From the Toronto Star- not only do the Toronto Police not FIRE police who use the database to stalk women who won’t date them and violate the privacy of their exes and others, the only consequence is that they are docked pay. Cut their funds and divert the $ to women’s shelters.

If you want to learn more about sanctuary cities as policy, here's a primer. www.ncsl.org/immigration/...

theory of water on cbc ideas.

Canada is not only complicit with the presence of ICE officers but through the mass deportations that began at the end of the Trudeau government and escalated further by the Carney government. Not to mention the brutality of closing the door to asylum seekers crossing at the border through SCTA.

ICE has offices in 5 Canadian cities and has been part of major police operations. Given its role in escalating fascist authoritarianism this should be a clear NO. Abolish ICE and its transnational reach. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

Jails in Ontario are sites of harm, neglect and state-sanctioned abuse so severe that judges (hardly a radical political class) regularly take this into account in their sentencing. www.thestar.com/news/gta/whe...

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Let Black history month serve to remind us that the living legacy of slavery is the carceral state- policing, prison, immigration detention, and border enforcement. Abolition now.

I have a new chapter in the 2026 edition of Policing Black Lives on how police reform has expanded police power to surveil, monitor and criminalize Black communities for 70+ years now. Did you know in Canada community policing (first in parkdale, in Toronto ) has been a “reform” since the 1960s?

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

Great piece by longtime movmement homie Mostafa Henaway on social movements and what we are facing in Canada — neoliberalism, mass deportations and militarism www.midnightsunmag.ca/crisis-as-cl...

Deportation is state violence. Policing is state violence. There are long histories of struggles waged against state violence that can and DO inform the contemporary moment. Solidarity with organizers across borders today seeking to end violence and usher in more liveable futures for all.

I get why people say that abolishing ICE isn't radical because ICE is so young, but I actually do think we should emphasize that abolishing ICE, if it's going to have material impacts and align with the movements that birthed the demand, is indeed a radical thing.

This is racist state violence against children in Ontario: jailed young folks are disproportionately Black and Indigenous. No child should be jailed. www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

Reject the forces of tyranny and brutality. Every day.

In our latest, we speak with Ruth Wilson Gilmore and Craig Gilmore about the rapid escalation of police forces and carceral logics on US streets and why abolition is the only way www.patreon.com/posts/149118...

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition. We’ve also added a list of additional recommended reading:

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY We got 6 young people off the street and into motels before this historic snow storm. If you want to pitch in to keep them there through the winter, please send E transfers to [email protected].

New levels of impunity—like those the admin is trying to establish after these ICE executions — is alarming and ought to be opposed! But don’t forget that even when police ARE investigated, impunity is still the norm. consequences are highly rare. Taking away power and funding far more impactful

Anti-Black racism and Islamophobia converged in the 90s in Ontario through an anti-Somali panic across the immigration and welfare system. The result? Punitive immigration policies aimed at Somali asylum seekers, prosecution of “welfare fraud” to criminalize Black and all women’s poverty.

Canadians remember that Canada is also slated to massively ramp up deportations, and these police routinely collaborate with the CBSA, so racial profiling especially of Black folks can easily led to detention and deportation, even for long term residents.

So inspired by our comrades in Minneapolis, generations of multi-racial resistance to anti-Black carceral warfare on full display.

Training will never address the violence at the heart of policing. ICE is policing. The abolition of organized state violence is a fundamental necessity for any emancipatory path forward.

Wow!

"Abolition is a practice." "The collective enemy we are protecting our neighbors from is state violence." "By protecting our neighbors from ICE, we are practicing abolition." #Minnesota #USA #Protest #MutualAid #Policing #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

I got a copy immediately after seeing Ben’s recommendations; just started reading it last night but I’m already learning so much. @policingblack.bsky.social

"Strangest of all is the liberal pipe dream that local police will stand up against ICE and CBP, when police have collaborated with ICE and been deployed to protect agents from protesters, even in so-called sanctuary cities." An interview with Robin D.G. Kelley www.bostonreview.net/articles/ren...

"Everywhere you see American imperialism ruining lives, you'll find unscrupulous Canadians cashing in." "These men aren't patriots, they're profiteers. And in Mark Carney's Canada, they set the agenda." #Alberta #Canada #USA #FossilFuels #Climate #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

1000 days ago we woke up to my then 3 year old asking me if I could turn that horrible sound (of gunshots and explosions) off, because it’s scary. My heart goes out to everyone, especially those parenting while surviving this war in Sudan and elsewhere. May it all end inshallah. Everywhere.

Abolish police and policing, ICE included. Solidarity from Toronto to Minneapolis.

As governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney blocked Venezuela from accessing $1 billion of its own gold after coordinated pressure from Washington and the far-right Venezuelan opposition, directly aiding a US-led regime change effort and worsening a humanitarian crisis.

As of this morning, this needed e-petition asking the Cabinet to use Section 90 to disallow the use of the notwithstanding clause against transgender Canadians has been signed 13,650 times, so please join me in signing if you are based on my side of Turtle Island! 🙏🏾 www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Deportations in Canada reach highest rates since Stephen Harper, spending on removals up 50% since 2019. This is a conservative, anti migrant government. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Canadian products being used to commit war crimes in Gaza, Sudan, and the Caribbean, but stopping this apparently wrong because it would hurt the arms industry and relations with the fascists south of the border. We are governed by ghouls. www.readthemaple.com/liberals-fea...

Feeling great after taking part in Toronto’s Run for Sudan today despite the freezing wind. Huge thanks to the organizers.

Can’t wait to read .

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

According to the withdrawal maps in the ceasefire agreement, Israeli forces still control 58 percent of the Gaza Strip, labeling these regions as “areas within the Yellow Line.” This includes Rafah; parts of eastern Gaza City; Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun; and certain areas in Khan Yunis.
