Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

The Lin Centre’s Research Group on Global Justice (RGGJ) and Critical Social Theory at McGill invite you to a conference on: 

Palestine and Global Justice: Revisiting the Terms of Political Theory

April 24-25, McGill University

Palestine and Global Justice: Revisiting the Terms of Political Theory examines how Israel’s genocide in Gaza has exposed both the political stakes of Palestine—self-determination, occupation, solidarity, and international law—and the  limits of core political and legal categories such as global justice, human rights, war, colonialism, and resistance. The conference asks whether existing conceptual and normative frameworks remain adequate after Gaza and seeks to rethink the key terms of political theory in light of the ongoing crisis.


Invited speakers include: 

Nasser Abourahme
Esmat Elhalaby
Samera Esmeir
Murad Idris
Nadim Khoury
Darryl Li
Nicola Perugini
Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian
Maya Wind

Pre-registration required: https://forms.gle/PssC14EwgEGh9pf56

Co-sponsored by the Groupe de recherche en philosophie politique, the McGill Refugee Research Group, and the Critical Media Lab

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything. Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."
