being a barrister despite falsely claiming that he studied medicine at Oxford University and for claiming that he was a qualified doctor. He also claimed that he had played cricket for the Bar, for Lashings Cricket Club and for MCC, and that he was a cricketing blue having represented Oxford in a varsity match against Cambridge. A tribunal disbarred him for telling his 23 Essex Street interviewers a “reckless, foolish and completely unnecessary lie” about studying at Oxford, and because he “doubled down" on his CV. On appeal at the High Court, Mr Justice Johnson overturned  Mohindru's expulsion, stating that it "would be wrong to impose the ultimate sanction merely because dishonesty is present".

What happened to @cenkuygur & @hasanthehun is wrong. That said, @OxfordUnion this isn't just a "free speech" issue, but also how immigration in the UK is weaponised in all facets, from solidarity to Palestine, to excluding working class migrants & the treatment of asylum seekers.

tbh our britishness has been in limbo ever since the government decided they could rescind a teenagers citizenship because her grandparents were born in bangladesh. the idea that poc must be well behaved to maintain citizenship would always trickle down and impact all of us...
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
She lost her citizenship because she joined ISIS. edition.cnn.com/2024/02/23/eur…

It’s hard to take Nakba “commemorations” seriously when they come from officials who do nothing to stop it and allow it to continue, including through allowing the sale of stolen land. This is not a moment for politicians to be applauded while the Nakba continues.

USAID getting cut, DEI getting cut, dunno maybe it’s all a wake up call that true sovereignty is the only way - and as long as whatever “studies” are housed in institutions owned by the ruling class it will never be revolutionary.

Four released Palestine Action hunger strikers at the mass action in protest of the unlawful ban. They refused food for over two months for demands which included immediate bail and lifting the ban on Palestine Action. The govt was willing to let them die for an unlawful ban.

Nothing more hilarious than leftists that live in the belly of the beast,that couldn’t stop their fellow comrades from being kidnapped by ICE and deported or effectively organise BDS, or the same leftists that complained of “organising fatigue” telling Iran how to fight the Empire.
