The two stats I learned this week that blew me away were that the US federal govt gives more to Lockheed Martin than to the Dept of Education, and that some universities get more from Dept of War than they do from tuition. Upended my understanding of universities as warmakers.

United Methodist Church votes to divest from Israel bonds & prolonged military occupations in Northern Cyprus & the Western Sahara. Also rejects the perverse IHRA definition.

As encampment begins at Halifax's Dalhousie University, Jewish Faculty Network - Nova Scotia weighs in: thecoast.ca/media/pdf/jewi…

His studio levelled by Israeli bombs, the Palestinian artist Maisara Baroud continues to draw through the genocide. Trapped (with his art) in Gaza, Mohammad Sabaaneh and others reproduced Baroud's drawings as murals at the Zawyeh Gallery in Ramallah rommanmag.com/view/posts/pos…

Tomorrow, LSE students will release ‘Assets in Apartheid,’ a report showing that £89 million of university investments are complicit in the genocide of Palestinians, arms trade, and climate breakdown.

They are calling on this university & others to divest now.

Anyone concerned for studs' academic freedom need only imagine what campus democratic engagement w/ look like if Minstr of Colleges &Unis had unchecked authority to dictate what activities/msgs were 'safe' & permissible & what punishments befell violators. t.ly/stop166

Disclose and Divest University of Toronto! Stand on the right side of history.

Palestinian mothers are on my mind, mothers having caesarean birth without anesthesia, mothers saving lives, mothers cradling dead children, mothers mourning their men, mothers making meals out of almost nothing, mothers willing tents to repel bombs, mothers resisting genocide

I can confidently say that today, University of Toronto students are feeling much more confident after their meeting with the senior administration. They possess both moral and morale superiority, and the vibes at the encampment are A-MA-ZING.

More patience and commitment will lead to victory.

Some vital news on the University of Toronto encampment from the press conference earlier today #StopArmingIsrael #DefundThePolice

Again more blatant lying. Al Jazeera was being broadcast LIVE and this is what AL JAZEERA was airing. The students UofT Occupy for Palestine do not control what Al Jazeera airs.

There is no shame. The lying is so insidious and honestly just embarrassing at this point.

This is ecocide

It was an honour to stand in solidarity with the amazing student organizers UofT Occupy for Palestine.

As an alumni and former editor-in-chief of The Varsity, University of Toronto is where I learned to write and research.

These students have built an inspiring encampment that is a beacon for justice.

“The only thing I can imagine more horrific than this live-streamed genocide would be a world in which that became normal,” said Canadian author Naomi Klein in a speech to pro-Palestine students who set up an encampment at the University of Toronto.
