These are Royal Canadian Mounted Police. RCMP were created to clear the land that is now Canada of Indigenous peoples and to secure it for occupation by white people, with extreme prejudice. Their entire history is consistent with that goal. But sports, I guess?

Every twice a year, Canada vaguely remembers that the Métis exist through the memory of our leader Louis Riel. And every time I wait for names like Anne Bannatyne, Sara Riel, Madeleine Wilkie Dumont, Marie Rose Delorme Smith, Victoria Belcourt Callihoo, Mary Duchesne and other women and 2spirit ppl

Reminds me of Charles Demers: “fuck that, you find a schnitzel truck and you get the fuck outta here!” youtu.be/424hqW6RyrY?...

Never doubt just how much of the amnesia is willful and how much effort goes into its maintenance. From OP's quoted article: "Britain’s prime minister, Keir Starmer, said the slave trade was abhorrent but countries should be “looking forward”..." 😒 www.theguardian.com/world/2015/j...

Whenever I tell people I specialise in Caribbean slavery, there will always be someone who says “but it’s such an uncomfortable and heavy topic!” Personally, the fact that thousands of UK adults are unaware of Britain’s role in the slave trade makes me feel uncomfortable. How disappointing.

Reminded of the very accurate Eric Williams quote, “British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it.”

holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

If CBSA refuses to explain why it thought a *95 YEAR OLD* retired Princeton law professor and UN special rapporteur might be a threat to national security, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree should

The lack of will or urgency to address this situation is just so disheartening: “Last summer, Kamloops council sent a pair of letters to the province”—and that’s it?? Shame on local government’s neglect of the most vulnerable.

I don't know how a family and children can face all that rain and cold with just a piece of plastic

This is a crucial bit about clandestine child graves at residential “schools”. FNMI communities who’ve become caretakers of the remains and memories of many thousands who died at residential “schools” owe us non-Indigenous Canadians NOTHING. It’s not about us or up to us.

Stop listening to people who can only tell you what “will never work”, and the only suggestions they have maintain the status quo in a different flavor. A new world is possible. It will not just require us to vote, protest, campaign, fundraise, and fight, it will require rediscovering imagination.

Good words on community solidarity and the lowliness of residential school denialism from @jamloops.bsky.social 🧡 cfjctoday.com/2025/11/14/p...

The climate summit has had failure built in since the start: 30 years of Saudi-led obstructionism happily supported by the US and other rich oil producers. A made-to-fail consensus-based model that’s just a veto for oil and gas profiteers. Corrupt to the core. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When you build fossil fuel projects in a climate crisis, you’re selling our future to enrich (mostly) US corporations. And when you build fossil fuel projects on Indigenous land BC, you’re literally doing it at RCMP gunpoint. None of this is sustainable.

While PM Carney’s fast-tracking initiative has been touted as a response to U.S. President Trump’s trade war, critics have pointed out the projects are largely backed by foreign-owned corporations — and include substantial U.S. investment. @amandafollett.bsky.social reports. #uspoli #canpoli #LNG

SHAME. The oil and gas industry has completely corrupted COP and climate action, with carbon-belching nations like Canada bringing along lobbyists and giving them a seat at the table. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Really struggled to raise for Fatma and her family yesterday. She’s been messaging me for help for months and has been so concerned about her parents and grandfather who she’s responsible for taking care of- if you have a little to help make things easier ❤️

This has been my understanding of the rules of patriarchy expressed through western/capitalist/global/elite culture, yes.

jfc this is really bad! Like much worse than merely unnecessarily expanding a planet-burning industry during a climate crisis— (I mean really good reporting with really bad findings, follow Rachel)

Very cool!

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Hello @support.bsky.team why has @sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended without explanation?????

A red flag of genocide.

"Students and faculty at the Islamic University of Gaza ... described in interviews how they kept studying throughout two years of genocide by charging their laptops with solar energy, watching recorded lectures, and meeting in improvised study groups."

They succeeded in making the world turn away from Gaza by announcing a ceasefire that Israel has not adhered to. It continues to kill, destroy, and block food and medicine. The war has not stopped; it has only become more brutal, as the victims are now in complete isolation.Do not forget my family 💔
