Dave Snow is out here telling a government committee that racist researchers are being sidelined.

But that's not the best part.

The best part is that the government committee is treating this as constructive feedback.

The Canadian Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research is launching a US-style attack on EDI in Tri-Council funding.

As part of this attack, they are demanding disclosure of confidential demographic info + reviewer comments of all Canadian researchers who have applied b/w 2000-2025.

NGL, with Link banned, our reach for the giving circle has dropped. Translation: less support for six families & a displacement camp in Gaza.

So let’s turn this around. This is still a survival fund—not even a rebuilding fund! They’re hungry & homeless.

5 hours left 🚨 545/1000 for six families.

The Decolonial Conference is about confronting complicity and building coalitions.

It’s about organizing and fighting against domination, imagining new worlds, and putting radical thought into action.

YEP YEP YEP. Even the non-Bath events completely ignore the critical work many have done to include critique and documentation of the horrors of empire. It feels like some folks were more than ready to throw out the critical work people were working so hard on in order to get a speaker’s fee.

We've taken our @marsdenfund.bsky.social "Poetics of Treaties" project on the road! Spending time today at the Agowiidiwinan Centre & at the Museum of Human Rights thinking about treaties in those contexts, then speaking tomorrow at UW.

Thank you to @kerrysinanan.bsky.social for hosting us there
Very excited that I will finally meet @nikkihessell.bsky.social in person tomorrow and cannot wait to hear her talk with Carwyn Jones on how we can center Treaties in our work and on comparing different treaty experiences and knowledges in 'Canada' and Aotearoa

These violent lynchings of a student, Trey Reed, and a homeless man are being hidden. There is a direct through line between the fascist response to Kirk's death, blaming everyone except their own, and these murders.

The number of white progressives and liberals stumbling over themselves and crying is pathetic. We see you. And we know you won’t lift a finger to protect the same marginalized ppl you grift off of. HATE IS NOT A POLITICAL OPINION. The fact that this has to be said is unconscionable
