Crushing! 12 days ago, Hind (6) called the emergency line & begged for her life while she was stuck in a car surrounded by Israeli tanks & soldiers that slaughtered her entire family Today her decomposing body was found as well as the bodies of paramedics who tried to rescue her

her whole family was killed in front of her. then she called for help, and the people who came to help her were killed, and so was she. for what? what was six year old hind’s crime? wanting to live? thinking she could be saved?

Protest tomorrow!

The branch has just published its analysis of the financial situation of the university oxfordbrookes.web.ucu.org.uk/oxford-brookes… We follow this by our strategy in response to ongoing cuts, redundancies and closures HUMAN BEINGS BEFORE VANITY BUILDINGS! oxfordbrookes.web.ucu.org.uk/human-beings-b…

I did not approve these edits and I condemn the moral cowardice behind them. Name the hand behind the deaths of 15,000 children. It is Israeli violence, funded and supported by the US and the UK.

The number of UK universities making redundancies has now reached 58. It will climb much further. qmucu.org/qmul-transform…

Our branch meeting today and AGM voted to start an open letter for Brookes staff and students to sign to support Oxford Action for Palestine. So watch this space! A group of members visited yesterday and showed their support.

An absolutely brilliant piece on ‘protected beliefs’ “Neither racism nor transphobia should be understood as being about hurt feelings of those named as such. They are instead how we describe statements that position racial minorities or trans people in problematic ways”

‘Imagine falsely arresting someone, keeping them in tight ass zip tie cuffs for 7 hours (before dropping charges) and then sending them a text asking how satisfied they were with the experience’ All our solidarity with Film The Police LA, now asked to rate the UCLA Police Dept
