“Water no get enemy,” the Fela Kuti song goes. I’m reminded of it as I read @pacinthe.bsky.social's moving piece in @cangeo.bsky.social about Bashar Alshawwa and his work to protect what belongs to all. canadiangeographic.ca/articles/wat...

Waterkeeper: how water can be a blueprint for peace

For Bashar Alshawwa, water is not just a basic need — it is both the heart of global inequality and the key to peace. After decades of occupation, exile and war, he is working to turn a weaponized res...

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents."

Look, the “fraud” isn’t fraud, just “crime” isn’t crime. It’s a stand-in for race. To be nonwhite is to be fraudulent, just as it’s a crime to be nonwhite. The press does not have to accept this coded language. Reporters can say what the regime means.

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

Great stuff as always from @pacinthe.bsky.social I gotta agree. For me they haven't been polarizing (other than the one AI lovers vs AI haters discussion) but I've met a handful of people at the dog park at my girl's building that have turned into legitimate friends over the past 3 years.

@pacinthe.bsky.social had gotten used to the way people walk stoically past each other in Toronto, careful not to interrupt their neighbours’ “highly practised aloneness together.” But in March, she did something that punctured that quiet: she adopted a dog. thewalrus.ca/dog-parks-are-th...

A war of annihilation is unfolding in Gaza, but you wouldn’t know it from Canada’s establishment media. What they produce isn’t coverage—it’s a cover-up. The Breach is publishing a new book, a call for truth-telling in journalism. Order it here: breachmedia.ca/when-genocid...

My essay “Beautiful Like The Moon” for @thenewquarterly.bsky.social - which names our censorship and failure of language on Palestine - has been nominated for a National Magazine Award. An especially meaningful nod on World Press Freedom Day. Thank you to editors Vinh Nguyen and Pamela Molloy.

"The moral component of history, the most necessary component, is simply a single question, asked over and over again: When it mattered, who sided with justice and who sided with power?" - Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

While people recognise overt forms of discriminatory over policing - such as stop & search - live facial recognition technology presents a new threat. Black Londoners are disproportionately surveilled, highlighting a growing racial disparity that often goes unnoticed. Terrifying.

Screaming about diversity in @thewalrus.ca: "To many of those who oppose DEI there’s an underlying assumption that Black people, women and gender-diverse people...are somehow less qualified. It’s the inverse that’s true: for many of us, we’ve succeeded *despite* having these overlapping identities."

The Walrus@thewalrus.ca · last yr.

Institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion frameworks have always been flawed, but today’s backlash against DEI isn’t about merit. Journalist @pacinthe.bsky.social explores: thewalrus.ca/dei-was-always-f...
