We Support the Nakba Exhibition
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is set to launch its exhibit on the Nakba, titled Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present. The Museum has worked closely with the Palestinian Canadian community to develop this groundbreaking resource, while the broader Palestine movement has been tirelessly advocating for Nakba recognition in schools, cultural spaces, and in Parliament.The Nakba, or the Catastrophe, marks the forced expulsion, displacement, and ethnic cleansing of around 750,000 Palestinians from their ancestral homeland in 1948 during the creation of the state of Israel. For Palestinians, the Nakba never ended, as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank continue to be displaced through Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaigns and ever-expanding settlements.

#MaskoffMaersk
How deep does Maersk’s complicity in the genocide on Gaza go? According to a groundbreaking new report, it goes as far as the very components used to construct Israel’s bullets. Our report finds that Maersk shipped 1.4 million kilograms (~3 million lbs) of bullet cores and cases.That is the equivalent of over 100 school buses-worth of bullet components. Maersk shipment of bullet cores & cases makes them actively complicit in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, equipping Israel with the exact tools needed to shoot Palestinians at point blank.

Together, we will learn from her newest publication, Earth for Sale: The Fight to Stop the Last Plunder of the Planet, a compelling and timely call to protect the global commons and safeguard our shared future.
In “Earth for Sale”, Maude introduces us to ‘financializing nature’—the new commercialization of the commons. She meticulously documents this growing corporate plunder, showing how efforts to protect nature must not be handed over to private interests driven by profit. Her analysis invites us to reflect on what it means to defend the integrity of Earth’s systems in an era of accelerating ecological and economic pressures.

At the heart of this concept are indications that capital accumulation is running up against some inherent limits. just as the hucksters of private capital are crowing that so-called Artificial Intelligence will usher in a capitalist utopia of unlimited prosperity (for whom?).
Panelists: Michael Roberts, “Capitalism in the 2020s and Beyond”; Alfredo Saad-Filho, “The Rise of Neoliberal Fascism and the Challenges for the Left”; and Stephen Maher, “Profitable Immiseration: Finance Capital at the End of the World.” Invited commentator: Catarina Principe, a political activist from Portugal, a co-editor of Europe in Revolt, and a contributing editor of Jacobin magazine.

ARTICLES
Confronting the Resurgent Right
Join us for the launch of Confronting the Resurgent Right. Scholars and activists take Canada’s 2022 “Freedom Convoy” as a recent manifestation of deep-rooted extremism and provide intersectional commentary on the resurgence of the political right, demonstrating how its ideology permeates and shapes the structures of our society. With evidence-based research, and careful analysis of the genesis and methods of the right, contributors to this volume model pathways of resistance and charge us with our most urgent collective tasks: finding ways to work together, building coalitions in civil society, and exposing and countering the regressive forces that spew hate.Source: LeftStreamed
The Era of Central Bank Independence Is Coming to an End
By Martijn KoningsCentral banks are under siege in many countries but nowhere more prominently than in the United States, where MAGA partisans see control over the Federal Reserve as being critical to the future of their movement. The confirmation of Kevin Warsh as the new Fed chair is a significant step in that direction. Warsh has no formula for delivering the low interest rates that Donald Trump demands without depriving the central bank of the main instrument it uses to combat inflation. As policy dilemmas intensify, pressure will soon mount to further open the edifice of monetary policy to the forces of populist authoritarianism.
