Convincing people that their lives are crap because of small boat crossings rather than 14 years of Tory austerity is what got us here. Stop dehumanising refugees and immigrants.

saying 'stop the boats' over and over again as if they don't have human beings in them leads to libraries being torched. if you want someone to blame, blame the right wing media and all those mps who made immigration a dirty word in the last election.

So many Russian bots man. They even managed to write loads of op-eds in national newspapers and speeches for several high profile politicians.

Here’s just a few examples of Daily Mail headlines that have fanned the flames of hate and normalised Islamophobic and anti-migrant rhetoric #GMB

It's all been a big misunderstanding. You're supposed to VOTE for respectable people in suits to inflict cruelty on asylum seekers and migrants, not do it yourselves

Hegemonic Excess Theory is the idea that the leading class's dominant narratives, rather than tranquilising the population, can magnify, slip out of their grasp, and create unknown consequences.

Our children will ask how we allowed such a massacre to happen in plain sight. How will we answer them? What crime did these four-day-old twins commit? Were they Hamas too? Where are the sanctions against Israel? Such inhumanity, and yet some people still choose silence.

Despite overwhelming evidence of Israeli war crimes, the UK government continues to export weapons to Israel. End this complicity. Immediately suspend all arms sales.

Writing an academic piece that is too long for an article, but too short for a conventional book. Think it will hit around 30k words. Any decent publishers that you'd recommend?

Very happy to see my article on anger, critique, and resistance published in Hypatia Journal. It argues for a less moralized understanding of anger highlighting that emancipatory anger is a political achievement doi.org/10.1017/hyp.20…
