#OrisanmiBurton rejected his book's nomination for the #AAIHS Pauli Murray #Book Prize. His rejection aligns with critiques outlined in Hammer & Hope in 2024. "Is your #Black internationalism & ethical commitment only historical? What of the rich history of Black […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

The #UniversityOfToronto #LawSchool requires first year law students to take an #EDI course from #Coursera, a US online course provider. Coursera doesn't market the course as EDI but as a 'history' course. All 3 of its professors are Israeli & work for #YadVashem […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

“This is how #Israel releases the Palestinian prisoners, not just cuffed and bowed but forced to wear a bracelet vowing Israeli revenge. And then we talk about "psychological terrorism" and have the audacity to be appalled at a #Gaza "lynch mob". Defeated […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

It looks like little Sulwe has been planning this little coup for a while. After toppling her ‘brother,’ Lenny, she makes a speedy exit leaving Lenny, to look around for someone — anyone! — to blame. Although little Lenny and Sulwe aren’t related by blood, they […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

“At the end of the war, people said ‘Never Again’. For a lot of us, it was ‘Never Again’ for anyone, not just Jews. We in the United States have supported this war all along. We have the power to end it, to stop arming #Israel.” “#Palestinians deserve a life where […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

Yup, checks and balances was a lie.

Hahahaha! #Tariffs #Coffee

Not sure what I'm reading here but this Israeli POW might be the one who asked to stay behind an extra week. 😂 #Gaza #POWs #Israel

This is how Western media rationalizes Israel's killing of civilians. I think #CNN actually stands for Colonizers News Network. #Lebanon #Israel #WarCrimes

Meet Nancy, the French 'antisemitism victim' who since last fall has been 'living in fear' due to relentless antisemitic harassment… Well she's just been caught red-handed spray-painting the hateful graffiti and sending the threats to herself. Now Nancy faces […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

Apparently a lot of bikes end up in the canals of #Amsterdam due to theft, vandalism, and drunkenness. The city's water authority, Waternet, uses a crane and metal claws to remove the bikes, a process known as "bicycle fishing". The recovered bikes are either […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

A Sunday treat for all cat lovers on Mastodon... Cats have a wide spectrum of vocalizations - from the standard meow, to purrs, to chirps, hisses and trills. Sometimes they produce lower pitch vocalizations that come close to sounding like human speech 🤩 Enjoy! #CatsOf Mastodon #Cats

Today tens of thousands of people demonstrated in #Germany against fascism and the extremist alt-right party AfD. The protesters in #Berlin used lamps and their mobile phones to form "a sea of light for democracy" in front of the #BrandenburgGate. c: @sven_giegold on X

Why does it seem that former media-darling #GretaThunberg has “gone quiet”? "When she started making the connection between #capitalism, #colonialism, the #genocide, all of these different forms of #oppression, she did disappear from mainstream media, because she […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]
