Doug Ford is waging an attack on working class people on behalf of landlords, and is accelerating the homelessness crisis. Relentlessly transferring wealth from the poor to the rich. Cruel.

Just published - I did a form interview on PBL2, policing, the crisis of the present, fascism, and the struggle against carcerality with the brilliant folks at 1919! 1919mag.com/1919-radio/t...

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

Montreal: you are missing out severely if you don’t make it to this incredible play by @aloft -an incredible Indigenous re-history of Montreal, a love story, a tale of the bones beneath the city and ground into its buildings, with incredible visuals grounded in pre-colonial Haudenosaunee ceramics.

Where is a good place to publish a long form essay these days? Like 5000+ words ? Have something brewing 👀

No War on Chicago No War Anywhere

Black stories are unfairly targeted in recent book bans. In the last six years, the book banning movement has increased significantly. A substantial amount of the ire is directed at Black authors and works highlighting Black stories.

Sickening. Sending solidarity to our folks in Chicago. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Hands off Haiti, and no more imperial interventions. The “chaos” cited as the reason for intervention is directly related to the coup d’état organized by Canada, France and the US.

Thinking of all those big hearted ones who were abducted from the flotilla today. Free Palestine.

Solidarity with the the #SumudFlotilla: end the siege, feed the starving and end the genocide

“Blouin’s very birth troubled a colonial order erected on a strict racial hierarchy. She would make sure that her life would be far more of a problem for it.” @sandipto.bsky.social reviews MY COUNTRY, AFRICA, the autobiography of the anticolonial revolutionary published by @versobooks.bsky.social

Trump and accused war criminal Netanyahu unveiled a proposal that includes the creation of a “Board of Peace,” which will govern Gaza headed by Trump. Netanyahu threatened to “finish the job” if Hamas rejected the plan, which, at the time, Hamas said it had not even seen.

We live in a society and a world in which structural and state violence are permissible: Harm is penalized only when it is committed by the powerless, and the mass organized looting and brutality committed by private companies, powerful individuals and the state, is protected and sanctioned.

Just a reminder that only 14 of the 94 Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action have been implemented in Canada. The history of settler colonialism in Canada is uninterrupted, violent, ongoing.

This newsletter is a must read- in an an onslaught of news of the rise of fascist authoritarianism our centre needs to always be in the work to fight back, which is always so much larger than the media presents to us.

Must read!

It’s terrifying what we are witnessing in El Fashir. The UAE backed RSF encircling the city to starve and exterminate people, while the so-called intl. community treats the UAE as a peace broker. #KeepEyesOnSudan

We should all be anti-fascist

My students were very happy to spend time with assata shakur’s words today and to engage her reflections on prison, slavery, and exile. Her works were already in the curriculum but we spent additional time today to honour her passing.
