This is totally embarrassing for @YorkUniversity. Calling the cops because some students are attending a lecture from an expert on Israel-Palestine violence? What is the goal here? It seems like administrators are just flailing at this point.

Breaking my Twitter exile briefly here to point out how seriously this imperils the freedoms that canadians think they have. This is also why so many young people are getting behind a movement for Palestinian freedom. They see the stakes for their future. breachmedia.ca/toronto-police…

I kid you fucking not. A reporter from the CBC, just 5 minutes ago, asked me if I can speak with her about "why doesn't Gaza have an airport?" I kid you fucking not. Again, DO NOT consume Canadian media.

CUASA and @CUPE2424 will be holding a joint Solidarity Rally in support of @cupe4600 tomorrow, March 29, at 12:00 PM. We’ll gather in the Tory quad to send a very loud message to the @Carleton_U admin on the Fifth Floor, and then march down to Bronson. Please spread the word!

I fully support the necessary strike action taken by @cupe4600 today. CIs and TAs deserve a better offer from @Carleton_U, which saved a ton of $ by capping wages the last three years (thanks to Bill 124).

CUASA stands in solidarity with our @cupe4600 colleagues who are striking for a fair deal from @Carleton_U. We encourage our members to join the rally today at 10am at the Bronson entrance, if you're free and able to attend. Strike info for CUASA members: cuasa.ca/wp-content/upl…

Good thread laying out how I also see the problem of disinformation. Except for the cults part. I think it's closer to what a previous generation of sociologists called subcultures.

Many are comparing the policing of Black led and indigenous protests with the policing of the truckers ‘Freedom Convoy”. There are no perfect comparisons, at least until some new organizing happens amongst truckers. I understand the police strategy in the following way:
