Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Trump has ordered troops to Portland to fight residents who don’t like ICE deportations. There will be a mass protest response as the entire state sees this for what it is: a fascist military invasion.

Both Bookingcom and Airbnb have been flagged by authoritative institutions - including the UN Human Rights Council - and called on to end their complicity in war crimes.

A Drought Emergency Looms in Dawson Creek. Parched, the city has proposed piping water in, and ironically, selling it to the very fracking industry some say caused the problem. via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/09...

"these protesters have been met with increasing acts of brutality. Sometimes, the government’s repressive acts of violence are precipitated by the protesters’ efforts to block ICE vehicles. But often, the violence seems random or even recreational in nature."

Protests continue in #NYC against ICE raids.

My latest for @thenarwhal.ca takes a look at community level life with Canada’s first major LNG export plant.

Tens of thousands in 70+ communities across Canada took to the streets in an unprecedented & historic cross-movement mobilisation to #DrawtheLine and demand Mark Carney & the federal government pick a side: injustice, violence, and climate destruction — or a just and safe future for all of us.✊

Spain and Italy are sending warships to protect unarmed citizens bringing aid to the starving people of Gaza. Israel is a terror state engaged in deliberate mass starvation and killing of civilians. We need full sanctions. Full boycott and international action to end the genocide.

Exclusive: LNG Expansion Brings New Health Risks to Kitimat via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/09...

🔥 New study: LNG facilities flare *3x more gas* during start-up than regular operations — a phase that can last 2 years. But 🇨🇦 LNG projects don't include start-up flaring in environmental assessments. So regulators are vastly underestimating air pollution and health risks for nearby communities.

While Kneecap’s rise to prominence has clearly troubled the Liberal party, Vince Gasparro’s claim that the band glorifies terrorist organizations is an obvious smokescreen meant to divert the public’s attention from the band’s steadfast support of the Palestinian people. @enda-b.bsky.social writes.

Reading Refaat Alareer’s poem “If I must die” on his birthday today. Thank you @mosababutoha.bsky.social for reminding us of Refaat’s legacy

To honour Refaat al-Areer’s memory on his birthday today (September 23), I recorded myself reading his poem “If I Must Die”. Thank you for the suggestion, @mosababutoha.bsky.social.

The Canadian government has finally recognized Palestinian statehood. But this symbolic gesture comes far too little and far too late. As @desmondcole.bsky.social and El Jones discuss, Mark Carney and establishment media remain complicit in Israel’s genocide. breachmedia.ca/canada-shift...

Behind the sleek promises of AI is a thirst for water. Data centres consume huge amounts, straining supplies and fuelling clashes with farmers and Indigenous communities. In Canada, dozens of facilities are clustered near the Great Lakes, raising questions about how much more the ecosystem can bear.

I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is.

Red Chris mine (co-owned by the same company responsible for the Mount Polley disaster) has been fined a second time in less than three months, in addition to its years-long record of noncompliance. Yet Canada has fast-tracked its expansion as one of five "nation-building" projects.

“There is no comparable requirement for boys to confirm their gender,” said another parent. “Once again, the onus is placed on girls to be monitored and regulated, reinforcing the idea that female athletes are the ones who need to be verified.” edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Canada’s “elbows up” nationalism may look like resistance to Trump, but it risks repeating the colonial violence it claims to oppose. Ellen Gabriel and @seancarleton.bsky.social warn that patriotism built on erasing Indigenous struggles makes real reconciliation impossible.

In the almost two decade blockade of Gaza, there have been 38 attempts made to break the siege. This will be Greta Thunberg’s third attempt. There are a total of 46 boats with her this time. 🎤Interview to come … stay tuned.

Two police chiefs in Canada are on the boards of a pro-Israel advocacy charity. The president of the Canadian Association of Police is also listed, alongside business and political leaders. Experts and advocates are very concerned. My latest @readthemaple.bsky.social.

Today BC approved the Ksi Lisims fracked methane gas terminal, basically sacrificing BC children's right to a livable planet as it poisons the air, water & earth. Don't sell us out to a MAGA-backed corporation! Tell Premier Eby NO here: www.dogwoodbc.ca/petitions/eb... via @dogwoodbc.bsky.social

B.C. just approved one of its largest LNG projects yet. Ksi Lisims LNG will ship 12M tonnes of gas a year overseas. Ministers say it will benefit the Nisg̱a’a Nation — but also admit it will worsen greenhouse gas emissions. #bcpoli

Israel's military says its long-threatened ground offensive into Gaza City began overnight, with a goal of occupying and displacing remaining residents from the Gaza Strip's largest urban center. This comes after weeks of heavy bombardment that leveled many buildings still standing in Gaza City.

BC sends message that its children are expendable when it torches the earth & poisons the waters & air like this.
