I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out. If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

The fact that Lockheed Martin’s stock rose since Feb 27th shows us that private companies trading weapons, mercenaries, airplanes etc are all increasing their profit margins as people from Sudan to Iran to Congo to Palestine are being murdered. Lockheed Martin is implicated in all four places.

Really necessary set of essay about this moment: www.jadaliyya.com/Details/47192

"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...

This piece was written by Truthout's editor-in-chief Negin Owliaei, a friend and colleague I greatly admire. "Trump may be an authoritarian, but he is not entirely invulnerable, nor are the elected officials who have given him pass after pass."

Updated figures are at 85 girls that the us killed today by bombing an elementary school. Another 15 people, including children killed by a us airstrike on a gym. But sure. Defend the people by destroying the state.

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.

If you’d like to understand history of the country that US and Israeli imperialists are waging an illegal and unjust war against check out @thedigradio.bsky.social five part series with Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi and Golnar Nikpour on the history of modern Iran www.thedigradio.com/History%20of...

the same night that the US decided to slaughter dozens of Iranian schoolgirls in an unprovoked regime change war, Sam Altman announced a deal with the US military to let them use OpenAI products to kill people

Canadian BDS activists just won a historic victory: Scotiabank, once the largest foreign shareholder in Israel’s biggest weapons manufacturer, has dropped all its shares in Elbit Systems. @desaima.bsky.social and Harrison Samphir report on the years-long pressure campaign that led to divestment.

I talked with my friend @shaneburley.bsky.social about Nick Fuentes' recent rant about putting women in gulags. How seriously should we take Fuentes, culturally and politically? And what does rhetoric like this reveal about the broader trajectory of the movement he’s trying to shape? We get into it.

Can 20 people join us today in donating to the Sameer Project for Ramadan? $8 provides a meal for a family, and $32 can pay for groceries. You can also donate more to fund a water truck or a water desalination plant. Pass this on, please. See their IG for details: www.instagram.com/p/DUq5PoSjkK0

I posted on *three platforms* just over *20 minutes* after Radio-Canada first misidentified this innocent trans woman as a mass shooter on national television in a 6:00pmET broadcast. I tagged Radio Canada and Patrice Roy. They didn't issue a correction until after 2:00pmET today. Unacceptable.

Toronto! This Thursday.

I suppose I also take this personally bc attacks on craftivism land poorly with me as a Native person. Beading together, making regalia, sewing in groups — this is at the heart of how the women on my reservation gather to do healing work, political ed, and mutual aid. This has long been true.

I talked with three Minneapolis organizers, including Andrew Fahlstrom and Susan Raffo, about community defense in Minneapolis, the social fabric of collective care under federal occupation, and how people around the country should be gearing up for the long struggle ahead. Audio + transcript:

“All artists are involved in their time.” Dionne Brand A Map to the Door of No Return

From the Toronto Star- not only do the Toronto Police not FIRE police who use the database to stalk women who won’t date them and violate the privacy of their exes and others, the only consequence is that they are docked pay. Cut their funds and divert the $ to women’s shelters.

theory of water on cbc ideas.

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...

I have a new chapter in the 2026 edition of Policing Black Lives on how police reform has expanded police power to surveil, monitor and criminalize Black communities for 70+ years now. Did you know in Canada community policing (first in parkdale, in Toronto ) has been a “reform” since the 1960s?

It’s perplexing that people in the US act shocked about stuff like this. Groups all over the planet have committed genocide against distant family, neighbors, and peoples who look just like them. Intracommunal violence sanctioned by the state and nonwhite people aiding white supremacy aren’t new.

Is there anything the U.S. could do to lose Canada's support on immigration? I asked @harshawalia.bsky.social about the Canada-U.S. immigration pact, enforcement north of the border, and lessons from the resistance to ICE in Minneapolis Our latest for @breachmedia.ca youtu.be/5zLUsjRHV90?...

Turns out that the publisher of the property law textbook I use, Thomson Reuters, "holds a contract worth up to $22 million (U.S.) that began in May 2021 to provide ICE with access to a law enforcement investigative database subscription". Welp, new book time... www.thestar.com/business/mor...

the AGO is a disgrace and it's not even my turf but come on

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition. We’ve also added a list of additional recommended reading:

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Wow!

Delicious to me

Read this entire thread. Good morning everyone

Since so many people are fangirling over Carney's supposed "historic" speech in Davos, I want to offer an alternative reading. This is not left cynicism, but a sober reading of imperial positioning in this moment. 1) Carney squarely positioned Canada as a middle power.

hey vancouver. january 29 @ 730. chan centre.

A project to dismantle ICE will be years in the making. This is because you will have opponents [not just in the fascist GOP but also in the Democratic party]. And that means that organizing campaigns will have to be strategic and they will always be subject to being undermined by purported "allies"

Folks in Canada watching this horror unfold should not think of it as an American problem. During a housing crisis, alarming food insecurity, and cuts to every meaningful social support at the federal and provincial level Canada is hiring more CBSA agents & increasing border & military spending.

Much as Adania Shibli was censored by the Frankfurt Book Fair, Randa Abdel-Fattah has been removed from the Adelaide Writers Festival. Her book is about silencing. We discuss at length the many ways, small & large, public & behind the scenes, Palestinian voices are silenced

1000 days ago we woke up to my then 3 year old asking me if I could turn that horrible sound (of gunshots and explosions) off, because it’s scary. My heart goes out to everyone, especially those parenting while surviving this war in Sudan and elsewhere. May it all end inshallah. Everywhere.
