I realize I was too critical of this piece. It’s not the journalists job to write my story, and of course there is missing info (there is only so much room). @isaacphannay.bsky.social did a great job writing an unbiased article that balances both sides - something we can rely on from the Tyee.

No Neutrals There: U.S. Labor, Zionism, and the Struggle for Palestine by @jeffschuhrke.bsky.social details how U.S. labor unions have played a key role in building and maintaining the state of Israel.

My dad passed away just before COVID. He was a Union activist for 30+ years. He was known for his no-nonsense attitude, wide-ranging knowledge of law, and fairness. It is this fairness that has informed how I move through the world, and I know he would be proud if me. usw1944.ca/articles/bro...

This is why we need more Indigenous people in the labour movement. Indigenous people at the helm wouldn’t have stood for a smear campaign full of lies, and violence that escalated to vandalism and continued harassment, against me as an Indigenous woman. More Indigenous unions please.

This Saturday!! @fernpub.bsky.social

Calling all book & pastry lovers! We’re holding our annual booksale to raise funds for Gazan & Indigenous families. Sun, Dec. 7th, 10-5 PM 1422 William St Donations can be dropped off at Massy, Nov 5th-26th from Sunday to Friday If you have more than 10 boxes, please email [email protected]

If you tried to call the store today and no one answered, it’s because I was the only one there and I’ve lost my voice. If I did pick up, all you would have heard is a squeak or faint whispering, and heavy breathing 😂 Staff return to work tomorrow and we’ll be answering the phone again!

Imagine being a bookseller at a bookstore you dont own, squatting in it after you destroyed it through a smear campaign, and then demanding the owner give you all their books. And it all started with clogged toilets… www.the-londoner.co.uk/scarlett-let...

Public media. The idea is a simple assertion: the public deserves easy access to news and information about the world, so that they can make evidence-based decisions about everything from health and economics, to politics and art. The US government is defunding public media. Ask yourself why.
