Wow, a bloody month killed this boy! And Palestinians are alleging a well known fact! Every day the NYT wins prizes for anti-Palestinian bias and racism.

A new report found that Venezuelans shipped to El Salvador were beaten almost every day. The men sent to CECOT by the Trump administration used their own blood to write “we are migrants, not terrorists” on a bed sheet.

We argue in this peer-reviewed article that 'athleticide' is a modality of cultural genocide, in turn part of a larger genocidal project of eradication, and has been a feature of the US-NATO-funded Israeli state’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023.

22 authors in a new OA peer-reviewed article in Soc of Sport Journal: Israel is committing *athleticide* in Gaza, "an indispensable component of the overall genocidal campaign enforced by the Israeli settler colonial regime and bankrolled by the US." journals.humankinetics.com/view/journal...

Canada's annual military spending goes from $39B to $63B in one year. At least not everyone just shrugs.

Great to see a full-page ad in Le Devoir condemning Canada's military spending.

“Critics say” is the tell, and does it ever go on telling.

"Western media is largely ignoring that Kyiv has to rip young men off the streets amid recruitment shortages and desertions"

@nytimes.com has been so disappointing for so long, this piece explains it well. My hope is that the growing movement that Mamdani represents will reveal to mainstream ‘liberal’ readers how it’s so problematic

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

Here's a reminder that there's people out there who hold extreme views.

Barack Obama congratulated Democrats generally. Bill and Hillary Clinton congratulated Zohran Mamdani specifically. The last posts on the X accounts of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are ones expressing grief about the death of Dick Cheney. In case anyone was wondering.

Ceasefires mean nothing to the Israeli government. And our media is silent. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Rather beautifully, Professor Mahmood Mamdani's dedication in "Neither Settler Nor Native" is to his trail-blazing son, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. He quotes the revolutionary Chinese writer Lu Xun's famous concluding lines in "Hometown": 「其實地上本沒有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。」 -魯迅，故鄉 #everynightapoem

Here @picardonhealth.bsky.social rightfully takes on Parliament’s attacks on academic research in Canada.

Congratulations to our progressive municipal option in Gatineau, Action Gatineau, for a decisive win last night, and to Maude Marquis-Bissonnette elected mayor on the heels of a positive campaign focused on environment, transit, and housing.

*Radical Histories of Palestine and Palestinians* – A new Call for Proposals from Radical History Review. Abstract proposals due November 30, 2025: www.radicalhistoryreview.org/radical-hist...

For all the (lack of) coverage it's received, you could be forgiven for not knowing that Israel invaded Syria, occupied several hundred square miles, and is now deploying its West Bank tactics to cut Syrian villages off from each other.

Yes! Contact them and sign this petition here —it’s not just about EDI data! So much personally identifying information for applicants and reviewers will not be protected! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Canadian researchers should be aware the there is a motion before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research to force Tricouncils to hand over disaggregated peer review data on all applications: Applicant names, profiles, demographics Reviewers names, profiles, comments, and scores

The United Nations reports the 1,001st Palestinian death in the West Bank since October 2023. That’s hundreds more civilians Israel has killed in the *West Bank* than Israeli civilians Hamas killed on Oct 7, 2024.

"We are the only species to exhibit homophobia." This isn't new, but it deserves loud and proud public airing: the rigid binary approach to gender and sexuality is unnatural. www.cbc.ca/documentarie...

This was a 2025 highlight: Spending three days on St. Nicholas Island with high school students from the Kahnawà:ke Survival School along with historical, archaeological, and environmental experts from Kahnawà:ke. What a cool learning experience! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgbS...

When they say "Marxists" they are talking about progressives, but they are also talking about Jews. And by "Islamists" they of course mean all Muslims. And the tell for both of these is that they are telling both of our religions that Jesus is king. This is Christian nationalism in action.

Exciting things are happening in Kahnawà:ke!

Congratulations to Crystal Gail Fraser, awarded the @csnrec.bsky.social Best Book in Canadian Studies Prize for BY STRENGTH, WE ARE STILL HERE!

Ever wonder why so few athletes in North America have spoken about Israel's genocide in Gaza? We did too... so we asked some to find out. Answers include "fear of losing sponsorships," "the McCarthyist response from government,” and “Zionists gaslighting and doxxing people."

"He is not humble. “I can say with confidence that he believes that he is always the smartest person in the room,” said a staffer, “and that he feels that there’s little value to derive from any voices around him.” *Sigh*

History faculty at Columbia & Barnard decrying the harassment of @mark-bray.bsky.social: "This is the first case in recent memory of a historian who has fled the country after receiving death threats on account of the history that they teach."

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!! The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

Visited site of Battle of Beaver Dams in Niagara region. This plaque is the only explanation of event and I find it outrageous that they have the American flag flying at this site where American invaders were repelled by Mohawks from Grand River and Kahnawake. Replace it with Haudenausaunee flag!

🇵🇸Voilà le genre de politique qu'on aimerait voir plus. L’ancien maire de Genève raconte en larmes, son expédition et sa détention en Israël pendant 6 jours.

This is a professor at Rutgers who teaches a class on the history of anti-fascism. He also teaches about human rights. He has received multiple death threats and been doxed. He is relocating to Europe for his safety. This is where we are in the US now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Anti-Palestinian racism at the right-wing think tank Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

As the president of a national charity that works very, very hard to remain compliant with CRA rules, this kind of thing is enraging. It corrodes faith that Canadians have in the charitable system, that charitable numbers are given to organizations that are abiding by their charitable objects.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus. A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

That's the definition of fascism from Robert Paxton, one of the preeminent historians of the subject, from his book ANATOMY OF FASCISM which came out more than two decades ago.

The editors at Active History have put together a list of resources to help you contextualize the #NDTR & the history of #ResidentialSchools. activehistory.ca/blog/2025/09...

In this OpEd, I talk about the residential schools still being built in China and Russia - and explain how that should change Canadians’ thinking about this country’s residential schools: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

This is a must-read for anyone in academia. While it focuses on administrative positions in certain parts, it's such an excellent resource with stats and critiques of all the indigenization/reconciliation rhetoric that it's got something for everyone. Highly recommend.

Palestinians should decide their own future.
