Congratulations to the @dalfaculty.bsky.social for their steadfast work to secure a fair deal for their members. We were proud to stand beside you every step of the way. Let's hope that the nonsense that was wrought upon you will never be witnessed again.

Israel is targeting children, more than 100 shot in head by sniper rifles and targeted by drones, according to foreign doctors. The West has toppled governments for nothing through the last 100 years, but it continues to sustain this genocidal terror state no matter what they do.

Senate must ask leadership to explain this Aug18 claim: "If a labour disruption is inevitable, then it’s in Dalhousie Univ’s best interest to move to that stage now" Why was disruption "inevitable"? What "interest" does this refer to? Show Senate the evidence for this conclusion. #KeepDalStrong
