I don’t post much on here anymore, for obvious reasons, but I thought I’d post this little talk on fascism that I prepared for the @broadbent Institute last fall. I’m glad it’s finally gone up, I’m less glad to be proven right about the new fascism. perspectivesjournal.ca/fascism-jon-we…

Really fortunate that I was able to join fellow social democrats in celebrating Ed Broadbent’s life last week. For those interested in supporting the work Ed was doing please consider contributing to the Ed Broadbent Democracy Fund. broadbentlegacy.ca/democracy-fund

This is a problem across the entire Ontario college sector. The reliance on (and exploitation of) precariously-employed contract faculty is detrimental to students, faculty, and the system as a whole. Time for a responsible, ethical academic staffing model! #onpse

This is a really important link to two @propublica articles by @JenBerryHawes on the need to move histories of enslavement, enslaved people, and their enslavers in Charleston to the forefront, in the face of continuing efforts to deny the truth of these histories.
Jennifer Berry Hawes@JenBerryHawes

🧵When I moved to Charleston 25 years ago, historic sites called enslaved people “servants.” They were largely ignored in the broad shadow of Confederate monuments. Beyond the Civil War, it was hard to learn much about the city’s legacy of slavery at all.

The Anglican Diocese of Toronto has made a powerful statement calling on all levels of government to work together to provide shelter to asylum seekers and expedite 2,000 rent supplements, and for the federal government to honour its $97 million financial commitment to refugees.
