This speaks to me, so much: the struggle to save the open green space of #UofT's Back Campus in spring 2013 has shaped all of my work since then. I'm so grateful to have learned from that time, though sad that we lost the space and the grass: thevarsity.ca/2013/02/25/tur…

When I was a community organizer, there were times I fought for things and lost. But during those fights, we built relationships, networks, and most importantly power. And that, within itself, was a win.

Frum is both out of his depth and lying about Muslims as usual. Lander beautifully recited Surah Ikhlas, one of the most famous chapters of the Quran which affirms the oneness of God. It says nothing about Christianity and is an affirmation of monotheism: quran.com/al-ikhlas
David Frum@davidfrum

The verse Lander recited was an Arabic-language denunciation of the Christian doctrine of the divinity of Jesus Christ. Jewish candidates for office normally show more respect for the majority faith in this country.

Slovenia has announced it will not broadcast this year's Eurovision Song Contest in protest of Israel's participation. Instead, its national broadcaster will air 'Voices of Palestine', a documentary series on Palestinian life. Five countries are boycotting the contest: Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain. Over 1,000 artists and cultural workers have signed a letter calling for a boycott.

The web is disappearing 🕳️ According to a Pew Research Center report, 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are no longer accessible. But that’s not the whole story. In a new study published in Internet Archive's book, VANISHING CULTURE, data scientists working with the Wayback Machine have found: 16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine. 56% are preserved before they disappear. Preservation is the remedy for cultural loss. 📚 Read VANISHING CULTURE free from the Internet Archive 📖 Download & read: archive.org/details/vanish… 🛒 Purchase in print: betterworldbooks.com/product/detail… #VanishingCulture #DigitalMemory #InternetArchive #BookTwitter

Redbone in 1974, opening with a powwow dance intro. The band made history as the first Native American group to reach the Top Five on the Billboard Hot 100.

The US has damaged a millennia-old Indigenous archaeological site with explosives to build the Mexican border wall. The work is taking place on Cuchumá Hill in Baja California, which was divided in the 19th century when the border was established. english.elpais.com/usa/2026-04-07…

Barack Obama was fond of invoking an abstract unity that was rhetorically elegant but fundamentally hollow. Mamdani is doing something quite different: engaging people through the prism of their own traditions in a moral language universalist in its implications. Link below ↓

Trump has called for elimination of funding for the Institute of American Indian Art (IAIA) from $13.5 million to zero. We need our storytellers and artists to elevate our stories, to continue our traditions, & to lift our spirits. Please make some calls!

In the past 30 days, Idris Robinson, a philosopher at Texas State University, Shirin Saeidi, a political scientist at the University of Arkansas, and Aris Fani, a scholar of Persian Studies at the University of Washington, have all been fired for speaking about the wars.
Laila Al-Arian@LailaAlarian

The University of Washington appears to have removed a professor, Aria Fani, from his position as director of the Middle East Center because he criticized Israel and stated that the claim that Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon was untrue.

Notice how quickly all that bullshit about liberating Iranians disappeared, and now it's all about bombing them back to the Stone Age, destroying their bridges and universities, poisoning their air and water, and stealing their oil.
