NOT UNDER OUR WATCH! Lithuanian gov wants to legalise pushbacks and create an institute of civilian border patrols who could use violence against migrants. If you are an academic, join our open letter to Lithuanian government against these amendments. docs.google.com/document/d/1yl…

Thought-provoking lecture today @UGent by @alim1213 on synergies between critical race theory and decoloniality and rejecting desire for universalism in order to build more complete accounts of social analysis. 👈

Yesterday we played football over the barbed wire in front of Lithuania's presidential palace. That was our protest against the cynical legalisation of migrant pushbacks and the ' human ping-pong' at the border. All my love today for activists and #sienosgrupe

Read every single world. "A Textbook Case of Genocide" by genocide scholar Roz Segal in Jewish Currents This is the "Again" of Never Again. It can still be stopped but only by us. We have no leaders. #gaza jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-cas…

Resist! Exist! #FreePalestine

We have to admire Jewish people of conscience everywhere who are refusing oppression & violence undertaken in their name. It is a tremendous act of courage to stand up to power in one's own community, particularly when that community has a very real history of shared suffering.
