Oct 16, 2025 - No Fair Play Under Occupation

By Sanjana P. Rahman and Nibras K. Chowdhury

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, the world's largest sporting event is set to unfold against the backdrop of Israel's ongoing mass atrocities in Gaza and a growing global consensus that the Israeli state is engaged in genocide. Israel's occupation of Palestine, the longest running occupation in modern history, forms the context for repeated calls for FIFA - the international governing organisation in soccer - to take action ahead of the 2026 World Cup. From formal appeals by the Palestinian Football Association to growing global solidarity movements demanding that Israel's national team be banned from international soccer, at no time has the role of FIFA been as crucial as now.

Oct 15, 2025 - Allan Gardens, Toronto: Protest and Public Space

By Bryan Palmer

For centuries, various Annishinaabe First Nations - among them the Mississauga, Ojibwe, and others - inhabited territories on the northern shores of Lake Ontario, one of the Great Lakes that constitute part of the border of Canada and the United States. Canada's leading industrial province, Ontario, and its largest city, Toronto, were created through processes of colonization consolidating British dominance in the northern reaches of the Americas in the aftermath of the United States War of Independence, which commenced in 1775. This colonization, rooted in longstanding and ongoing dispossession of Indigenous Peoples, was marked by the creation of Upper Canada (Old Ontario) in the Constitutional Act of 1791.

Oct 12, 2025 - Palestinian Civil Society Reacts to the Trump-Netanyahu Genocidal Plan

In response to the so-called Trump Plan, a scheme primarily designed by Israel's fascist government to save it from its unprecedented global isolation, in the midst of the ongoing, livestreamed US-Israeli genocide against millions of Palestinians in Gaza, and recognizing the diversity of political positions among Palestinian parties, the Palestinian popular and civil society consensus on the following 5 fundamental points remains solid.

Oct 10, 2025 - Trump’s America: Echoes of a Fascist Past

By Henry A. Giroux

The irony is unbearable. US President Donald Trump has saturated public life in lies, turned immigrants and Black citizens into targets of contempt, and made corruption and violence the new grammar of governance. He pledges loyalty to dictators, surrounds himself with sycophants and thugs, and wields state power as a weapon - abducting foreign students, persecuting immigrants, and declaring war on political dissent. Even in moments of tragedy, he traffics in cruelty, grotesquely blaming the left for Charlie Kirk's death before the alleged suspect, Tyler Robinson, was even arrested.

Oct 9, 2025 - Mobility as a Project for a Dignified Life

By Katarine Flor

"What best defines public transport today is exhaustion." This is the opening quote of the documentary short film Tarifa Zero: cidade em disputa (Fare-Free Public Transport: An Urban Battle), summing up not only what millions of Brazilians experience in their everyday lives but also the brutal logic that structures Brazilian cities. It is a system that depletes the time, energy, income, and health of those who have to rely on public transport to work, study, access leisure, or simply live.
