It is baffling how a country founded on the ethnic cleansing of indigenous peoples, that had to go to war with itself to stop itself enslaving people, and that had formal segregation till 50 years ago has come to this.

I can't help marvelling that a story about 50 dead Muslims, about whom we know little still, has become an endless encomium to one white woman doing her job.

To people I quite like who are now busy blaming Jeremy Corbyn: short thread Let me preface what I am going to say by noting that I've never stinted on criticism at expense of solidarity. But I also didn't withhold solidarity in favour of criticism at this crunch time as you did.

BTW, most of the awful images you are seeing of breakdown in India are coming from private sector hospitals. The public ones, already severely inadequate, don't even bear thinking about. You are also seeing the consequences of one of world's poorest public healthcare sectors.

If you are pro-British- Empire, you are pro-racism. The two are completely intertwined. An antiracist imperialist is an oxymoron. Only racists can make the case for colonialism. Own it.

Isn't it funny how the 'civilization' that made a sacred virtue of private property also thinks it's fine to grab other people's land so long as you can deem them 'barbarians'?

There is, in short, a vast racist massacre taking place right now & basically, you are either for it or against it. It's not much more complex, even if that's what you are hiding behind.

OMG, I checked. This is really real for real. "Biden's great, great, great grandfather, Edward Blewitt, left Ballina, co Mayo, Ireland for America during the Irish famine 170 years ago, which could mean he is well disposed towards Great Britain."--the Telegraph

How massively juvenile to treat mask removal as a sign of 'freedom'. If anything, wearing them enables everyone to enjoy 'freedom' safely. It is unnecessary and criminal to remove them in indoor public spaces as case numbers rise.

With regret but full solidarity, I have pulled out of a speaking event this fall @Columbia University. The student suspensions continue as does punitive behaviour towards staff. 1400 academics signed a boycott letter in the early summer, & until things change, we must stay firm.
