The floods in Pakistan have devastated many parts of the country. But as always, the peripheries have fared worst, and faced patchy, inconsistent relief.

With some folks in Toronto, we're fundraising for aid in neglected areas like Buner & Jalalpur Pirwala:

Once revolutionary, Bangladesh’s student-led party now courts dubious allies. What does this say about “post-ideological” politics?

Revealed: Harvard publisher cancels entire journal issue on Palestine shortly before publication As Harvard’s feud with Trump escalated, so did tensions over an ‘education and Palestine’ issue of a prestigious journal. Scholars blame the ‘Palestine exception’ to academic freedom

"'Even within the broader landscape around Palestine in the university, it’s unprecedented,' said Chandni Desai, a professor at the University of Toronto and author of one of the scrapped articles.'"

📢ANNOUNCEMENT📢: Jamhoor is launching a new blog space!

📣 NEW RELEASE 📣 :

Sri Lanka condemns Israel’s military actions in Palestine while maintaining its own military control and settlement programs in Tamil territories -- Thiruni Kelegama

www.jamhoor.org/read/sri-lan...

"Not a deviation from standard policy, but the logical culmination of a decades-long consensus in Washington and Tel Aviv: that no independent power in the Middle East should be able to escape the architecture of subordination."

With brutal torture and disappearances, the Pakistani state continues colonial strategies of collective punishment in Balochistan

Our latest from Hazaran Rahim Dad

"Only a popular programme of national consciousness, based on Pakistan’s diverse working masses, will have the strength to manoeuvre in the changing world-system...It is only such a socially- and geographically-attuned national consciousness that can form the basis of a concrete internationalism."

New from @jamhoor.org: A joint statement by over 50 organizations condemning the Indian state's escalating violence against Indigenous Adivasi communities in Bastar.

@indinsaf.bsky.social
@indlabsol.bsky.social
@ldnminingnetwork.bsky.social

Jamhoor is co-sponsoring a series of online events on the rapidly deteriorating situation in Bastar, where the Indian state has intensified military operations against Indigenous (Adivasi) communities in pursuit of a “Maoist-free” India.

University of Toronto faculty and librarians have passed a historic divestment motion, calling on the University Pension Plan (UPP) to divest from companies profiting from war crimes in Palestine, Sudan, and beyond.

The challenge is to critique Trumpian neofascism without defaulting to a celebratory embrace of Canadian (or other) liberalisms and their institutions, which have their own coercive logics.

The very Munk School some now tout as a beacon of academic freedom also actively suppressed criticism of Munk and Barrick Gold on campus:

In 2008, as undergrads, we merely put up posters criticizing Munk’s Barrick Gold -- posters the university admin swiftly removed: thevarsity.ca/2008/02/14/u...

Clarifies well the distinction between neofascism and fascism.

Though, like fascism, neofascism appears to be generating its own paramilitaries (ICE etc).

And whereas fascism rejected Enlightenment values, neofascism seems to stage a paradoxical embrace of it against so-called “woke” critiques.

Friends in Princeton: I’d love to see you at my talk this week, where I’ll be in conversation with @prakashzone.bsky.social

Voices of Baloch Nationalism: A Conversation with Mahrang Baloch — Jamhoor Jamhoor spoke with renowned activist Dr. Mahrang Baloch on the latest upsurge in the Baloch national struggle, as well as the Pakistani Left and the country’s growing feminist movement.
