Dahlia Kurtz, who is absolutely a genocide monger, has pressed charges against Yves Engler for identifying Kurts as being a genocide denier. Wild. Incredible attack on free speech. yvesengler.com/2025/02/18/i...

The ADL’s one job is to defend Israel and this is perfectly consistent with that mission, since a bunch of Nazis in DC will be more likely to support the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

One of the more personally irritating things for me about Trump is how this guy who affirmed the double genocide theory of WW2 gets to pretend he’s an antifascist jacobin.com/2014/09/timo...

After Calgary Police smashed my face in, I was left asking WHY the UofC sicced riot cops on a peaceful protest so quickly and so violently. @readtheorchard.org reveals it may have been at the behest of a pro-Israel lobby in contact with the UofC President. www.readtheorchard.org/p/ucalgary-p...

Great piece about the technocratic liberalism of Mark Carney. Having read so much of the archival material of the 1970s Liberal Party, it’s really unambitious these days. www.lukewsavage.com/p/the-proble...

Just before the holiday, UCalgary released its seemingly rushed review on the May 9 encampment protest, completed by MNP. Over a month later they started releasing some massively overdue FOIPs. These help show the review wasn't comprehensive—or accurate. ablawg.ca/2025/02/18/t...

NEW: Pierre Poilievre’s obsession with cutting taxes and gutting services represents an enduring belief in a “free trade” world that no longer exists. Such proposals are of no use against Donald Trump. www.readthemaple.com/poilievres-l...

Resist fascism from the U.S. and within Canada, but your fervent flaggy nationalism is ALSO celebrating the ongoing colonization, dipossession, and genocide of Indigenous Peoples and we will never, ever let you forget that or pretend otherwise. You can't have one without the other.
