So many people taking a stand. So many calls for divestment from companies complicit in genocide. Hey @HotDocs: @scotiabank out of Elbit Systems now! So proud to support this principled call from the documentary community @DOCorg.

I just spoke in @OurCommons about the right to feel safe on campuses and at places of worship, the right to free speech and protest, and the need to define and fight anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab racism.
As a Jewish alumni of McGill who cares deeply about antisemitism, I call bullshit. I spent time at the encampment this weekend and can say McGill is cynically smearing these students to justify the police violently clearing an entirely legitimate protest. x.com/kinsellawarren…

Snapshots from day 1 of the UBC encampment. This is a space of refusal, where we resoundingly reject the university’s investment in genocide. It is a space of imagination, where we work with one another to build emancipatory futures. From @peoplesuniversityubc on Instagram.
Important 🧵 for this devastating moment when TMX comes online. Also: the word "climate" appears once in this 4,000 word Globe and Mail article. In the 64th paragraph. Journalism for the apocalypse.

Solidarity with the Gaza solidarity student encampments & occupations! Over the last few days, students in Montreal, Vancouver, & Ottawa have launched encampments and ongoing sit-ins on their campuses (with more coming very soon!). Now it's on all of us to support. Here's how ⤵️

Curious about what's the UBC encampment is all about? I just heard this excellent piece of reporting on CBC radio: for once, anti-genocide students are just allowed to explain what they're doing. Spokesperson Naisha Khan shines with clarity and calm. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

It's so incredibly clear that the police stood aside and let a pro Israeli lynch mob run wild at UCLA. They did nothing for two hours as violent Zionists assaulted students, launched fireworks into the encampment, and sprayed mace on students.
