Passing of Bill C-12 is an Attack on Refugee and Migrant Rights in Canada - CCLA A broad coalition of human rights, civil liberties, refugee and migrant rights, gender justice, and data privacy organizations have denounced the adoption of Bill C-12, which became law yesterday. Thi...

Can Canada ever be far behind? Historically, Canada has always followed the U.S. in instituting racist immigration policies. Here we go AGAIN! And no, it did not take the conservatives to pass the law - it was the (right) centrists - the effing Liberals.

Beat the Monday blues with Ab tere bin jee lenge hum by Kumar Sanu Beat the Monday blues with Ab tere bin jee lenge hum by Kumar Sanu

The most beautiful way to star my Mondays, reading Sulagana Biswas' column "Beat The Monday Blues" in The Telegraph - T2. Here's a poignant homage to the music that sustained my 90s, and at least for me, kept my dreams alive in a world that was mostly full of bad humans.

Not Monday blues, but... Back in 1959, folk singer Pete Seeger drew on Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 — one of the wisdom books of the Old Testament, the other two being Proverbs and Job — to write what he felt was a song of protest. In...

By my bestie, Sulagana Biswas about a timeless protest song. More relevant than ever. www.telegraphindia.com/t2/not-monda...

Israeli commados taking Gaza-bound aid ship, Madleen, to Israel The Madleen crew are now being detained by Israeli forces after their ship was stopped close to 100 miles from Gaza.

This necro-State needs to be held accountable for uncountable war crimes. But attacking and abducting peaceful volunteers for bringing aid to people that are being starved to death…how? www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

students and AI can both write shitty papers, but only students can write great papers. That's like the only lesson that they need to know when they decide to use it

Thank you Aoife. Honoured.

Sharing on behalf of my @cunygcsociology.bsky.social friend/colleague Ruth Milkman who isn't on social media. Here's her statement re a problematic censoring of an obituary for Michael Burawoy to appear in ASA Footnotes #soctwitter #socsky #sociology

Unconscionable! I just requested ASA to allow international scholars to present online, given the risks of traveling to the U.S., and got a stern, corporatish no! What are these organizations we are part of?

Thanks for posting. I know these students very well and they have taken on a herculean task of supporting this newcomer young man who became unhoused and has no social support in Calgary.

The level of anxiety and sadness I am feeling about the escalation of India's war with Pakistan is unsettling. What is this madness? No one wins in a war!
