The current Spanish higher education landscape (characterized by evaluations, overcrowding of classrooms, commitment to internationalization) has social, employment, and health repercussions for Early Career Academics (ECAs). However, this group of academics is often described as passive subjects when it comes to challenging the current situation in higher education. In this study, we sought to understand the attitudes of resistance and criticism in ECAs by analyzing the activity (through NodeXL) and content (through Nvivo12) of the Twitter accounts of two Spanish ECA associations. Twitter (now X) was selected since social media has emerged as a new form of social empowerment and democratization. It is concluded that there are attitudes of resistance among the accounts analyzed. However, for ECAs, criticism of the evaluation system and emphasis on scientific production is relegated to the background, with criticism of their working conditions taking priority. Finally, we highlight the significant and impactful role of associations in social and political struggles.

当前的西班牙高等教育格局（以评估、教室过度拥挤、对国际化的承诺为特征）对早期职业学者 (ECA) 产生了社会、就业和健康影响。然而，在挑战高等教育现状时，这群学者常常被描述为被动主体。在本研究中，我们通过分析两个西班牙 ECA 协会 Twitter 帐户的活动（通过 NodeXL）和内容（通过 Nvivo12），试图了解 ECA 中的抵制和批评态度。选择 Twitter（现在的 X）是因为社交媒体已经成为一种新的社会赋权和民主化形式。结论是，所分析的账户中存在抵制态度。然而，对于 ECA 来说，对评价体系的批评和对科学生产的重视被退居幕后，对工作条件的批评才是优先的。最后，我们强调协会在社会和政治斗争中的重要和有影响力的作用。
