As Bisan Ouda calls for protests on February 17th through 19th 2024, the Durham pro-Palestine scene organized a car rally protest on the 17th, at 12PM, at Princess Auto, 1455 McCowan Road Unit 1, in Scarborough.
The situation grows more and more untenable every day. They are looking to represent the Palestinian-Canadian families left stranded by the Canadian government in Ghazzah, especially the Abu Hassiran, Mansour, and Kouta families. Please take action.

Durham City Baths Durham, England  Built in 1932 to replace the original bathhouse from the 1860s, it’s been abandoned since its closure in 2008 and has been a popular spot for graffiti artists and urban explorers for many years. Despite supposedly having contractors working on the building, they only partly dismantled it in 2019, abruptly ceasing the demolition shortly after when 3 workers turned up drowned in the long-empty pool.

Freshman Brandon Goodson wants his math teacher back. Goodson and approximately 30 other students walked out of class this morning at 9:30 to protest math teacher Kayla Thompson’s absence.  “It’s not fair,” Goodson said. “We’re standing for her because she can’t do it by herself.”
On Sunday, March 17, Thompson was named Pirate Hero of the Month. Riverside [High School in Durham, North Carolina] posted a photo of her posing with the award in front of a Palestinian flag on Facebook and Instagram. In the days that followed, dozens of commenters, many of whom are not affiliated with Riverside, criticized the flag.  “This kind of propaganda should not be allowed in the classroom,” one commenter who lives in Raleigh wrote. “She certainly isn’t creating a safe environment for her Jewish students.”  “Why does she have a Palestinian flag in her classroom? That is highly inappropriate and awful for her Jewish students to have to deal with in the classroom,” wrote another. Thompson’s students, however, thought differently.  “I didn’t view it as anti-semitic,” said junior Tiam Famet, Thompson’s second period teaching assistant. “Ms. Thompson saw that people in Palestine were hurting and she wanted to voice her support, and she did that by hanging up the flag.” “She had the flag up for a really long time,” said freshman Kyla Bannerman, a student in Thompson’s first period class.  The social media posts were deleted, and on Tuesday during first period RHS administrators asked Thompson to remove the flag. She took the flag down, then left campus and has not returned. Later that day, Thompson’s third period students recreated the flag with dry erase markers on the board. 
Assistant principal Greg Goble declined to comment about the week’s events. Thompson also declined an interview with The Pirates’ Hook, but said she hopes to speak about the incident soon.  During the protest, several students held signs saying “Free Palestine,” “Is This Scary DPS?” and “End The Occupation.”  A parent dropping off her child at school began arguing with students about a particular sign. The woman walked toward the protesters and began yelling, stating that they were “promoting suicide bombers.”  In response, students chanted “Free Palestine!”  Student Resource Officers (SROs) and administrators asked her to leave campus.  Thompson’s students protested again during A-Lunch. “[Administration] just brushed it to the side,” Goodson said. “That’s why we stood up for the class. We were her voice.”
-- "Kayla Thompson was named Pirate Hero of the Month. She hasn’t been to work since." by Isaiah Heinz, Delia Aguilar, Taliyah Cooper and Elena Paces-Wiles for The Pirates' Hook, 22 Mar 2024

Three Durham police officers committed professional misconduct when they showed "pro-police bias," conducting an inadequate investigation of the incident that led to the conviction of an off-duty Toronto constable for assaulting Dafonte Miller in 2016, according to a disciplinary tribunal ruling.
Citing the serious injuries sustained by then-19-year-old Miller, retired Ontario Provincial Police Supt. Greg Walton, who oversaw the disciplinary proceedings, said in a ruling dated June 26 that the officers ignored clear signs that a thorough investigation was warranted.
"The inequity in injuries and one-sided result of the altercation alone begged for questions to be asked," Walton said.
"I am convinced that the main reason those inquiries did not occur is because of the involvement and role of an off-duty officer." [...]
