1/ Three things to unpack here:
a) academic freedom
b) conduct towards students
c) journalists behaviour
2/ Academic freedom must include the freedom to say unpopular or unfashionable things. Equally it includes my freedom to express my view that "homosexuality is bestiality" is a view which only a tedious reactionary buffoon could hold.
3/ Universities are environments where students should be exposed to different points of view, even if they strongly disagree with those views. The point is to develop skills of assessing arguments and evidence.

1/ Some additional points to add to David's fact check of the latest no deal Brexit claims
2/ The "no deal is more legally certain" claim is false. I debunked this nonsense in a previous thread
3/ As for rolling over existing FTAs: even if they are all in place on time with identical terms, the UK trading position will be worse because the rules of origin will change, ie goods partly produced in the UK may no longer count as EU goods

Day 13 of the Bates v Post Office trial at court 26 of the High Court Rolls Building has just begun. This walk to work this morning through Inner Temple was rather lovely, but now: let’s get down to business [cracks knuckles]
Mr Patrick Green QC for the claimants is on his feet.

PG "The reality is no one expected the Post Office to terminate on 3 months notice without cause.” #postofficetrial

Nothing in this thread is a direct quote unless it is in direct quotes.
PG talking about that in terms of NTC switchover and evidence from Brian Trotter about the reality of that contractual situation as played out. Some SPMRs were not allowed to give 3 months notice - they had to stay on until a replacement could be found.

Top Myths About #Asylum and why you should care:

Myth: Asylum seekers should file at US consulates in their home countries.

Reality: Asylum can only be sought at the border or inside the US. US consulates do not accept asylum applications.
Myth: Asylum seekers must present themselves at a port of entry.

Reality: The law (8 USC 1158) specifically says a person may apply for asylum whether they enter legally or not.

They can be technically prosecuted for unlawful entry, but that doesn't prevent asylum.
Myth: Asylum is only for political persecution, not for fear of gangs and terrorists.

Reality: There is NO requirement in the law that an asylum seeker's fear be politically based.

I've won many gang and terrorist related cases.

Today I’m going to come in land to #Arizona where there has always been a strong Irish presence right back to the first mining communities that started there in the nineteenth century. Today an Irish castle stands tall in #Phoenix which is home to @azirish_library (pic below)
@azirish_library was made possible by support from the late Norman McClelland (below) - a proudly Scotch Irish Arizonan. Norman was awarded the @GlobalIrish Presidential Distinguished Service Award in 2016 by @PresidentIRL for his commitment to supporting Irish culture & heritage
The library is co-located with @azirishcenter & a very thoughtful & beautiful famine memorial (below) which I have been told is made of old & new stone creating a door to a better future. Members of the community are celebrated at the annual Anam Cara awards each October.

New lawsuit filed today by a Guatemalan asylum-seeker asking for immediate reunification with her 9-year-old daughter: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4613… Earlier on the significance of individual lawsuits as the govt tries to meet a nationwide July 26 deadline: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
In the latest case, the plaintiff says she and her daughter were separated June 1. The mother passed a credible fear interview and has been released on bond, and says she refused to sign a form that tied reunification to removal from the US assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4613…
Update: Guatemalan asylum-seeker who filed a lawsuit earlier today in DC federal court seeking reunification with her daughter will be reunified later today, per the woman's legal team

What is going on in #Italy after March 4th elections and the subsequent political deadlock? A quick and concise update on the thrilling party negatiotions/talks that officially started yesterday. Thread coming up shortly. 🇮🇹
1. Here I am (sorry I had to get some food at the 24h supermarket 😊). Well, the deadlock stays but there are some very interesting news that, at least, keep new elections at bay for now. And, beside the M5S-LEGA populist liaison, there is a new potential alliance at sight
#Italy
2. But let’s go through it. The first thing is that M5S populist and young leader Di Maio has explicitly opened to an alliance either with right-wing LEGA or with centre-left PD (Renzi’s party). “Let’s make a coalition pact like in Germany” Di Maio said.
#Italy

1/ BREAKING: @TheJusticeDept has just authorized immigration judges to deny #asylum applications without a hearing. Like most Trump-era administrative violence, it has been unnoticed & unreported.

*sound of Scotch pouring into glass*

THREAD

#TrumpImmigration #HereToStay
2/ Important context: As head of @TheJusticeDept, the Attorney General has final say over all cases before the administrative #immigration courts. AG may snatch a case away from the Board of Immigration Appeals anytime and decide it himself by directing BIA to refer it to him.
3/ Here is the 2014 BIA holding--upholding precedent from 1989--which the AG was so intent on getting to his own desk. It may not mean much to anyone who had the good sense not to go to law school, but take a shot. (No, really: *take an actual shot* and give it a try.)
