Scotiabank’s 1832 Asset Management sells last shares in Israeli military supplier Elbit Bank faced criticism for investment, including high-profile protests at the Giller Prize

Incredible victory! After years of organizing across Canada, Scotia Bank has divested from Elbit Systems!

Elbit is Israel's largest weapons company, arming the occupation and genocide of Palestine.

Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 30 Palestinians, including several children Hospitals in Gaza saidΒ Israeli strikesΒ killed at least 30 Palestinians including several children on Saturday, one of the highest tolls since the October ceasefire.

Anyone who tells you there is a 'ceasefire' in Gaza is gaslighting you and is an anti-Palestinian racist:

With so many of us watching the tremendous mobilizations in Minneapolis, culminating in the call to action against ICE today, I wanted to share some of what I have gathered from talking to comrades in Minneapolis over the past few weeks. A few things stood out:

β€œUruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewablesβ€”at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhereβ€”if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

The genocide in Gaza is far from over | Raz Segal We live not in a post-Holocaust world of β€˜Never Again’ but in the same world that led to the Holocaust, a world of β€˜Again and Again’

Raz Segal:"the idea that it /Holocaust/ is a unique genocide emerged with the genocide concept in the year of the Nakba, which meant that the new crime of genocide,which bestowed impunity on the new Israeli state,could make sense only in tandem with Nakba denial."
