Five Nation Longhouse Confederacy

We stand in support with all who are occupying to divest institutions of higher learning (mcgill university montreal) from israel’s genocide upon the Palestinian Nation

not sure if a post is circulating about this already but if u didn't know, students in montreal--primarily from mcgill and concordia university--have been protesting mcgill's investments in israel for the last several days with an indefinite encampment.

on may 1, superior court justice chantal masse denied an injunction to ban all protests within 100 metres of mcgill buildings, which would have allowed the spvm (service de police de la ville de montréal) to storm and dismantle the encampment. still, mcgill insisted on requesting police presence, and there were cops stationed around the main entrances to campus. (source: my eyes.)

today, may 2, a lot has happened: pro-israel counterprotestors have swarmed the street outside the encampment, and there's a standoff as i type. mcgill admin sent us emails to tell us to stay away from the area for "safety reasons" while the spvm mobilize. quebec premier françois legault inserted himself into the situation and requested that the spvm dismantle the encampment and protests at their discretion.

ironically enough, he said this:

[photo id: white background with black text, an excerpt from citynews. a quote that reads, "i will still let the police decide when and how they do that, but the camps must be dismantled," he said at a press briefing at the national assembly on thursday - even though the quebec superior court rejected the day before a request for an injunction to move the encampment that has been there since saturday. legault said the encampment was "illegal" and that "the law must be respected." end photo id.]

though it's worrying that legault is overstepping the law he so desperately wants upheld, the police presence is more worrying atm. from the looks of it some of the counterprotestors have already dispersed and the street has been somewhat cleared, but the spvm remains all over the area.

mayor valérie plante stated 35 min ago to the montreal gazette:

“The priority of our administration and Montreal police at this moment is to protect the fundamental rights of our society, ensure the safety of everyone, and avoid an escalation of tension as observed in the United States."

mcgill faculty and community members have also expressed how nobody wants what's happening in the states to happen here. i don't really know how to end this. updates keep coming up. will continue to keep an eye out

Montreal's Universities McGill, Concordia, UQaM, UdeM, and the college Dawson are organizing another joint protest on Wednesday October 25th 2023 at 1:30PM on all their campuses, in response to pushback from administration.

Their demands, from both Canadian government and their Universities.

1) To disinvest from weapons manufacturers that support the Israeli genocide on Ghazzah. (Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman, and others.)

2) To stand for the immediate end to the siege on Ghazzah and the American and Canadian financing of Israel.

3) To cease the exchange programs of Israeli Universities and to cut all ties with zionist donators.

"Hand of God"

Can you see the shape of a hand in this new X-ray image?

The hand might look like an X-ray from the doctor's office, but it is actually a cloud of material ejected from a star that exploded.

NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, has imaged the structure in high-energy X-rays for the first time, shown in blue.

"Trans rights advocates stormed into a talk Tuesday afternoon at McGill University led by a speaker associated with a group they say is "notoriously transphobic and trans-exclusionary."

The talk was ultimately cancelled shortly after it started.

McGill University's Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism (CHRLP) hosted the event, titled Sex vs. Gender (Identity) Debate In the United Kingdom and the Divorce of LGB from T. It was led by McGill alumnus Robert Wintemute.

The CHRLP's website describes the event as a conversation around whether the law should make it easier for a transgender person to change their legal sex, "and about exceptional situations, such as women-only spaces and sports, in which the individual's birth sex should take priority over their gender identity, regardless of their legal sex."

"The T (trans) is so much more vulnerable than the rest of LGB. I think there's tons of scientific evidence speaking to that," said Celeste Trianon, a trans activist who led the protest against the event.

Trianon said Wintemute's talk excludes transgender people's rights and is transphobic, further discriminating against the community."
