It is outrageous that Canada has not suspended our free trade agreement with Israel in response to the ongoing war crimes committed against the Palestinian population. Canada should not have free trade agreements with nations committing genocide.

The Israeli military said suspects had deviated "from the designated access routes" outside an aid center in Gaza so they had to open fire into a crowd of civilians and kill Palestinians for the third day in a row www.bbc.com/news/article...

Children are being starved to death in Gaza. The Labour government said nothing until the IDF shot at UK diplomats. And yet the Brits target an Irish group for "terrorism" for speaking up. i may have some issues with Kneecap's actions but I will defend Irish artists over spineless British leaders.

Israel is committing mass crimes against humanity aided and abetted by the refusal of the west to say anything. Our refusal to call out the actions of a war crimes state makes this our genocide. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

Imagine being a nation so criminal and violent that you would bomb an unarmed, civilian vessel bringing supplies to the survivors in a devastated war zone.

Jagmeet Singh is one of the most disappointing NDP leaders I've ever seen. Some style, zero substance as he drives the party into complete irrelevance. Charlie Angus would've been a far better leader.

Israel is a criminal terror state. They steal land, execute innocent people, and commit war crimes. To not speak out against these atrocities is to be complicit in genocide against the Palestinian people. 🇵🇸 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

The long crisis in the humanities is now converging with much larger structural crises -- to put it mildly -- in US higher ed. Announcing this cfp the day after the NEH has been effectively shut down is painful. We are determined to showcase what you all are doing anyway to move the field forward.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

The conservative attack on freedom of thought and speech, in the form of restricting funding to universities, is a new form of McCarthyism. For all their complaint of cancel culture, it turns out conservatives are quick to cancel dissenting views whenever they can.

I taught in an engineering education program for years where ideas of history, power, and agency were ignored in favour of a technocratic education of making / breaking / profiting. You see the effects of this paucity of education playing out among the technocrats who want to be kings.

Certified bootlicker and self-abaser JD Vance, who still pretends that Trump won the 2020 election, after comparing him to Hitler, now thinks he's qualified to lecture Europe about democracy. This is like Trump lecturing on fidelity or proper levels of spray tan. 💩
