Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Germany is aiding and abetting genocide in Gaza, even now, after Merz declared a stop to military exports used there. His government feigns helplessness, but it could easily stop these deliveries, as it has in the past, as @yossibartal.bsky.social shows in this breaking investigation.

Avi is direct, committed, and building a political base that is grounded in movements for justice. I have never been a member of this party, but I will become one to make sure he becomes leader. Let's seize this moment for real change.

New book chapter "Gaza and the Zionist Settler Colonial Politics of Genocide" by Y Loshitzky, in the "The Political Economy of Dissent: A Research Companion," 2025 books.google.ca/books?hl=en&...

I'm doing a lot of field trips with classes this year, and finding that I need something to amplify my voice outside, especially in noisy places. Can any of you recommend a small, portable, battery-powered mic-speaker setup? The kind of thing used by street performers, etc

“Until you’ve killed countless civilians, the word ‘genocide’ shouldn’t even come out of your damn mouth,” said Netanyahu, arguing that the pampered intellectuals at the U.N. were nothing more than a bunch of armchair human rights abusers." theonion.com/netanyahu-th...

it's just absolutely essential to remember we can have good things. we can talk about them. imagine them. work together to build them. fix them when it doesn't quite work out. try again.

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Who says Israel is committing genocide? Here's a partial list of politicians, nations, organizations, experts. zeteo.com/p/who-says-i...

“We can starve the Arabs of Haifa and Jaffa [if we wish to do so]” David Ben Gurion, 1947. Important new article by Una McGahern in Journal of Genocide Research: The Practice of Siege Warfare: Reckoning with War, Genocide and Settler Colonialism in Palestine scholar.google.ca/scholar_url?...

Can't say genocide, can't say Israel is deliberately causing famine, can't say Palestinians are human beings deserving of rights. But here's a diagram of what malnutrition does to a starving children's bodies.

"The way that racism repeatedly floats to the surface is an opportunity for liberal governments to understand that they cannot be squeamish about engaging with such ideologies..."

It’s hard to stress how criminal this all is. Hamas were in Doha to discuss the supposed Trump peace deal. That’s when Israel chose to bomb Doha. Hamas have been there for a long time. Israel decided to bomb them now.

History is a search for the truth. It is not about positivity or negativity or making people feel good or bad. These are all subjective responses that can only distort our understanding of the past.

Lest anyone doubt the fundamental racism of the Trump Administration. White Supremacy rests at the heart of this nasty movement.

Destroying the achievements, heritage, and history of Indigenous peoples is one way settler colonial regimes *try* to make their fantasies of empty lands and primitive natives come true.

"The Union of Agricultural Work Committees’ seed facility housed over 70 baladi (heirloom) seed varieties, many of which no longer exist elsewhere, that Palestinian farmers had cultivated and perfected over centuries."

The world teeters on a precipice, yet nearly everyone in charge of determining our collective future are cruel and delusional man-babies.

The new cold war seems to have equal measure of dipshittery on both sides. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

It’s really real! Exciting to see The Price of Gold in print. Pre-order yours today! @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social

If you're looking for monsters, look at men who become rich on the killing of children. "Sales typically went up when a mass killer used a Bushmaster."

It's genocide. Stop it!

What assignments are people planning this year? I’m interested in assignments that encourage students to avoid the temptation of AI, but forces them to learn something either way. StoryMaps works well in a 50 student 2nd year class. I don’t know if it scales to 200+ first years.

I have been working a lot with ChatGPT in the last months, and in my experience, it is a lot better at form than content. In other words, it's good at writing nice sentences but it's unreliable in what those sentences say. I can only imagine what it hallucinated for this methodology.

The UN should not be headquartered in a country that won't abide by international law www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...

The photo chosen is a kick to the gut. Taken during the early days of the pandemic when my neighbours’ synagogues (and everything for that matter!) were closed. Their minyans and songful prayers brought us solace during difficult times.

"American fascism looks like the president using armed military units from governors loyal to his regime to seize cities run by opposition political figures and it looks like the president using federal law enforcement to target regime opponents."

Breaking! City of Burnaby just became first city in Canada to join arms embargo movement against Israel AND the first Apartheid-Free City, breaking ties with Israeli apartheid and settler colonialism. We've been organizing for months towards this precedent in colonial Canada.

Teaching of the industrial revolution and/or British global imperialism and colonialism should always highlight the horror from which it emerged. England first attacked, dispossessed, & oppressed its own peasants and workers before using that experience to do the same to millions around the globe.

My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.

Israel kills those who document their war-crimes. Much respect and honour to those who risk everything for the least free and the most vulnerable.

Let’s be clear: Pritzker isn’t a savor, he’s not “the leader of the resistance.” There won’t be one. That’s us. He’s an elected doing his job when most aren’t, and doing it well. He’s not a leftist, he’s a liberal, but he’s putting himself on the line, and that’s worth a lot.

If you saw the clip, watch the whole 12 minutes. This is it. Electeds—everyone around Pritzker is knowingly putting themselves at risk—meeting the moment. It’s not glib, it’s not a meme, it’s clear-eyed, brave, & necessary. www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...

The top story of the moment is the one story that our most influential newsrooms won’t touch: That the United State has become an authoritarian state. presswatchers.org/2025/08/we-h...

“At this point it's become impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Reuters given its role in justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza. I owe my colleagues in Palestine at least this much, and so much more.” - Valerie Zink

Carney government excited to announce partnership with Cohere to integrate AI throughout government services (i.e., fire humans). Cohere works with Palantir. Palantir provides AI to Israel to target Palestinians and with Trump's ICE to track immigrants.

Liberal PM Pierre Trudeau put the head of CUPW in jail for defying his strikebreaking legislation. But the postal workers arguably won that strike by holding the line. Carney may do the same, and I hope for all our sakes that these workers stand their ground. We owe them our support and our thanks.

I believe it is fundamentally impossible to separate modern institutional liberalism’s loyalty to the Zionists project from its serial failure to stand up to rising fascism in the west.

For years people said it was a gross exaggeration to label Nazism and its associated viewpoints within the modern conservative movement and especially online. Now Nazis are openly thriving and their rhetoric is impossible to avoid and many of the people who downplayed it are saying nothing at all

Sports boycotts are nothing new. They were useful against apartheid South Africa. They've been imposed on Russia. They're appropriate here unless and until the apartheid, genocide, and illegal occupation end.

The letter is signed by prominent individuals from 46 different academic institutions in Canada, as well as by Canadians at prominent global institutions. One hundred and six of the signatories are based in Atlantic Canada, where the event is slated to occur.

“Given the ongoing genocide in Gaza…we call on Sport Canada and Tennis Canada to forbid Canadian athletes to compete against Israeli athletes at the Davis Cup and all other international events.” - 413 🇨🇦 academics, athletes + sports journalists, inc 3 former UN special rapporteurs + an Olympic 🥈ist

Yup. One doesn’t play against the Covenant and become sympathetic to theocratic regimes or political parties. I honestly think it’s too bad most political analysts and academics have completely ignored the moral and political thought of video games. They explain way more than one might anticipate.
