If faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains, the faith of a people in their nation and in each other could move the world!

Police jail, add charges, against author Yves Engler. Drop all charges @SPVM @Val_Plante https://t.co/PGlpzvdDX9

@SPVM drop charges against author @EnglerYves. He’s being charged for social media posts opposing Israel's apartheid and genocide. https://t.co/cz87to7TND

This may be the most important post you read today.

As Trump takes office & pledges mass deportations, below is a shareable film series written *by immigrants for immigrants* on how to safely defend against ICE.

@equedia It's time for Canada to join BRICS

[Afif Aqrabawi @AjAqrabawi]

Yesterday during a lab meeting, my mentor informed me that I may no longer progress in my career due to my so-called 'infamy.' I was told that I was to blame for the challenges I've been facing in publishing my work—that my 'negative' political activism might be provoking the particularly unusual hostility of peer reviewers. Apparently, several 'respectable' figures in the scientific community have contacted him to voice their disapproval and even urged him to terminate my employment. This also highlights how the cowardly silence of my 'allies' perpetuates bigotry and exclusion.

To my 'colleagues' who feel entitled to pass judgment on my existence as a Palestinian scientist—one who cannot turn away from the human instinct to preserve life while witnessing the daily murder of my people—I regret to inform you that I will continue to exist, unapologetically, with no regard for your comfort or supremacist ideals.

Fortunately, science is not confined to institutions. It lives in my mind and heart, and I can enjoy it fully—even from the solitude of my imagination; even if I were to become homeless. Home, however, is precisely what I am fighting for. I only wish I had the privilege to contemplate nature, without the existential threat of Zionism.

From my perspective at the margins here at MIT, I have come to see academia for what it truly is: a stronghold of racism, classism, and spiritual rot masquerading as enlightenment.

Apologies in advance if I don’t respond to comments on this post—this is a deeply personal reflection, shared primarily for myself.

Too bad media doesn't focus more on how to stop the bloodbath in Gaza and less on how to punish labour leader trying to draw attention to it. #canlab

This is an outrage. Seriously, symbols of Palestine solidarity banned at the Canadian National Exhibition?

WE need a movement that unites those campaigning against #NuclearWar with those against #ClimateChange. What is the unifying thread? #HumanSecurity. https://t.co/jyMgvA2I5U @VOWPeace @ClimateFast @tomdeligiannis @elliekirzner @ploughshares_ca @IPPNW @PugwashConfs

[Campaign Against Arms Trade @CAATuk]

The US decision to authorise a further $20 billion in arms sales to Israel as it continues its genocidal war in Gaza, is disgraceful, immoral, and contrary to international law.

At what point does a region become uninhabitable? Lahore, #Pakistan, endures temperatures of 120 degrees F, with high humidity. Heat causes deaths. What happens next? #HeatStroke #ClimateCatastrophe https://t.co/qGVoM7MU9e
