This response to the US by

is what โspeaking truth to powerโ looks like. We all lose in this US funded Israeli

. Only the arms industry wins
โMarket value of the biggest US weapons manufacturers increased by $ 23 billion after the 7th of Octoberโ
This was one of the best Palestinian solidarity rallies in

Thank you for your courage
@kagisokeo
& for speaking the truth about the genocide in Palestine. ๐๐๐๐. Shame on
@polipenottawa
. The key role of writers, poets and pens is to speak/write the hard truths, not to hide them.
Hands off Rafah. Stop Bombing Gaza . Toronto always showing up in massive ways to every rally for Palestine. Our movement is unstoppable until Palestine is free and until we end Israeli genocide & apartheid. Full

@HarshaWalia
โค๏ธ๐โ Thanks for this info
@HarshaWalia
about Macklemore's previous roots in radical anti-capitalist anti-colonial circles. I can now see why his song Hind's Hall is pure fire. It is pure liberatory poetry. Every word of it ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

The Anti-Capitalist Chronicles podcast featuring
@profdavidharvey
hosted through
@PoliticsnMotion
is a must listen. The first episode lays out core elements of transformative
#anticapitalist
organizing grounded in "pedagogy of the emancipated laborer'. Look forward to more
The latest episode of my Anti-Capitalist Chronicles podcast, now co-produced with our new nonprofit media platform

I will be teaching a course called Anti-Imperialism and Planning this winter term at

@Prof_FSultana
Fully agree
@Prof_FSultana
. We need to leverage this historic moment to revive South led decolonial anticapitalist worldmaking visions & solutions of NAM, G77, Tri-Continental, Bandung etc...with deeper & broader solidarities, & equipped with some of the new praxis(eg,abolition)
@YousefAljamal
@trtworld
Thank you
@YousefAljamal
for this beautiful tribute to
#Refaat
. I have been reading your & other stories from Gaza Writes Back . Refaatโs humanist legacy & radical praxis of โwriting backโ indeed lives on through you & the many students and people he inspired
Shame on every government, corporation, lobby groups, & uncaring humanity who funded or stayed silent to 100 days of
#genocide
in
#Gaza
#Palestine
& 75 years of
#IsraeliApartheid
. When will it be enough? Act now & donโt stop until Palestine is free & we end all colonialism
The student encampment at
@uoft
is going strong. They are watching docs to keep learning about Palestine. And the signs carry their liberatory messages : no tuition going to genocide , divest ,
#StopArmingIsrael
, & another world grounded in love is possible

@selinarobinson
@Dave_Eby
,
@bcndp
, it was not a flippant comment. It was a deeply racist comment rooted in colonial logic of white supremacy & Zionism that justified/justify violent erasures (terra nullius), occupations, & genocides of โothers.โ

Thank you
@ShreeParadkar
. What a powerful critique of liberal feminism that seeks to lean in & be included into capitalism & imperialist systems; and a call for radically intersectional decolonial anti-capitalist feminism ๐โค๏ธ
#IWD2024
#InternationalWomensDay
U of Tโs Women & Gender Studies Institute turned 50 this year, so when they asked me to speak about feminism, it was a chance to reflect on its meaning, the limitations of โleaning in,โ and how to be a feminist with all our identities intact.
#IWD2024
Done. Colleagues, please see call from
@MigrantRightsCA
to send email to Canadian federal government to vote in favour of comprehensive and
inclusive regularization so no non-status person is left behind
#RegularizeEveryone
#Statusforall
The federal government promised regularization - permanent resident status for undocumented people - this Spring.
Send them an email and tell them to

So inspiring. Thank you for sharing this
@cie1947
. Si Pih Ko's bold actions to impromptu sing a Cree song at this venue about Indigenous sovereignity & reparative justice (guised in what sounded like O Canada) is one of the most subversive & powerful acts of poetic resistance!
Toronto all out every week for Palestine. Another amazing turnout . And we pledge to keep fighting.

Stop the genocide now. Call for immediate ceasefire. End Israeli apartheid now .

Please do read & share this piece on how
#Canada
& the Western bloc countries (who portray themselves as vanguards of democracy & rule of law) are callously voting against
#UN
resolutions geared at promoting democracy, justice & equity at international level
#decolonization
At the United Nations Third Committee, Canada voted AGAINST 12ย draft resolutions promoting human rights, cultural diversity, and greater equity on the global stage, while refusing to condemn unilateral coercive measures and the use of mercenaries.
This weekend, demonstrations against the genocide in Gaza will take place around the world. Regular people like you and I will march in our thousands to oppose the invasion of Rafah and say no to another Nakba.
Join thousands on the streets in Toronto on Saturday.
