Moreover, as a historian of residential schooling, he is wrong to suggest the wrongs were because of "big, overpowering governments." In fact, Macdonald's government in the 1880s was comparably small but determined to create genocidal policies to facilitate settler capitalism.

I don’t want a hug. I want a permanent ceasefire and a free Palestine.
If you have Jewish friends, please give them a hug. Send them a message to check if they’re ok. We are all crushed.

1/ This is the most persistent myth of academia I have encountered in my career: there is no disinterested position from which to objectively study/teach history, culture, etc. You have to be white to believe this. The medieval university we inherited was political & still is.
I have long been uneasy about a growing compulsion for academics to bring political agendas into teaching and research. (I believe political views are private and that the lecturer has no right to use their platform for propaganda.) Turns out I wasn't just imagining this.

And it will be Canada’s loss, intellectually, financially, and reputationally. So much for internationalization of research. @univcan @SSHRC_CRSH @federation_hss @CIHR_IRSC @NSERC_CRSNG

To put as fine a point on it as possible: seeking asylum already is a legal pathway. We don't need to "expand" it. We need to simply follow the law and protect it.
This is part of why it's important for the broader American public to understand - and the media, whose job it is to inform that public, to include the central fact -that seeking asylum is a right under U.S. law. Asylum is *legal* immigration.

I am once again reminding you that neither “illegal” nor “undocumented” (as nouns) are categories in U.S. immigration law and asking people to simply define what they mean by one of those terms is the easiest way to figure out who actually knows what they are talking about.

Matvælaráðherra @BjarkeyOlsen skríður fyrir Sjálfstæðisflokknum og leyfir hinar viðbjóðslegu hvalveiðar að nýju. Hún og flokkur hennar "Vinstri græn" eru hvorki vinstri né græn. Þau eru auðvaldsmottur og umhverfissóðar. Megi þau þurrkast út í næstu kosningum.

Still thinking about the Congress meeting yesterday where the Federation claimed there was no contradiction in the McGill admin simultaneously assuring Congress attendees that campus is safe despite having filed multiple injunctions in recent weeks explicitly saying it is not.
