The term 'community wealth' and ' #communitywealthbuilding ' is increasingly being used in many places across the world. Including USA, Canada, Scotland and South Korea. Reflecting real policy and practical action. Sadly the term seems to be now less common in England.

WATCH: Noelle McAfee, Chair of Emory's Philosophy Department, sat down w/ me 24 hours after she was arrested, charged w/ disorderly conduct.

'I think that charge is totally bogus. Who is being disorderly here? The cops wrestling & pummeling somebody, or somebody standing there?'

Rachel Reeves declared Labour will be “the most pro-business government this country has ever seen”

For i newspaper I look into the substance of that claim - and the dangers of making it reality ... inews.co.uk/opinion/rachel…

Some outstanding letters of protest here from NYU (New York University) faculty to the President and Provost, but the below from Steven Hahn is pure 🔥 🔥 🔥 : facultyforpalestine.education/statements/fac…

Martin O'Neill The Guardian Same here! What has possessed them to regale us with garbage from this first class twat? No answer needed.

If the The Guardian were trying very precisely to get me to cancel my subscription, there could be no better imaginable strategy than running a cover feature interviewing Jeremy Clarkson. It’s hard to convey how little I want to read this, and how much less I want to pay to read it.

Carolin Fohlin is one of the economists whose work I admire the most. I saw her speak in 2016 at Goethe-Universität when she was a guest professor for financial history. She's a leading scholar of the history of German finance and corporate governance. She knows what fascism looks like.

A masked police officer arresting the Chair of the Philosophy department at Emory University for taking part in anti-genocide protests. This feels like a historic image.

Can you imagine how the British media would report entirely peaceful senior academics being arrested and handcuffed at protests in China? They would, rightly, call it an authoritarian outrage.

So what’s this?

We all know about revolutionary contagion. What I am baffled by is the reactionary contagion that has gripped every university admin where there has been protest. Like they looked at how badly Shafik fucked up and they said I want some of that?

I was privileged to be a visiting professor at Emory University in 1998, I’m proud to identity with this student protest. ✊️✊️

Too many university leaders have seen their task as bridging the gap between governing elites and universities. It worked for a time but the last 10 years have seen a campaign against universities as a threat - this has caught out leaders like Minouche Shafik.

my colleague Noelle McAfee, political theorist, feminist, and chair of the philosophy department is getting arrested by the Atlanta police for peacefully protesting. shame on Emory University

This cannot stand. This is not a public order issue, it’s a state suppression of thought issue.

Daily Mail salivating over state violence against young women. Shocking but unsurprising. 👇

The university made it a point yesterday to remind students of the consequences if they established an encampment on the campus. I am not surprised they did so. Through their faculty, universities and colleges are wonderful sites of knowledge production. But in their corporate…

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 might as well cite her...

One of the weirdest things about contemporary liberal so-called democracies is all the moralising one has to put up with when criminal political decisions are justified. War, migration, campus repression, you name it. As if they think we're all idiots, who can't spot propaganda.
