Allyship is not the absence of conflict. It is the embrace of tensions that builds understand & strengthens solidarity

Being a critical equity educator, means naming & fighting against all forms of oppression in education & schooling. It also means naming & speaking out against genocide

“We must ask why the humane and principled policies offered to Ukrainians are not extended to people fleeing Palestine and Sudan. In the absence of any justification from Canada… what is the cause but anti-Black and anti-Palestinian racism?” 3 doctors ask thestar.com/opinion/contri…

BREAKING: Israel bombed Syria this morning, targeting a residential neighborhood in Damascus. Israel is bombing 3 different countries at the same time, namely Lebanon, Syria and Palestine, and total silence of course from both the media and the international community.

University of Ottawa doctor reinstated after suspension for pro-Palestinian posts says he won't go back. Complaints said he used “apartheid” & “settler colonialism” in posts. His research has focused on Indigenous health, anti-racism and decolonization. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

In just 8 weeks, Israel killed 86 journalists in Gaza. This is the highest toll of journalists killed during a “war” in modern history.

Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls. One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails. Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)

Do you know what day tomorrow is? Dec 9, “The International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime.” Right now there is a genocide happening in Palestine and none of our leaders who claim to respect democracy and human rights are doing a damn thing to prevent it. Shame and disgust.
