Canadians justifying increased border, police & military spending with the argument that we need to protect ourselves from a US Invasion are disconnected from the reality that our economic entanglement with the US & the three corporations we call a country on our end are a far bigger threat.

The Iranian people have a right to self determination and a just, liberated, pluralistic society under civilian rule. They also have the right to be free from US sanctions, US & Israeli intelligence interference & military violence.

"who do we call in *insert extreme scenario* if we can't call the cops?" 1. The first generative question we should be asking is "do we know our neighbors?" 2. Every abolitionist world imagines someone on the other end of the line in a crisis 3. Cops are reactionary & escalators of violence

Folks in Canada watching this horror unfold should not think of it as an American problem. During a housing crisis, alarming food insecurity, and cuts to every meaningful social support at the federal and provincial level Canada is hiring more CBSA agents & increasing border & military spending.

Friends don't let friends become cops. We need to make becoming a cop/fed so shameful & unthinkable in our communities.

Being a Black woman with a public platform means that people - predominantly men - call me ugly regularly. and truly WHO CARES? I have the right to be ugly & no duty to be pleasing to your eyes. Ugly is morally neutral, there are so many worse things to be: cruel, selfish, unjust etc.

The sun rose over Sudan, marking 1000 DAYS OF WAR. 1000 days of genocide, displacement, land theft, sexual violence, resource theft & destruction. 1000 days of manufactured famine, war lords, political elites & proxies looting our people. Free the land. Free the people. Free Sudan!

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

It's never about protesting "peacefully" or "complying" with cops. It's always about a monopoly on violence.

Not the "we can prosecute them under a dem government in 2028" crowd piping up. Get a GRIP beloved & wake the fuck up!

Ya'll cannot be serious

So many of us know the dehumanization of being designated as "terrorist" so that you can be criminalized even in death. We see right through that.

We have to be equipped to challenge & shut down any reformist nonsense. We can't give our energy to "saving" institutions that are functioning exactly as intended. Reformist logic at this point is straight up counter-revolutionary & a classic tactic of counterinsurgency & demobilization.

Solidarity, rage & prayers for Renee Good who was murdered by ICE. May she rest in power, may we honor her courage with our own. Solidarity to all who resist & all who are caught up in the belly of border violence. Abolish ICE, Abolish the border. GREATER EMPIRES HAVE FALLEN.

Solidarity, rage & prayers for the woman who was murdered. May she rest in power, may we honor her courage with our own. Solidarity to all who resist & all who are caught up in the belly of border violence. Abolish ICE, Abolish the border. GREATER EMPIRES HAVE FALLEN.

There is no "accountability", "oversight", or "training" that can redeem these ghoulish institutions. Death & violence are the intended outcomes, not system flaws.

ICE deliberately murdered a legal observer. They're killing people who dare to oppose neighbors being abducted & disappeared into internment camps & tortured in prisons. They want to demobilize folks with fear & violence. This is fascism, this is policing, this is state sanctioned violence.

Fighting for your freedom is both an inherent right and a duty.

If you want to organize - just start. You can engage in organized resistance, care work, community defense, mutual aid & crisis intervention without permission from anyone & with an imperfect set of tools. You can continue to read political theory & learn while you do, there is no perfect time.

It's possible to just do things. To just begin. It takes some people [who usually won't get paid], some ideas and a way to raise a small amount of money.

Jesus christ. The Birzeit University raid was over screening a movie about Hind Rajab?! Fucking monsters. www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-ea...

We can't accept the narrative that we need the US to act as planetary police. US "intervention" is always driven by its Imperial objectives rather than any defense of "human rights" or "democracy". Carceral logic is a profound crisis of the imagination, insidious at every level.

Listen to "X" community - yes but also some groups in diaspora are exiled from their homelands because they belong to an oppressive class of wealthy political elites. They fled when they could no longer benefit from the oppression of their own people.

People love to say "it's complicated" about places like Venezuela, Nigeria & Iran. What's certain is that no one's freedom came from US Invasion, bombs raining from the sky, theft of natural resources & sanctions that starve & kill your people.

This morning I am reading about Venezuela & Iran - US imperialism is sowing suffering in every corner of our planet.

Free up my people! Happy independence day to Sudan the great, Haiti the mighty - may we live to see freedom, justice & prosperity in our homelands.

The first day of the year is Sudan's independence day - it is also day 992 of the war. I am gutted for my people, a century of fighting for freedom from a co-conspiracy of oppressors. Nearly 1000 days of war is staggering. Tens of millions displaced, hundreds of thousands massacred. Free Sudan.

In case you need to hear it - don't let your toxic ex "merry Christmas" their way back to ruining your life.

It's almost the solstice, the light returns inevitability (even if it does so in installments). Here comes the sun.

Please stop boiling the planet just to make an AI video of you walking with your younger self. Please go heal your actual trauma & your inner child by interrupting the self-destructive patterns planted in you by the same architects of your sorrow.

I think that we are all underestimating how terrible the economy is going to be next year. A lot of the impact(s) of the horror bill will come on line in the next couple of years.

I don't know what to say.

If you're a white working class person, it's in your interest to remember that any power the state weaponizes against oppressed communities will inevitably turn on you. Detention, torture, deportation, police violence, surveillance, criminalization of dissent, defunding social infrastructure etc.

Me telling my niece that when I was younger I wasn't allowed to call my mother "she". My niece: Okay so what were here her pronouns?

It's always people fixing their mouths to say "What about x community? why don't you help them?" then immediately ghosting when you say "Yeah! we should, what are you doing about it?"

Every single time I post the contents of the care packages I make for my neighbors on the street, someone has something to say about the cigarettes I include. Smoking is bad for your health but you know what's worse for your health? BEING UNHOUSED. It reduces your life expectancy by 40%.

Folks on the streets have every right to food preferences & shelter preferences. I promise you they're experts on their own needs & what it takes to survive out there.

There is a deep desire to punish poor folks & amplify their suffering. Rooted in framing poverty as a moral failure or lack of work ethic. It helps the almost-poor feel further from life on the street than they actually are.

Anyone within the colonial borders of so-called Canada should know 16 year old Shidane Abukar Arone. Tortured, sexually assaulted & murdered by Canadian soldiers on his own homeland while he cried out "Canada!" While 80 more of them ignored his cries. THAT is the legacy of anti Somali racism.

In Ontario, the criminalization of Somali communities is used to justify increase police budgets & impunity for killer cops. Child apprehension & family policing, racism within the education & healthcare systems which acutely targets this community - in the name of public safety & counter terrorism.

The dehumanization of Somali people is part of the fabric of the imperial projects of both the US & Canada. Both of whom have an active & ongoing role in the destruction of Somalia & the displacement of it's people. Both of them actively criminalize, scapegoat & target Somali communities.

One of the littles in the Christmas Mutual Aid Drive asked me for an "autistic guitar". I've been kicking my feet giggling since.

Being able bodied is always a temporary privilege. Whether by age, illness, accident, climate catastrophe, or class exploitation- we will all become disabled. Disability justice is a struggle for liberation that frees and cares for all of us.

Sex work is work & like all labor under a capitalist system of stolen labor it's fraught with exploitation. All exploitative work is a matter of the body. It's not more dignified/moral to be used & disposed of doing underpaid factory, cleaning, or agricultural work - making billionaires richer.

Islam is a religion of justice. You either find that terrifying or deeply comforting and either way you're right.

A carceral relationship with the body is a reflection of white supremacist dominator culture. We have to reject the return to the nothing-tastes-as-good-as-skinny-feels era of disordered eating, fascist wellness trends & assigning individual blame for systemic conditions.
