These are three examples from David Hume's book History of England, in which the author mentions the State of Palestine.

Some people saying, "Palestine has never existed. " Meanwhile, David Hume "Yeah, I will write an entire Chapter of the history of England in connection with the State of Palestine." If people want to call David Hume a 'woke' Enlightenment author for this, that would be a fun turn of events.

Facebook based meme saying "Marked Safe from the Rapture" today.

Just in case anybody wonders, I was not taken to the sky by any entity today. #WorstRaptureEver #IWasPromisedIWouldFly #TakeMeToEatInstead

A meme of a person wearing a red shirt sweating profusely in distress having to choose between pressing a button saying "whitewash the legacy of a white supremacist" and the other saying "stay silent and upset the white supremacists"

Grow a spine and stop whitewashing the legacy of a White supremacist. Unless, of course, you think White supremacy discourse and politics are your thing. In this case, keep going. Is always good to see who people are.

Just to be clear, if someone promotes a white supremacist agenda and the incarceration of minorities, with the domination of women attached to this, that is not only a political position. It is an existential threat for BILLIONS, and as such, it is a good reason to "finish" any kind of relationship.

Parece que asi fue. Creer que esto es violencia politica pero estar tranquilo con años de militarizacion de las ciudades y la reciente decision de la Suprema gringa que dice que es legal detener latinos sin debido proceso, no es hipocresia. Es pura supremacia blanca.

I reserve my empathy for those 3 and 4-year-olds who are separated from their families and are now waiting in concentration camps around the US. 3/3

So to be sad and apologetic for a racist millionaire dying but not for the other kind of violence seems convenient if you are secretly or quietly in favour of those genocidal policies to begin with. So, nah. 2/3

I think that having concentration camps and a legal system that supports racial profiling and mass incarceration of minorities is political violence to begin with. Also, that those who promote or support those things are promoting political violence already. 1/3

The heads of Israel literally said what their goal was and then, they went for it. To claim ignorance is infurating. 3/3

After the genocide has happened, what would those claiming Israel would never commit a genocide could say to those who died? That they couldn't know? That the videos recorded by the IDF soldiers commiting war crimes were not real? 2/3

When the Prime Minister and the military heads of Israel said they were going to commit a genocide, some people said "its not their real intention" or "they don't really mean it." 1/3

Excellent!

Dear all, we are extending the deadline for the WCPA Call for Papers. The new deadline is August 15, 2025. Please send your papers, and thanks for all the interest. With already a large number of submissions, this is going to be a great conference! #philosophy #conference #UniversistyOfAlberta

No matter what you do, you will not appease a fascist regime. You will still lose the funding, and you will still lose the "academic status" that you cherish so deeply. At least do not lose your dignity and take a stand against the Palestinian genocide. 3/3

I have heard from colleagues that they think it's better to be strategic and not upset the Western governments that fund universities during these times. Calling out the genocide, although correct, could jeopardize their funding and risk more government intervention, they say. 2/3

Sign the Open Petition to the APA Board To the Members of the Board of Officers of the American Philosophical Association We, the undersigned members of the APA and the wider philosophical community, write to express our dismay and deep dis...

This is an open letter I helped draft, where we ask the @apaphilosophy.bsky.social to do the bare minimum and condemn the genocide and mass starvation in Palestine. Just as they have done with other conflicts, taking a stand in favour of humanity is the bare minimum they should do. 1/3

Maybe deep down, he thinks that the Palestinians did not "become zionist" enough, and this is their fault. I have no more patience with Western leaders and their defense of this genocide.

Why are some academics still shy about condemning the Palestinian genocide? Your humanities department will eventually lose most or all of its funding due to the rise of fascism, no matter how quiet or submissive you act. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you have a platform. #academia

Thank you! This is a project I am very keen to see grow. 😄

Thank you! I am very excited!

P.S. I'll share the job posting when its available!

If you know anyone interested in working in the general field of Indigenous Philosophy and would like to do a PhD with me at the University of Alberta Department of Philosophy, let them know! 2/2 #Philosophy #IndigenousPhilosophy #SSHRC

I am happy to share that my project, "The Indigenous Stories of Philosophy," has been awarded a SSHRC Insight Development Grant. With this support, I will hire a Graduate Student for the project in the coming year. 1/2

Are we going to ask why the US has bases around the planet? Are we going to ask who or what is kept safe with those bases? Because NONE of those bases protect US citizens. Far from it, they endanger them. US cultural and economic imperialism comes at the expense of US lives.

So best case scenario, Israel and the US have effectively pushed for a nuclear arms race. After showing that the only thing that can protect you from illegal attacks are are nukes. Worst case scenario, Iran retaliation could trigger something terrible. Insanity.

I've met MANY Western academics who refused to acknowledge that their societies were among the worst criminals in the world. Now that Israel, a Western-backed ethnostate, is facing consequences for 80 years of war crimes, the West is threatening the world with WWIII to save it.

Was Iran months away from producing a nuclear bomb? Israel's PM says it struck Iran at the heart of its "weaponization programme", but Iran insists its nuclear facilities were peaceful.

Western outlets are trying to fabricate consent for a world war, nuclear probably, for the sake of protecting the genocidal Israeli regime. Trying but failing MISERABLY. The ratio of each of these posts is incredible. Is there no shame left in Western journalism? Pathetic

All those who supported the war against Irak, that led to the DEATH OF MILLIONS, and who always bought/sold the lies of Israel will now claim that a war against Iran and setting the entire planet on fire is a righteous cause. Western imperialism is madness and must be stopped.

Iranian Navy intercepts British destroyer in Indian Ocean assisting Israeli missile targeting: IRNA Destroyer detected by Iranian intelligence systems Friday night, warned before it could advance toward Persian Gulf, says state news agency - Anadolu Ajansı

Why are the UK, France, Germany, and the US risking a world war for the sake of an apartheid regime on trial for genocide?
