It seems it is once again time for everyone to familiarize themselves with this anti-imperialist classic.

Robyn Maynard, Ismail Adam (VP of the Darfur Diaspora Association) and I wrote this op-ed about Canada's complicity in Sudan, calling among other things for the loophole to be closed that allows Can. weapons to get to the RSF through the US + UAE. breachmedia.ca/in-the-genoc...

“Razing Palestine” (Ed. Leila Marshy) comes out this week. Proud to stand in solidarity with every contributor & others who experienced personal & professional consequences for speaking out against Israel’s genocide. These stories represent just the tip of the iceberg of repression in Canada.

I just wrote a letter: @ndp.ca MPs must OPPOSE the Budget for War, with Austerity for the Rest... Write & send your own letter here: actionnetwork.org/letters/budg...

You’ll want to listen.

As an alumni of Syracuse University, it's appalling that they are capitulating against a right-wing campaign against Professor Farhana Sultana for exercising her first amendment rights. Do consider signing this letter calling on Syracuse University to reinstate her docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This is so significant: a new comprehensive report detailing the myriad modalities of Canadian university complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. static1.squarespace.com/static/68bf2...

Canadian governments have poured $63M in subsidies into mineral exploration on Grassy Narrows territory, helping Kinross Gold push a project that threatens the Wabigoon River. Tax breaks for investors are undermining Indigenous rights and local waters while the province collects little in return.

"My brother looks exhausted and gaunt. I try to make him laugh. Despite the horrible conditions, it is still easy to make him laugh. If he, like my other siblings, disappears, then our last memory will be laughter."

"Why would it bow to antidemocratic pressures by placing a professor on leave without their request, consent, or involvement? That any university would do this is beyond comprehension and is cause for alarm about the future of academic freedom in Canada."

I just sent a campaign update for Fadi, my friend in Gaza. Thanks to your donations, he was able to get a new tent for his family after their old one was destroyed and they were displaced. If you are able to donate, that would be wonderful! chuffed.org/project/1322...

"Longueuil police force is the embodiment of police reform, the 'avant-garde' of community-oriented policing." "It was this police force, a reformed police force, that burdened Black and Arab people with oppressive police stops [..] and that finally killed Nooran." #Quebec #Canada #Policing

In September, Israel is set to play Canada in a Davis Cup tennis match in Halifax—sportswashing its genocide. El Jones argues that Israel should not be allowed to play while it turns Gaza into a graveyard. breachmedia.ca/israel-sport...

‘Censorship’: over 115 scholars condemn cancellation of Harvard journal issue on Palestine -- In an open letter, writers denounced abrupt scrapping of a Harvard Educational Review issue dedicated to Palestine www.theguardian.com/education/20...

The cop who punched Abdirahman Abdi to death in Ottawa, Daniel Montsion, was the highest paid officer in Ontario in 2024. His salary is nearly double the other highest salaries, at a stunning $410,710.

I’m in the process of transferring @fadi1996.bsky.social some money to help pay for a new tent - they were kicked out of the one they were using - and to get food. If you’d like to contribute something that will get to him today or tomorrow, make a donation via PayPal. chuffed.org/project/1322...

Israel is not the only government in history to cut off access to food and water as a tool of war. The United States and Canada have also used starvation to conquer Indigenous peoples and acquire their land.

Israel has now killed more journalists in Gaza than were killed in both world wars, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Yugoslavia, combined. This is the deadliest conflict for journalists ever recorded. Gaza is not just a war zone—it has become a graveyard for press freedom.

Don't give your money to NGOs, politicians, or online pundits. Please donate instead directly to Gaza. Below is a link to the Sameer Project's South Gaza Campaign, which urgently needs support: chuffed.org/project/1132...

Microsoft just became the second company to be valued at over $4 trillion. They’ve also fired over 15,000 workers this year. They’ve also spent over $18 billion on stock buybacks over the last year.

Harvard Educational Review spent a year preparing a special issue on education in and about Palestine. In June, contributors were notified that the Harvard Education Publishing Group had abruptly canceled the issue's release. This is censorship and cowardice. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Francesca Albanese's most recent report has profound implications for higher ed. None is more serious than this: administrators are *personally accountable* under international law for complicity in genocide for institutional entanglements w/ Israel and military-industrial companies. We explain:

Carney ran against Trump’s ‘Conservative buddies,’ then governed as their collaborator. Military spending hikes, Big Tech tax cuts, and anti-Indigenous bills reveal the truth: his base was always capital, not Canadians.

In her unparalleled new report, Francesca Albanese comprehensively indicts economic complicities with "the Israeli illegal settler-colonial enterprise in the occupied Palestinian territory, which now functions as a genocidal machine." You must read the whole report. www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

Dr. Ghada Ageel: The word 'Nakba' is no longer sufficient to describe what is being done to Palestinians. She proposes a term Al-Ibādah or the Destruction. In Arabic, the phrase for genocide “al-Ibādah jamāʿiyyah” means “the annihilation of everyone and everything” www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...
