Palestinians deserve an international tribunal, reparations, accountability, and liberation above all. Instead, the Western world is fantasizing over how to transform a people’s homeland into their investment bonanza. Settler fantasies are violent in every language. #Gaza #Nakba
The @FT covering the plans & the ppl angling to transform Gaza into an intl development hub on par w an EFZ. The “Great Trust” as it’s called requires ethically cleansing 1/2 a million Palestinians and is peak 21st century settler fantasy. https://t.co/mkcsnT1ZGW

127 cuts for Punjab ’95 shows institutional paranoia

It’s especially infuriating when you know that Punjab has provided Bollywood with decades of ‘content’ – a salubrious background for filmy fantasies or comic relief in the form of loud, bumbling...

What happens when two religious communities have extremely conflicting beliefs? Jharkhand's highest peak, known as Marang Buru to the Santal Adivasis and Parasnath hill to the Jains is a site of utmost sacred importance to both communities.

Premier Doug Ford should write a book about how to be a racist. You can’t excuse such deep-seated normalized anti-First Nation racism that is not just rooted in colonialism but also in present-day capitalist greed where corporate buddies will benefit at expense of First Nations.
Premier Doug Ford to First Nations: "There's going to a point where you can't just keep coming hat in hand all the time to the government. You gotta be able to take care of yourselves." Ford points to the gold mines and critical mines: "You're saying 'no, no, I don't want to

Thank you @KPateontheHill for keeping this issue of race- and sex-based discrimination in Indian registration under the Indian Act live. So many First Nations women, children, and grandchildren have been impacted. It's time all our people were welcomed back home. #firstnations

A reminder that even now, at the peak of Iran's attack, many more innocent people are being killed in Gaza than in Israel, and that you won't read a word about them in any Western news source. It's as if they are invisible, or at least regarded as subhuman, by our newsrooms
This horror is still happening and you won’t see a single headline about it in Western media today.

A reminder that academia as we know it is a colonial extractivist enterprise and an esssential arm of the Empire. It's also why citation is ALWAYS political AND ethical so choose wisely (and unlike these two)
Colonial extraction and unequal exchange have shaped two centuries of North-South inequality. 🧵A thread on a NEW STUDY written with @gatonievas [1/9] 🔗

More than 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza might be dead according to this analysis that relies on data from the Israeli IDF. Not surprising in the light of the Lancet report months ago that estimated the dead at 200,000. A monstrous genocide!

@PixieOfDeath: The Israeli army estimates there are 1.85 million people in Gaza. Subtracting the 100,000 estimated to have left for Egypt before Israel occupied Rafah crossing, it puts the death toll...

Israel has announced Gaza's survivors will be driven into a concentration camp. They will be left with a choice: leave Gaza, or die. No genocide was so documented or confessed to as it actually happened 👇 https://t.co/NjZ1l7GPz8

His colleague, meanwhile, says Gaza will be destroyed. Genocide in plain sight
