Gaza: 'I witnessed war crimes,' former worker at GHF aid site tells BBC A retired US soldier reveals why he quit working at Israel and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid hubs.

Evidence of what so many have been saying for far, far too long: This is a #genocide. These are #warcrimes

Genocide by Starvation This is the end. The final blood-soaked chapter of the genocide. It will be over soon. Weeks. At most. Two million people are camped out amongst the rubble or in the open air. Dozens are killed and wo...

"This genocide will haunt us. It will echo down history with the force of a tsunami. It will divide us forever. There is no going back..."

If a former Israeli prime minister can say this, what is stopping European leaders?

Great piece, and I am proud that the activist group I've devoted the most time to over the years was based on this idea: law students' ability to withhold their labor from corporate firms.

Canadian lawyers borrow from U.S. playbook to quash Palestine solidarity ⋆ The Breach In a new push for ‘lawfare’, pro-Israel groups are weaponizing the courts to silence criticism of Israel

Lawfares use of IHRA "leaves no room for Palestinian claims to rights and sovereignty..."In effect, that framework treats Palestinian political expression as inherently antisemitic. Lawfare champions even frame the existence of Palestinian culture and history as evidence of antisemitism."

"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

Let's be clear, Trump's outrageous detention of migrant farmworker leaders shows how his "working class" populism is hollow BS.

If he were pro-worker, his admin wouldn't be detaining labor leaders, but supporting all workers raising all wages across all sectors.

What we need is solidarity.

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.

This is the Vice President of the United States saying "excellent" to collapsing an apartment building full of civilians and *maybe* one person who wasn't a civilian.

Letter from Columbia student Ranjani Srinivasan who fled the United States after ICE illegally terminated their SEVIS and Columbia arbitrarily de-enrolled them. An unfathomable level of violent predation and oppression happening at such a rapid pace.

Indigenous faculty at York University push back on enrolment suspension | CBC News Professors of Indigenous studies and gender studies say they'd like to see York University reverse the decision it recently made to suspend enrolment in those programs.

It’s been said many times that the treaties supersede the separatists.

Alberta simply can’t leave without support from treaty signatories.

And today, Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro of the Mikisew Cree Nation made it clear.

It’s a hard no.

ANALYSIS | U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog | CBC News Possibly defying a court order. Urging his Justice Department to prosecute nemeses. Repeatedly calling the media 'illegal.' Declaring a predecessor's pardon null and void. U.S. President Donald Trump ...

"This is what electoral autocracy looks like". U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog

A disturbing effort to crush academic freedom in Canada. Would appreciate some university presidents to affirm their support for academic freedom & importance of research in Canada.

This is catastrophic on so many levels. Archived link: archive.ph/tmra3

US judge blocks Trump's EPA from clawing back climate grants A U.S. judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from recovering grant funds issued as part of a $20 billion climate funding program that Republican President Donald Trump's administration has moved to terminate.

The judge called out the "vague and unsubstantiated assertions" Trump is using to cancel $20B in EPA grants for carbon pollution reduction.

The truth is simpler: This is Trump's payback to Big Oil, who owns his ass after $175 million in election donations and ads.
