How much are MPs entitled to know about research grants? Not as much as they think. A parliamentary committee is asking for researchers' personal information in what seems like an anti-DEI crusade, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

Such an important piece. Just a small request for an edit. At this point in time, we are not taking heritage trips to "concentration camps," but rather concentration camp memorials.

I went to Germany to speak with both Jews and non-Jewish Germans who are doing the work of bringing memory culture to life — and to learn how Germany's commitment to remember the Holocaust is being strained by the post-Oct. 7 and far-right politics.

Thanks to @boellus.bsky.social for their support.

Germany’s Holocaust remembrance culture has been strained by Oct. 7 and the rise of the far-right. What happens if Germany loses its memory?

Tobi Dahmen and Akram Al Saud engaged in conversations and life writing sessions throughout 2023 and 2024. Together, they co-created a graphic narrative based on Akram’s memories detailing his life under Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship, and his survival of Syria’s imprisonment and torture system.

We should never forget that this synagogue was targeted specifically because of their work with HIAS on refugee rights. Seven years later, we should honor their legacy by fighting antisemitism, but also by continuing to do the work of supporting refugee resettlement and migrant rights.

The Workers Circle @workerscircle.bsky.social · 7d

Seven years ago today, 11 Jewish people were murdered at the Tree of Life Congregation, a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In their names, we will continue to stand up against hate, bigotry and the rise in antisemitism taking place around the country. May their memories be for a blessing.

My favorite part of this hour-long conversation between a Jewish woman and a Palestinian Israeli woman, members of Standing Together, is at the end when both say:

“Thank you for being authentic — and for triggering me.”
😅 Their deepest feelings don't always match but they are still allies.

A new episode of The Long Answer podcast came out today! Tune in to hear Sally and Jess discuss whether they have consensus about their ideas for the future, and how we should go about mobilizing people in Israeli society toward a political solution.
