Today in Ottawa, we announced the filing of a lawsuit against the government of Canada for violating its duty to prevent genocide.
Our clients, two Palestinian Canadians whose families in Gaza have been devastated by Israel's genocidal rampage, allege that Canada has violated their constitutional rights.
It is time for @JustinTrudeau and @MelanieJoly to answer for their support for Israel's genocidal regime.

Israel has blocked aid from entering northern Gaza and has said clearly that Palestinians will not be allowed to return home.
This is genocide.
This is ethnic cleansing.

If you're going to vote ❌ today

Then we would recommend voting 🟩 @sianberry in Pavilion, and 🟩 @Elaine4Kemptown in Kemptown and Peacehaven.
If you are in Hove and Portslade, we recommend ❌ for @tanushkamarah :
Radical anti-racist publisher & activist, Jessica Huntley is a significant but overlooked figure in British history. As a thesis examiner, I was privileged to read drafts of her forthcoming biography. Congrats @Claudia_writes_ on the magnificent cover reveal! 👏@hakimadi1👏
Book now: Dr Claudia Tomlinson discusses Jessica Huntley’s Pan-African Life.
ilcs.sas.ac.uk/events/caribb…. @hakimadi1 @amelimetre @Claudia_writes @alejataddesse @tionneparris @kabaessence
It is depressing that this stellar achievement occurs in the wake of the shocking decision by @chiuni to eliminate @hakimadi1's post and cut his MRes, leaving many other PhD and MRes students stranded without a supervisor. Such is the state of British academia & British history!
Bravo @BrightonHoveCC & @BrightonPSC!
💥💥💥 BREAKING!!
Brighton Council planning committee have just voted unanimously to REFUSE the L3Harris arms factory extension!
A massive victory for community resistance & organising.
#StopArmingIsrael 🇵🇸
Young people are building the University of the Future, on a foundation of justice and solidarity!
As Israel assaults Rafah, and photos of yet more headless Gazan children flood the internet, here’s a trenchant voice from the student protests refusing to accept the mass slaughter of innocents. I hope this clip goes viral! #CEASEFIRE_NOW #BringThemAllHome

📣VICTORY FOR PALESTINE AT GOLDSMITHS📣
Goldsmiths management has conceded to Goldsmiths for Palestine demands‼️
We have won the first undergraduate Palestinian scholarships at a British university and huge wins on all of our other demands.
This is how a trade union behaves, @Soc_of_Authors.
@ProfSunnySingh @QueerManxPoet @leoneross @AnnaGunin
Some of my views on the failure of @Soc_of_Authors to endorse a resolution to make a statement on Gaza. I focus on process here, but also feel a keen sense of shame over this terrible refusal of solidarity. Thx @QueerManxPoet @AnnaGunin @ProfSunnySingh for all your work on this.

On Monday my friend @maozinon & I had a conversation on TED stage. The video was just released. Both of us had family members killed but remain committed to peacemaking. Please share & amplify our message because it’s rarely seen on mainstream media

This is 'Whistling' by Maya Abu Al-Hayyat from 'A Blade of Grass: New Palestinian Poetry' a must-read anthology published by @SmokestackBooks. Translated by Al-Hayyat and @naomifoyle.
ALT Whistling Do you see the hole in my neck? I no longer remember whether it was from a bullet or a word But I am sure that two lips have passed through it And left their whistle Behind That is why you hear this rattle Whenever I turn to look back on the past Or forward to the future Note: The poem is left, not right aligned but this cannot be altered in ALT text.
