The caste system demonstrates that while #hierarchy existed before European contact, #colonial #capitalism globalized and biologized these divisions.

#Indigeneity itself isn’t #race, it currently exists as one because of the systems imposed upon it.

The problem isn’t simple. Some critique #Pretendian hunting as #purity policing correctly, but others use it to attack, divide, or muddy the waters. Without addressing the systemic roots of #fraud and #commodification, the conversation itself risks perpetuating harm.

I will mostly judge you based on your relationship to #capitalism to #colonialism, to #aparteid .

"This protest has been successful beyond anything I honestly could have ever imagined" - Tomas www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Yz...

The #t.swift discourse is running rampant. I question why anyone has seen her as more than a #basicwhite person with #neoliberal if not bordering #altright pipeline perspectives. #eattherich

Turning Point USA deliberately stokes violence and radicalism. Charlie Kirk died on a pyre he built for others.

Everyone agrees #Pretendianism causes harm. Everyone agrees community accountability is necessary. But because the system that should be handling this (#sovereign #Indigenous governance) was undermined, we’re left with people enforcing colonial-style purity policing and exclusion instead.

There is a word in #truthandreconciliation, and that specifically is #TRUTH. Which I believe most cannot even process. Truth must come before reconciliation.

Phone dump.

The #hypocrisy of my hometown celebrating alcohol (wine) 🍷 every year on the back of #migrants and having #kids be (parades etc.) be the center focus for alcohol, but then also criminalizing "illicit drug use". #Niagara #grapeandwinefestival

What does ibuprofen cause?

Over a million Americans have died from COVID—probably in the realm of 1.5m. Millions more suffer long COVID. Misinformation kills and disables. It’s not an abstract thing. It’s got a real, devastating toll.

Phone dump.

If people want to suggest "freedom from consequences" in relation to #latenight, there actually has to be a reason for the consequences.

Wait they chased off an ICE raid in WHEATON?????????? WHAT???????????????????????????? For people who don't know Chicago imagine like Brigham Young or Liberty University chasing off an ICE raid this is fucking WILD Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

There is a lot other #media outlets out there not controlled by the #FCC or cable TV. Hope more people will go #indie.

Clips of C.K. defending #LGBTQ+ or anyone else are often cherry-picked. He was consistently contradictory for sound bites. #propaganda #martyr

#Shelter isn't #housing.

#TPUSA & C.K. has a history of softening rhetoric to recruit students. Context matters. This is strategic #propaganda

Insisting that individuals ‘speak kindly’ about someone who fundamentally disagreed with or harmed them is not professionalism, it’s moral theater.

Israel’s military launched its ground assault on Monday “to occupy Gaza City,” killing at least 62 Palestinians, most of them in the city, according to Axios and the Wafa news agency. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/k3tiwn pic.x.com/GeRMd5IGJO

Expecting #professionals to avoid critique out of fear of appearances does not foster trust. It fosters silence and #conformity.

Public trust is not preserved by sanitizing or suppressing perspectives but by allowing open dialogue where honesty and respect can coexist.

True #professionalism should include integrity, courage, and honesty, even when difficult.

Just a reminder that TP & CK tailored themselves to meet the mainstream #conservatives. This is why he wasn't "right" enough for many people. He loved straddling the lines.

You don't say.

There's a hate campaign against #Niagara Region Councillor Haley Bateman, a queer woman, just for distancing herself from sympathy for someone who openly hated people like her. But so far no public support from fellow Councillors, including who publicly champion causes of women and 2SLGBTQQIA+.

The man laundered hate through “debate.”, and made it palatable for even moderate Conservatives.

By sanitizing extremist rhetoric, he made white nationalist ideas palatable for mainstream #conservatives. Esp. the ones now advocating for him after his death.

Kirk built his brand as a right-wing #dogwhistle. He never said the quiet part out loud, & when people did he would reverse tactics or clean house.

Phone dump.

Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus

My thoughts on the events of today.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

#Breaking: Players acquitted in Hockey Canada sex assault trial can return to NHL on Dec. 1

For the record, I'm fine with my enemies not mourning me. 😗

I think they should engrave this specific quote of his on his memorial. 😗

"Tough on crime" i.e. bail reform, longer sentence, more cops doesn''t work. Politicians and (other!) right-wingers are using fear and spreading misinformation to get more power. Vigilante mob justice just gives more power to those who are already abusing and misuing it.

So now #conservatives are afraid of #freespeech 🤔 sounds kinda #woke & a tad overemotional to me.

The council is made up of seven First Nation, two Métis and two Inuit representatives.

Posting this for no particular reason but to boost your morale today. #motivation

How long before someone tries to blame Trans folk for the #CharlieKirk assassination? 🕖

Been a little while. #phonedump
