Colleagues and I wrote this for Trinity News to inform and involve our students - and their families, if they pay the fees - in the conversation about systemic precarity, which has a huge impact on them and their education. I urge colleagues at other Irish unis to do the same!

We believe Linda Doyle’s recent email addressing TCD Students' Union 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈’s campaign against increases in master’s fees is unacceptable and sets a dangerous precedent for students’ rights and activism on campus. Let’s unpack what’s wrong! 🧵

Trinity is facing the threat of industrial action from thousands of staff over restrictions on promotions for professional staff – an issue it has privately admitted has long been a “source of discontent” on campus

Trivializing the young has perennially been a tactic through which power mobilizes reactionary forces against emergent movements, particularly those driven by students. The narrative recurrently paints the young as immature, naive, inexperienced, and deficient.

To be clear this would be a criminal offence, punishable with up to two years in prison.

“Israel has never accepted calling the ‘crime’ in Srebrenica a genocide” said the Israeli Ambassador Vilan. “Srebrenica should not be called a genocide. Israel has been summoned to the Hague for the alleged genocide in Gaza”

They are terrified of the precedent set by Bosnia.

An austerity-voting Tory putting on a red tie and insisting to invited video cameras that Sir Keir is the man sends a message alright, and that message is: fuck you, there is no escape.

Israel sends the civilians to 'safe zones' to kill them there.

If this is your response to someone who is out at a protest getting thrown to the ground by police, I’m certain you are not interested whatsoever in actual solidarity or building power of any kind 👍

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

We stand with the campus protesters.

We're now offering free ebooks on Palestine, mass protests, and student rebellions.

13,866 in emergency accommodation - another rise.

We need to get out on the streets.

And vote out landlord parties and all who'd prop them up on June 7th!
