The mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, literally used himself as a human shield to protect students from police violence

The French police are so militarized they blew up a 15-yr-old’s hand and took the eye of another one. Why are grenades being used to quell student protestors who are unarmed? Now the labour unions are stepping in to protect the students

Bally Bagayoko's incredible bravery here has also been (admirably, very admirably) imitated by many other politicians who have tried to intervene on behalf of the high schoolers. There are also several clips of Anthony Smith, député européen LFI, trying to engage with the forces where he is ignored.

Ontario’s average domestic undergrad tuition fees ⬆️ 3.5% last year to $10,655 – 1 of 4 provinces over $10,000. The 10-year ⬆️ was 17.6% (provincial inflation ⬆️ 30.9%). All Canadians deserve access to education – tell the government to invest in public colleges and universities.

6/9 This exposes a massive problem around what we call construct validity. The survey instrument collapses Jews, Judaism, Israel, and Zionism into a single monolithic category. It makes separating actual bigotry from political critique of a foreign state analytically impossible.

5/9 The report claims 95.7% of respondents experienced or witnessed antisemitism. Predictably, media repeated this ad nauseum. But the authors buried a crucial finding. 92% of students who said Zionism was not important to them reported their campus was safe and inclusive.
