I was going to say "and the government" but that is the same thing.

Landlords are the reason so many people hate Ottawa.

I think you should be able to write "haha!" in an academic paper or at least have some other kind of tone indicator

Wait - a nuanced, historically-rooted, anti-colonial reflection of St. Patrick's Day? You mean this was possible all along? Huh.

🚨‼️🔔May 16th - the largest gathering of anarchists in North America!

just learned there are more homeless people in ottawa than there are in the country of finland

People don't actually care whether the bombs being dropped on them have been authorized by Congress or not.

Kansas threatens to jail trans people who don’t surrender ID cards ➡️ https://bit.ly/4l50Jyc 📷 Envato

uh with the total siege on gaza... you know what to do #ConnectingGaza

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE it will result in dead trans people and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing you see the pipeline right? we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

cw suicide, anti-Blackness, lynching etc posting this with my friend's permission the other day, after being missing for a few days, police in Georgia found my friend's cousin's body in a park hanging from a tree. his name was Kyle Bassinga.

chuffed.org/project/crip... this is my regular reminder that we are still here and working to stay out of the red. Celebrate and honor Ramadan by considering spreading the word and donating to us. Let Gaza communications ring freely. You can't stop the signal.

The killings add to the death toll of 591 since October 10 'ceasefire' that Israel has violated more than 1,600 times https://aje.news/9jai4p

No, they cannot be reformed.

We're officially fundraising for laid-off Vox workers. Please share and donate if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/support-la...

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked. When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

I have a lot to say about how disgustingly performative and classist the politicians from the "Community Conversation On Homelessness" at Knox Presbyterian Church was tonight. Yasir Naqvi obviously, but Catherine McKenney said encampments should be eradicated. ERADICATED.

I remember hearing about his story last year. A travesty. www.11alive.com/article/news...

Reminder that if you're arrested in Illinois for protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

A FOOD

I think they should outlaw corporal punishment.

When people say "Raise The Rates" of welfare income: it is not that we just don't think regular inflation boosts aren't enough. It's that inflation boosts DON'T EXIST. OW is the SAME number it has been since 2018. That is a death sentence.

I think also, that people need to understand that welfare has not increased. Maybe you get a raise with inflation every year, idk. OW hasn't had a single increase since 2018. (When it was raised by $33 LMAO.) Not for inflation. Not even by cents. It has been the same number with NO adjustments.

if I say a t-shirt shouldn't cost $60 and you tell me that's a "fair price" I'm going to need to demand proof your workers are unionized and paid a living wage. I think too many people are taking advantage in acknowledging people deserve better pay by increasing prices w/o action.

Houston Texans’ Azeez Al-Shaair has reportedly been fined $11,593 for wearing eye black that contained the message "stop the genocide” The report says he was fined for violating NFL uniform and equipment rules www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one. It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Less than $15k from the goal!

people will complain about vocal fry in people whose voices are actively dropping on T right now try not to take these shallow criticisms seriously. the things you say matter more to me than the way you say them.

The everyday courage of normal people is breathtaking

It's pretty telling to me that Ariel Troster's newsletter indicates she's meeting with shelter staff, not actually unhoused people, about the lack of warming centres. You may as well ask prison guards how prisoners are doing.

sometimes it is 3am and you're learning about the migration of monarch butterflies again and you cry in awe. of what a beautiful place we live in, this planet, what an honour it is to continue to be alive

Watching people “discover” environmental racism, and then double down on doing it has been depressing.

Mutual aid and charity are not the same thing and I think that people's mass confusion about this has come at the cost of a lot of opportunities for genuine community building.

"don't use AI! because it's REAL bad*" *unless it's funny??** **NO! STILL DON'T!!

that is an entirely different thing

The Greek anarchist group Revolutionary Struggle was added to the FTO list in 2009 by Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Another Greek anarchist group, Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, was added in 2011, five years before Trump's first election.

Just a note that menstrual products are the most requested / least donated items in food pantries so if you have the means to pick up supplies perhaps consider it

Mar helped keep me alive earlier this year by helping support me when I was starving. She's an absolute sweetheart who's does so much for others, and she's incredibly important to me. Please consider supporting her if you can. 💜

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

cops give people such a learned helplessness. like people will say they "aren't doing enough" around something or other or that they are "incompetent" (these are folks who aren't abolitionists but *maybe* think defund). but do you not think you could ask someone who actually cares about you for help

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

I don't think discord servers should be doing @ everyone announcements more than once a week. I also don't think you need to be making them just because there's a new moderator. Like if you want to put that in the announcements channel that's grand. But I don't need to be tagged
