News: Hundreds of Jewish healthcare workers from around the US and beyond are circulating a letter demanding an “end to the genocide in Gaza.” They “reject the weaponization of accusations of antisemitism to suppress criticism of Israel and expressions of solidarity with Palestinians.”

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

CIJA doesn't speak for Canadian Jews. Nor do the Jewish Federations, who expressed sorrow on their blog for Charlie Kirk: a man who blamed "Jewish dollars" for funding "cultural Marxism."

i got some good recs in this thread yall

This is precisely the problem, the refusal by centrist elites to differentiate between challenging ideas and debunked lies. It's not "challenging" to hear that black people are stupid or gay people are degenerates, it's just wrong.

Charlie Kirk's death was a tragedy. But he built his name on provocation and white supremacy. He said that gun deaths of innocents was "worth it." On Mark Carney's first day as PM in Parliament Liberals gave Kirk a standing ovation. Ceding ground to extremism won't make them nicer.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Wild how political alliance with Zionism sweeps all sorts of wild statements about Jews under the table

Melissa Hortman practiced politics the right way.

As a cultural Marxist, I was…surprised to see that Jewish Federations of North America had a sympathetic statement about Kirk's death on their blog, but nothing about ICE kidnapping their neighbours in the U.S. Reason #78332 we need new Jewish institutions: jewishcurrents.org/we-need-new-...

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Getting sick of the term “political violence” when a public figure closely aligned w/one ideology or other is a victim. ICE is also political violence. Armies are also political violence. Not sure of my point - just wish for a term that doesn’t immediately wall an act like this off from all the rest

In Ontario, criminal vigilantism works and will influence gov't policy. Keep that in mind.

I dunno, historically speaking, "Maybe we can get the good things we want by working with the Nazis" is more of the blinkered view

Who are Friends of JNF Canada? The "new" charity is a burner for JNF Canada, who had their charitable status revoked last year by CRA. ACT NOW! Tell the CRA - no more tax receipts for JNF Canada's crimes! tinyurl.com/stop-jnf

WR racists, take note:

Today we celebrate trout. (And every day.)

On September 3 @praeyesright.bsky.social is launching a new podcast series, Lifting the Curtain on Antisemitism, with our friends at Diaspora Alliance! Co-hosted by myself & Shoshana Brown, we unpack antisemitism & its misuse in our era of authoritarianism & genocide open.spotify.com/episode/75ZG...

I don't even know what to say, except that this shouldn't be happening.

WTF, Eden Mills?!

Close, intelligent, in some cases near lifelong friends are starting to talk casually about the use of ChatGPT in their lives or in some cases are clearly getting paid/perks to promote its use and it’s like watching your social circle slowly, and with a big smile on their face, all join Scientology.

The Globe’s editorial board lives in an alternate universe, in which the Israeli conquest of Gaza will somehow “open up the possibility of a secure and sustained effort to ramp up aid to Gaza.”

"Exaggeration of the situation with made-up or unreliable statistics serves a number of purposes. One is keeping Canadian Jews in the fold." @ijvcanada.bsky.social National Coordinator Corey Balsam in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social on misrepresentation of antisemitism statistics in Canada

At any time Republican senators could refuse to confirm any more appointees until RFK Jr. is removed from his position and HHS returns to a basic commitment to science and medicine, including vaccines.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

This is so horrible. These groups don't represent us!

“I have written on so many grim subjects, but here’s a funny thing: no one I’ve ever reported on has given me nightmares like Cuomo and his team.” Sharply written piece by @rtraister.bsky.social substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Mahmoud Khalil is free. May his release lead to the release of all who are detained and incarcerated from the US to Palestine, in ICE facilities and in prisons. And may his courage inspire us to remain steadfast in fighting for Palestinian liberation.

I think the Catholic Church should do this every day in every city

"Not for you." Palestinian citizens of Israel--21% of the population--are being excluded from bomb shelters on the basis of their ethnicity. This is the society the West will defend at all costs. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

what a model

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

Lander is saying the most basic, correct things—“Do you have a judicial warrant? … I will let go when you show me a judicial warrant … you don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens. I am not obstructing”—and yet or maybe because of this he is detained, too.

NYT: Guess you'll HAVE to vote for Cuomo, now that Brad Lander has been disappeared to El Salvador! New Yorkers, please resist these goons.

As an Indigenous professor at a community college, I'm often critical at the milquetoast invocations of truth and reconciliation. I fully support Yao's statements and the way she framed them. Good for her and shame on the school officials.

I canceled my Cooking subscription. I should have done it years ago. Now I have to wean myself off Wordle. :(

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Another flyer has appeared! Someone in Chicago is making protest flyers that mimic the design of handbills that contractors put on people’s garages. Many contractors are undocumented so they will see these. This showed up on my block today. I haven’t had time to see if it has been posted more widely

me: in cheers frasier said his dad was dead but then when sam visited him in seattle he had to explain that he was lying because their relationship was strained but to me the weirder thing is he never mentioned niles to anyone at cheers the federal soldier being unlawfully quartered in my home: ok

The Jewish community organized relentlessly against Trump's first Muslim ban. It's a cruel insult that he'd use our community as an excuse for harming others who simply share hope to exist in peace and safety in this country.

So… Abrego Garcia… still down there huh?

Remember a few years ago it was all "we support healthcare workers?" Well now it's time to listen to healthcare workers. Really begging Canadians to listen to this video of doctors' experiences in Gaza and their calls for the Canadian government to end it's complicity in genocide.

CONCENTRATING them. Into CAMPS.
