We also need to talk about remote access management on faculty tech. There has been a barrage of hostile FOIPOP requests from zionists trying to discredit faculty researchers who work on human rights and genocide, too. We need explicit policies at every uni, reviewed by CAUT.

Oh, how inspiring...do we want to be governed by Cons beholden to the off-the-deep-end fringe of their party or by Liberals with renewed enthusiasm for neoliberalism, military spending, and resource extraction? What a sense of hope and political possibility... #cdnpoli

This is what criminalization does - the scope has simply expanded - and why we all need to be putting refusal and resistance to criminalization at the center of our anti authoritarian/antifascist struggles.

In some ways we have been here before & can draw on strategies from our histories & lineages AND current political conditions are starkly different & require us to significantly level up our commitment to community defense.

We need to pull out all the stops in defense of students - we're all next

Columbia's Provost evidently sent this message to faculty forbidding them from moving classes offline or canceling them amid ICE activity on campus.

There's a lot of confusion swirling so it may help to explain that the below is actually fairly normal following an ICE arrest. ICE often transfers people to the deep South where some of the largest detention centers are located, and the ICE Detainee Locator system can take up to 24 hours to update.

Remembering Aaron Bushnell Aaron Bushnell died by self-immolation in protest of the Gaza genocide a year ago today. His memory should stir a fire in our souls, and force us to evaluate our commitment to a better world.

US threatens permanent visa bans on trans athletes based on sex markers Exclusive: State department memo directs officers to bar those deemed to misrepresent birth sex on applications

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The end result of this is trans people can't travel to the USA without the risk of being permanently banned from entering the USA on grounds of "gender fraud".

Already know trans folks in high tech fields who will be cancelling plans to give talks in America.

Yesterday, Israel was supposed to free 600 Palestinians as part of the exchange deal, but they have not been released yet. This is a clear violation of the deal. Almost all Palestinian detainees are being tortured now.
