Israel and US: destabilizes the Middle East

Canada: why would Iran do this?

I become more and more convinced that the AI is just right wing class war and the lack of white collar worker organisation due having been flattered for years as geniuses and fed like farm geese has just led to a colossal lack of awareness of the class interests going on.

Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux joins Liberal caucus: Carney | CBC News Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux has joined the Liberal cacucus, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on social media Wedneday.

I know liberals see this as "Yay! Building up that majority! Bleeding Poilievre dry!"

But for the rest of us, this is a huge red flag.

These people ran on a platform of hate, xenophobia and fear mongering. What does it say that they feel seen by the Liberals right now? Yikes.

How White Elites Drained Ancient Art of Its Color The publication of “Chroma” represents an important shift by museums toward recognizing polychromy and its entanglement with white supremacy.

There is a fab new book out about the 2022 polychromy exhibition at the Met. It underscores 38 scholars who are the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 experts in polychromy today. Coming out of polychromy retirement to review _Chroma: Sculpture in Color from Antiquity to Today_ for @hyperallergic.com (edited by Natalie Haddad).

None of this is inevitable

Wouldn't be surprised if UofA follows this trend within Flanagan's current mandate

I strongly urge faculty, staff, and students at the University of Alberta to bring a human rights challenge at the Alberta Human Rights Commission.

Win or lose (probably win) the University and UCP would hate to have their dirty laundry aired in public. So do it.

🧵The University of Alberta is celebrating the inaugural TIME Magazine rankings, which places it 75th globally and 3rd in Canada.

But @pinglamjoeip.bsky.social and I found that established QS World University Rankings tells a more concerning story about the university’s recent developments.

I've been saddened today to learn that the University of Alberta is going down MAGA road and wants to abolish Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

So I've written to University President Bill Flanagan, warning him of the legal risks. Because the University may need suing.

U of A looks to remove EDI from hiring policy | CBC News The University of Alberta is proposing to eliminate Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) from its hiring policy, a year after the school initially said it was moving away from the term.

New emails obtained by CBC through access of information show that before announcing the end of EDI at the University of Alberta, the president sent his announcement to the UCP before publication.

How's that for institutional neutrality?

As faculty, I am still very puzzled as to why we didn't vote for strike back in the fall

This place is hell, part 2948

Lololol we were all just patiently waiting for that one to come up

BREAKING: Tenants across Minneapolis and Saint Paul have just launched a Twin Cities tenant union, citing the fact that their cities are under siege, and saying they need to band together to protect one another.

Cover of THY WILL BE DONE

My book cover art is by Titus Kaphar. Over a portrait of Washington, he shredded and nailed the runaway advertisement GW placed for Ona Judge after she fled from slavery in Philadelphia. It quite literally forces us to ask how we’d see Washington differently if we put slavery front and center.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

Carney’s steamrolling of Indigenous sovereignty for resource extraction is the exact ideological motivator that leads MAGA to assert unquestioned domination over the American hemisphere (for lack of a better term). If you don’t recognize this, you are prone to fall for nationalist posturing.

And our dept Chair had to choose between cutting classes or the bi-annual course releases that alleviate the workload for area coordinators last semester.

To paraphrase Prime Minister Carney, we must be honest about the world “as it is” and “name reality”:

The business elites at the World Economic Forum are spineless fascist-enabling sociopaths

wait is all international political theory just having to talk about that one fucking country without saying the name out loud

Absolute weak sauce

I have zero expectation that anyone will stand with Canada in the event of US aggression against us. Certainly not the UK or Europe. Not conscientious objectors in the American military. Not Democrats. Not the American people on the whole.

Carney is just so very weak.

Ah fuck. Oh no. God no.

Data centers are a form of state capture by a parallel economy and parallel governance that is anti democratic, corporatist and ultimately outside of the control of government.
