we're fundraising for 3.5 months of living expenses for @kwardvancouver.bsky.social! & we just started a 24-hour match campaign with @harshawalia.bsky.social who will match up to $500! until THURS. MARCH 19TH AT 5:30PM PT. please send e-transfers directly to [email protected]

I feel shattered for generations of farmworker women whose contributions were not only largely unrecognized, but they had to witness the cult of personality develop around him. I feel heart broken for all survivors in movements who routinely metabolize violence to keep communities & movements alive

Evening of storytelling, poetry, food, fundraising & community. actionnetwork.org/events/livin...? This event commemorates Yom Al Ard يَوْم اَلْأَرْض (Palestinian Land Day). We hope the poetry shared and time spent together serve as a balm in the face of raging fascism and imperialism.

The BC Teachers Federation, the province wide labour union representing over 40,000 teachers, has just passed a resolution in support of BDS! The first province-wide motion to support BDS in solidarity with Palestine!!

Alleged murder of Masood Masjoody by two known iranian monarchists as well as killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar by Hindutva/India-aligned Bishnoi network should be alarming to everyone. What happens in so-called diasporas is a matter of global fascism, not siloed multicultural immigrant politics.

Congratulations to students who successfully passed AMS referendum calling on UBC Senate to cut ties with Israeli universities that uphold apartheid. It passed 8,894 in favour - highest voter turnout for any referendum item this election! UBC: Cut ties with apartheid! ubyssey.ca/news/referen...

Ford's call for injunction against Al-Quds Day rally in Toronto is totally unprecedented. Policing is, ofc, always exercise of policing power. But for provincial govt to seek injunction to shut down gathering before its even begun is wild. Liberal democracies are a sham. Palestine will be free.

Absolutely horrific. Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate. C-12 will become the country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees without hearings, retroactive bars, and mass status cancellation. A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.

Living Words Mon, March 30, Commemorating Yom Al Ard PWYC, suggested $20 -$40+. ALL funds to Gaza. Evening of multilingual poetry and cultural expression centering on land and resistance. We hope the poetry and time spent together serves as balm in face of raging fascism and imperialism.

Breaking: Liberal govt today voted down No More Loopholes Act, legislation that would have closed major loophole that allows Canadian military exports to reach Israel through US. This loophole has connected Canada to ICE operations, Israeli genocide, and US attack on Venezuela. Arms Embargo Now!

It's day 2 of 48-hour flash matching fundraiser i'm running to support Migrant Workers Action in Lebanon With renewed escalation by Zionist entity, domestic migrant workers (undocumented or under Kafala) are among most displaced & vulnerable. Goal is 6K by weekend, just $800 away. contribute/share

Weaving our Worlds has compiled resources and diverse left perspectives from and on Iran. Rather than reduce Iran to various intra-left ideological debates, these provide analysis based in the context, specificity and history. www.weavingourworlds.ca/iran-resourc...

Canada’s defence chief says Canada and allies will possibly help Gulf states "defend themselves against bombing from Iran," and CAF would be presenting recommendation to govt. Don't forget Canada has just made one of largest ever investments in CAF - $80+ billion. www.ctvnews.ca/world/mideas...

We knew RCMP's CRU was on campuses across BC (we saw them), but turns out it wasn't just enforcement "CRU was sharing intel with local police and provincial government, preparing to clear encampments, and advising universities on how they might punish protesters." breachmedia.ca/a-notorious-...

It is horrific that Palestinian students from Gaza, admitted to Canadian universities, are not being granted student visas to Canada. Amidst an ongoing genocide and occupation, denying Palestinian students is continuation of same violence and anti-Palestinian racism. truthout.org/articles/can...

Too many people think that the current aggressions of US-Israel is a conspiracy to "distract from Epstein files." Waging sadistic wars is actually proof of - not a distraction from - Epstein files. Imperial violence is inseperable from sexual violence: organized, systemic crimes against humanity.

"point is not that debates do not matter, but that they should be organized around meaningful goals, anchored to specific conjunctures, based in actual terrains of struggle, related to concrete organizing efforts on the ground, and oriented towards building power" www.versobooks.com/en-ca/blogs/...

Being older can really be a curse when you remember the past. You KNOW what happened before when a lot of people simply do not have those memories or experiences.

Unless you are in echo chamber, yr movement spaces (like mine) are likely imploding "Solidarity is not grounded in identical analysis, synchronized outrage, or emotional unanimity. Solidarity is disciplined commitment to remain in relation under conditions that continually threaten relation itself"

Truly dystopic. "we are witnessing the fullest expression of the most inhumane weapons of the century: Autonomous bombs and missiles. Their “autonomy” refers to fact that humans need not be in the loop in any meaningful way when deciding where to target or whether to launch such weapons."

"It is highly likely that members of Canadian military, on exchange with the US, were involved in planning and co-ordinating of airstrikes on Iran. It is long-standing policy to have Canadian service members participate in exchanges with US Central Command." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Thinking aboutt migrants - in UAE and GCC countries. So far those killed in the UAE are Pakistani, Nepali, Bangladeshi. every year, about 10,000 migrant workers die in gcc. Thinking about refugees in Pakistan w/ border escalation & war with Afghanistan. Already, 20% of global refugees are Afghan.

May the palaces of UAE shatter - shaped from stolen Sudanese gold, relying on exploited and beaten migrant labourers, built on the betrayal of normalization, and marketed for the gluttonous global elite who will quickly abandon Emirati capital as quickly as they evacuated Burj Khalifa today.

To everyone who cheerleaded Carney's faux speech in Davos & posturing as independent middle power - His atrocious statement today backing US-Israeli attacks on Iran make clear that he & Canada are firmly aligned with dominant imperial interests. And he did so while shaking hands with Modi in India

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

Essential, e.g. @harshawalia.bsky.social: "The entire construction of the disaffected white working class comes from Europe and North America, so doesn’t hold in most other places ... [it's] a construction of the settler colonial and or ethnostate that presupposes ... whiteness." #Fascism #FarRight

Simply no better person to talk to about migration than @harshawalia.bsky.social. This one is vital.

On a new ⚽THE END OF SPORT⚽ @harshawalia.bsky.social joins the show to talk about the intricate connections between migration, racial capitalism, and the role of sports mega events in normalizing surveillance and militarization. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/u...

"Understanding how the criminal legal system and immigration enforcement have been braided together is essential. So is understanding the central but often overlooked role of sheriffs’ departments and the political economy of rural areas as bulwarks of the carceral and deportation state"

Appreciate this piece as younger generations are both targeted and also making the path "Children are not figures of innocence for political rhetoric, or ​“bait” for federal agents to use in hunting down parents. Young people are not just a part of our struggles, but at the forefront of them."

Since declaring war in the Caribbean Sea & Pacific Ocean, US has killed at least 145 people in lethal strikes on boats. These never-ending & interchangeable wars (war on drugs, war on terror, and war on migrants) by US Southern Command no longer even have to specify what org they are targeting!

"Israeli military says more than 1,500 Canadians were serving in IOF ranks last year" This is enraging. Canada is listed as one of top ten countries of dual nationals in the IOF (after US, France, Germany) Not only is Canada arming Zionist enemy, Canadians are authorized to commit genocide in Gaza

“Canada is not a benevolent nation-state,” @harshawalia.bsky.social says. It is an imperial power. Canadian mining interests, arms transfers, and foreign policy – including in places like Palestine – have historically and continue to produce displacement and deprivation elsewhere in the world.” 🔥🔥🔥

Canadian companies are arming Israel's genocide in Gaza, Trump's illegal wars, and ICE raids. The U.S. Loophole means 60% of Canadian arms exports — those that go to US — are exempted from oversight or permitting. Canada must cut off this unregulated flow of arms by passing No More Loopholes Act

Nine rescue NGOs have condemned Italy’s new immigration bill, accusing the government of trying to restrict humanitarian sea rescue operations. They say the measures are part of a broader strategy to limit NGO activity in the Mediterranean. www.infomigrants.net/en/post/6987...

Organizing against borders can seem utopic, but there are many concrete fights: 1 Mutual aid networks 2 Rapid Response actions 3 Stopping PIC construction & budget fights 4 Ending agreements w/ local enforcement 5 Non cooperation of public institutions (hospitals etc) w/ immigration 6 Status 4 All

As Israel demands demilitarisation in Gaza as price of reconstruction, Palestinians are forced to choose between biological survival and survival of their national cause Disarmament demands are aimed to finish ethnic cleansing. www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/why-...

Incredible victory! After years of organizing across Canada, Scotia Bank has divested from Elbit Systems! Elbit is Israel's largest weapons company, arming the occupation and genocide of Palestine. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

So incredibly honored & humbled to be in conversation with @silkys13.bsky.social & @harshawalia.bsky.social tomorrow night for a @haymarketbooks.org discussion on abolition, fighting "crisis at the border" rhetoric/federal occupation with insurgent care & what this moment demands of us/our movements

TONIGHT Death Panel x @haymarketbooks.org present ABOLISH ICE, ABOLISH THE BORDER Harsha Walia @harshawalia.bsky.social Silky Shah @silkys13.bsky.social Beatrice Adler-Bolton @reallandsend.bsky.social 7pm EST, register free here: www.haymarketbooks.org/events/778-a...

This discussion is a fierce analysis of the present moment: the historical context of right now and the possible futures we’re fighting — and fighting for I especially urge drug policy advocates to read this. When governments make harmful policy, don’t just say ‘politics’ its fascist politics

Abolish ICE, Abolish the Border Join @harshawalia.bsky.social, @silkys13.bsky.social, & @reallandsend.bsky.social of @deathpanel.bsky.social for a discussion on the brutal enforcement of immigration policing in Minneapolis and beyond. Thursday at 7 PM ET events.haymarketbooks.org/events/hayma...

"There is a blood trauma here, seeing masked federal agents walking down our streets waiting to pick people up,” - Mary LaGarde of American Indian Center in Minneapolis. At least two of her relatives have been stopped and questioned by immigration agents. truthout.org/articles/ind...

“The rise of fascistic tendencies has shifted from that sense of a nostalgic past to contending with the misery of the present and also, importantly, an unknown misery into the future. There is no sense that things are getting better.”

you need this

Yes!! Six Palestine Action activists, Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Fatema Rajwani, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin, have been cleared of all charges over a break-in at Elbit. Free the Filton 24! Shut down Elbit! Lift the ban on Pal Action! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

'I also think that at a fundamental level, transforming ourselves and fighting against fascism is understanding that we don’t need to be afraid of each other. That’s fundamentally what fascism is trying to embed in all of us – fear of others.' @harshawalia.bsky.social www.tni.org/en/article/l...

"Out of that meeting, the Cedar Riverside Protection Alliance was born: a rapid response network of Somali youth whose devotion to each other and the place they call home outweighed their fears." truthout.org/articles/som...

i had imposter syndrome trying to talk about fascism alongside Alberto Toscano, but i'm glad i did coz it was an incredibly generative conversation that helped distill & crystallize my own thoughts about fascism worldwide today & it's differentiations from the past. www.tni.org/en/article/l...

Fascism doesn’t rise by accident: it’s organised through capitalism, fear, and targeted wars on migrants, drugs, and people in poverty. Read our State of Power 2026 opening interview with @harshawalia.bsky.social and Alberto Toscano. www.tni.org/en/article/l...
