Okay, maybe there is U.S. fascism

This is what happens when you sit on a lawn to protest a foreign government carrying out a genocide with full US support.

Good to see University of Sydney now rejecting the absurd smears of the Zionist far-right over the meaning of 'intifada'.

One of the things that weirds me out about Australia is how so many people believe that politics should be 'polite'. Politics is never going to be polite because it's about the contestation of *power*. 'I want to fuck you up with my policy, but be polite to me' is horseshit

Universities should be spaces for radical collective action.

Is there oil on campuses because why is the US invading them

You're asking too many questions

Even more intense than Columbia by all accounts. This is citywide repression.

Vale. An immense loss to the Australian historical profession. A marvelous obituary for Lyndall Ryan from her friend and colleague, Ann Curthoys. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
