One of the only welcome things about this current period in the U.S. is that the "this is not who WE are" stuff might finally be over.

Thread.

I just learned that Jonathan Lear died a few weeks ago. Such a supple and humane thinker. RIP. Here he is talking about mourning.... news.uchicago.edu/why-mourning...

Donald Trump is trying to criminalize opposition to fascism. What are the real threats—and how can people prepare for them?

We've prepared a zine version of "Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression."

Please print these out and distribute them widely!

I published this one year ago today, and the firings have continued. But so has the creation of a new Jewish communal infrastructure for those who feel uncomfortable with these large Federation, Hillel, and pro-Israel institutions. So expect my follow up on the emerging world of anti-Zionism Judaism

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

I know no one will see this but letting children get infected over and over again because we 1) never invested in ventilation and 2) demonized masks is unforgivable.

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, I would like you to sit with the fact that Canada has effectively abandoned its promises to residential school survivors and their families.

So proud of our comrades for holding the line. The solution is simple: pay them fairly and treat them like humans ✊🏻

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Soaring, moving film on climate change and climate grief at Metro Cinema on Oct 3 -- with excellent speakers too! #yeg

All right, I wrote about it:

More than anything else, the whole world runs on the disregarded suffering of children.

Listen to the The Americans Podcast with it -- so good together.

Just a provincial government making it incredibly difficult to get a vaccine. Nothing to see here.

MacEwan University: refuses to disclose investments in genocide and ethnic cleansing. Their President refuses to even meet with Palestinian students. And admin has been vicious toward students demanding accountability. Just disgraceful. #MacEwanU

People are just walking around, going about their lives, acting like the governments we elected in the global north aren’t, right now, facilitating one of the most unimaginable atrocities in human history.

Israeli forces have raided and demolished the Palestinian seed bank in occupied Hebron, West Bank. They used heavy machinery to destroy the seeds and the equipments required to store them.

Israel’s war is against Life itself.
