Please email your councillor, the mayor, and clerks halifax and ask them to immediately open up a warming centre with no barriers and open to anyone. a list of emails in the following thread.

Who can plan? And in what ways? People should know that the city of Halifax @hfxgov.bsky.social did not open any warming centres this weekend. We are getting arctic winds, and an incoming snowstorm. It's cold enough out there to kill people experiencing homelessness. 1/4

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.

The Israeli uprooted 10,000 olive trees in al-Mughayyir during a three-day siege of the Palestinian village. The Israeli army said uprooting the trees was meant to "deter" village residents and make them "pay a heavy price." mondoweiss.net/2025/08/isra... #Palestine #Israel

“At this point it's become impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Reuters given its role in justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza. I owe my colleagues in Palestine at least this much, and so much more.” - Valerie Zink

If you take prescription pills, check if they are made by Teva. I just learned that one of my prescriptions is made in occupied Palestine by an izraeli company. You can ask your pharmacist about switching to a different manufacturer! #BoycottTeva share.google/6n5whAIn8P74...

One of many thoughts on these fires. It doesn't have to be this way.

$1568 remaining!! This is a super urgent request from a community member that is due today. $5, $10, $20 goes a long way!

Recognizing the state of Palestine under their conditions, is the new calling for a ceasefire under their conditions. Moved on from the later pretty quickly, because it was always deceitful.

A Palestinian state, with no right of return, disarmed, recognized by the same nations aiding and abetting the genocide of Palestinians and theft of their land, is only a tool of colonization, imperialism, and repression of dissent.

Ultimately, this is murder. The services and care for people who use substances have to be protected and expanded!!! This province is aligning with the national trend to criminalize and disappear substance users into forced 'treatment' or jail or death. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

No Cop City, No Cop World is officially out today :) it was a massive collective effort, not to give a definitive account of a movement that could never be fully captured in a book, but to document tactics tried, lessons learned, & successes & failures. Order supports @workshops4gaza.bsky.social:

Hey :) if you can please consider sending funds and sharing with your networks!!

Hi! Some news––our book on the Stop Cop City movement is coming out in ONE MONTH!! It features organizers, political prisoners, abolitionists, anarchists, neighbors, educators, students, media, art & more. It’d mean the world to me if you share/pre-order! bookshop.org/p/books/no-c...

Always so important to remember that the only people counted are the ones through the health ministry the ustreal repeatedly targets and depleats. Glory to the martyrs. Free Palestine.

The ICJ granted the zionist state 6 month extension to present a defense against South Africa's case. 6 more months to commit genocide with less UN scrutiny. The ICJ has no teeth & doesn't give a fck about Palestinians. International law is here to facilitate western genocides. t.co/OiIryu9rvD

I don't believe this has anything to do with the safety or care for these people, but everything to do w/ the amount of attn & backlash the gov is getting from these kidnapping/human trafficking (deportations) cases & trying to quell mass dissent & outrage. Pls see past this decision. Stay critical.

Second email this month from public health (via HRCE) about measles. Check your vaccination records folks, make sure you and your kids are up to date with your shots

Do you hate Nazis? Are you mad about the nazi rally in Dartmouth last weekend? Come hang with us on Sunday & let them know they aren’t welcome in K’jipuktuk!

Currently reading this haunting and beautifully written book by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social that, through devastating storytelling, illustrates a basic point: “Families are not ‘falling’ into homelessness. They’re being pushed.” Find it here: bookshop.org/p/books/ther...

If city council/planners actually planned for affordability, they’d ban mansions, not apartments. They’d have lot size maximums, not lot size minimums. They’d have higher fees per sq ft of mansion, not apartments. They’d charge the rich in mansions more, not everyone else in apartments.

MetroWorks (provincially funded) filed for bankruptcy less than 3 weeks ago

HRM has no problem with $603,000 for a tank they know is not needed, but $682,000 for justFOOD program passed with a tie. Pathetic to watch them try so hard to undermine the already low food security people have. Happy the justFOOD program is going ahead.

Glory to the martyrs. Thank you for everything, Hossam Shbat & Mohammad Mansour. Every journalist who turned away from Palestine to protect their bottomless ignorance & 'respectability' to a genocidal system are complicit in their murder. Long live the resistance. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸🕊️

lol acab

A Councillor saying “I heard from hundreds of residents that were against this purchase. No one reached out in favour of this purchase,” and then vote to buy the cops their tank anyway gives one a comforting reassurance that Council is pretty much unchanging, regardless who fills the chairs.

There is still time tonight to email the mayor, clerks, & the councillors, tell them not to throw money away on a tank the police have never & will never need. Tell them to find the youth advocate program, justfood act, the additional firefighters + updated PPE, & community mediation pilot program!

The Community Mediation Pilot, Youth Advocate, and JustFOOD programs fill critical gaps in safety, food security, and youth support - urging council to reimagine ‘safety’ by addressing root causes of “crime”, not funding violent punishment. 10/11

Additionally, following repeated requests from Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency for a cancer screening program and criticism from the public upon the initial objection of this request, council has backtracked its decision and unanimously passed a motion to develop this program by Jan. 2026 6/11

If you haven’t yet, please take a moment to sign the ECPJS petition for an immediate moratorium on Police response to Mental health calls. 5/11

@andyfillmorehfx.bsky.social what is wrong with you?

In the past two weeks 5 people from the south riverdale community here in Toronto have overdosed and died. That’s only who we know. Some neighbours, columnists, politicians rallied to close supervised consumption sites & safe supply -our communities not theirs are dying en masse. I feel 💔.

No oversight. No accountability. No transparency. No straight answers. We’re not taking the “no” out of Nova Scotia. We live by it. And we gaslight the shit out of everyone when telling them otherwise. #nspoli

All this means is that a tiny bit of his authoritarian soul worries about what other people think of him. Rest assured, over the next 5 years that tiny piece of self-awareness will be expelled. Power is an addictive drug.

This older article is a needed reminder: wrongly linking (any) violence to mental health is dangerous. My heart is heavy with all the news in Halifax rn—it’s heartbreaking. But seeing uninformed calls to lock up people with mental health issues only adds to the fear and sadness. So please stop. 💔

May this 25 yr old man rest in peace. 💔 What actually happened!?!? A taser for a mental health call is disgusting. "A taser was deployed" and he was "aggressive", this language to try & remove police violence and make the police the victim is unacceptable and demeaning. 1/

The best 30 seconds 💓😂

Right now, for a lot of Canadians the temptation is to ignore Indigenous people because the threats from the US seem way more important. This turn to fervent and ignorant nationalism is a mistake. Don't alienate the people who know more about your "country" than you do. Find common cause instead.

"Houston said his government would not allow special interest groups & "professional protesters" [?] to hold back efforts to expand the province's economy." Ok, he'll just let special interest groups, corporations destroy our environment for economy bs. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Happening this eve!! Gallery opening and art sale with sales going to a Gazan family.

So the Swiss gov decided it was worth all this bs terrorizing @aliabunimah.bsky.social? Hold him hostage for 2 days so he couldn't speak on a panel. Deport him.. holy fck. There is so much power in the truth & so much value in those we learn from, who speak it. electronicintifada.net/content/swit...
