🧵 Bangladesh’s Prothom Alo newspaper has a front-page story on the final moments of Hasina’s tenure. She insisted on using brute force until only 45 minutes before her departure; no amount of pleading from her aides and officials could persuade her to relent. 1/n
As the Ontario legislature resumed on Sept. 25, 2023, thousands gathered to let the corrupt Premier and his cronies know that our #healthcare must remain public, and it is not up for profiteering! #OnPoli
"What’s happening in India is not that loose variety of internet fascism. It’s the real thing." Arundhati Roy at her best. Must read. scroll.in/article/105594…

Union leadership in Ontario need to be calling emergency meetings -- especially the teachers' unions -- to get mandates from their members to walk off the job if Ford does impose the notwithstanding clause. Let him come after everyone.

Just Released Deepest-ever view of the cosmos from @NASAWebb. The spiked objects are local stars in our own Galaxy. ignore them. Everything else is an entire galaxy. Many distort into arcs, revealing spacetime curvature from the gravity of a galaxy cluster in the image's center.

Why do travel bans not work in a pandemic? Lots of reasons. I'll try to explain based on some basic principles of epidemiology with a backdrop of real-world evidence. In brief, they are at best symbolic, at worst, impediments to success. 1/
Pretty exceptional cabinet intro: NDP leader Wab Kinew came up to new Indigenous Relations Minister Alan Lagimodiere to confront him on what he just said about the people who started residential schools having good intentions at the time #mbleg
This farewell speech profoundly moving. May the grace that Mumilaaq Qaqqaq embodies, heal the horrendous colonial legacy Canada still carries. As settlers/Canadians, we have major roles to play to advance reverence & solidarity towards the process of justice & reconciliation.
The insight and understanding Gabor Maté offers here, on one of the most pressing historical concerns of our times, is so important for us to reflect on. I request you to take the time and carefully listen to what he has to say till the end of this video segment below.

Can’t see any difference between Biden/Trump support for Israel here.
The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable. We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end. We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal for U.S. aid to support human rights violations.
As Israeli police crackdown on protesters rallying against the forced expulsions of Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah, Al Jazeera’s Jerusalem correspondent @harryjfawcett discusses what’s behind the protests ⬇️
