The American Association of University Professors and other groups will ask a federal judge in Massachusetts to block the Trump administration’s revocation of visas and detention of noncitizen students and scholars nationwide. The lawsuit follows a wave of over 1,000 visa cancellations
In Marvel's Daredevil: Born Again, villain Wilson Fisk, now Mayor of NYC, leverages a "free port" to orchestrate his criminal empire. This fictional narrative eerily parallels the UK's real-life establishment of free ports—zones with relaxed regulations and tax breaks.
Vox Political delves into this intersection of fiction and reality, exploring how freeports can become havens for illicit activities and economic disparities. Let's question why such models are being adopted in the UK and what it means for the average citizen.

Unite policy conference contains covert attack on international solidarity
By SKWAWKBOX
Graham-backers slammed for motion activists believe is designed to provide cover for general secretary's refusal to show solidarity with Palestinians, workers
Sharon Graham, general secretary of the Unite union, has been repeatedly slammed by members, branches and officers for refusing to implement Unite’s democratic policies supporting Palestine and demanding an end to the Gaza genocide – and for her opposition to protest and direct action against UK arms manufacturers supplying Israel.
Rather than come out emphatically in solidarity with the people of Gaza facing Israel’s genocide, Graham has been alleged by Unite insiders to have:
banned Unite officials and national banners from pro-Gaza protests
banned and smeared films and books exposing the ‘Labour antisemitism’ scam
placed an official under investigation who refused to cancel a Palestine solidarity fringe event at Labour’s 2023 annual conference
told her chief of staff to threaten a soon-to-retire official with the loss of a pension bonus if he did not soften his support for Palestinians
Her supporters also prevented debate and votes on Gaza at a meeting of the union’s elected executive – and last month Unite members publicly accused Graham of a ‘systematic’ attack on union democracy to prevent debate over, and solidarity with, the people of Gaza. She has also stopped the union’s affiliation with Stop the War out of the same commitment to the arms industry and because of the organisation’s anti-genocide position and protests. But Unite members and their branches are pushing back.
