"B.C. Conservatives are again dealing with controversial comments perpetuating residential school denialism." Lindsay Shepherd "was a board member when a young group of political organizers were reshaping the party to be a more hard-right, populist choice." #BritishColumbia #Canada #Genocide

I've seen three posts today about how hard it's been to stop using ableist words like "dumb", or "stupid", & I can relate- I still slip up in private a lot One way I remind myself to do better is by remembering that those words were popularized by eugenicists & fascists We don't need their tools.

The last federally run residential school closed in 1997, but traces of the system are everywhere on the land. How to commemorate the dark, painful history of these places? Across Canada, survivors are taking the lead: thenarwhal.ca/truth-reconc...

We were not as heavily targeted in my institution (they tried to bill students for damage to the lawn, but deportation was not on the recriminatory to-do list) but for me, it was how incredibly few faculty at a very blue uni in a very blue state ever showed up in word or person.

Say his name: Yahya Barzaq, one of the 275+ journalists killed in Gaza. He was known as one of the most prominent photojournalists still alive in Gaza. Prior to the genocide, he was known for gently photographing newborn babies.

Quality time to some 📷🕊️ ….

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

Literally just watched my 'Like' vanish from 2 posts I liked bc I paused scrolling and had click in to relike both... Wtf?

THEREFORE, I am now more urgently than ever seeking leads on work and safe, stable housing. Happy to relocate!

BlueSky lagging a ton for anyone else? I’m having likes disappear a second after I place them, over and over. It’s infuriating.

Soad’s account was suspended on her birthday, isolating her from the outside world 😓 Right now she is saving for a better housing situation. Her 3yo, Omar, is too sick to endure winter in the elements. Please send her some birthday love 💕 every bit helps. tinyurl.com/ycxdtddx

$300 is not difficult to bandage my kids wounds and wipe their tears that fall because of hunger and shelter. Do not let them collapse. They love you. Take them with you. Do not leave them hungry and without shelter. They are waiting for you Im verified by @mommunism.bsky.social shorturl.at/hcCSb

I’m Sakher, and I’m writing this with a heart full of pain This war stole everything from me My house is rubble My dreams are dust My soul is tired Every day I wake up in a torn tent, under the burning sun or freezing wind, wondering if I’ll make it to tomorrow More in the comment gofund.me/f116bf44

A child searches through the dirt to collect scattered remnants of flour from the ground. A heartbreaking scene that reflects the hunger and deprivation endured by the people in Gaza. #gaza #palestine

I fucking hate this party so much. Everything we're experiencing right now is their fault because they're occupying the entire space for opposition to fascism with their "racism and white privilege but less vulgar" bullshit. Dismantle this party or we'll continue into the abyss

The dance of titans has started in the North Atlantic with hurricane Imelda and hurricane Humberto 🧵!

I've had this hat for 20+ years. It's made of coconut fiber. When it got wet and deflated like that I put a box on top of it for a week on the table, now it's flat again.

An airstrike hit just meters from us. We saw the dust before the blast, heard the screams before we knew who survived. Our hearts stopped… then fear returned. No safety, no shelter — just waiting for the unknown.💔💔💔💔🪫 #gaza #help #donate

If you see this, repost with a game that released the year you were born. Crazy that I was born in one of the most influential years in gaming history

Made a quick doodle at work. 4 pens, 15 minutes, and an idea that's been bouncing around in my head for months later and I made this. It's based off of Worthikids's song "When Did My Hair Get So Long" and his take on the Hatbox ghost

On this Truth and Reconciliation Day, I spoke with my dear friend Mskwaasin Agnew, outreach worker and harm reduction practitioner (Cree/Dene, Salt River First Nation), whose grandfather is a residential school survivor, and is on the way to Gaza onboard the Conscience boat…

The indigenous folks that have never stopped making life hard for ICE, are at the frontline of Portland’s fight for humanity and Mayonnaise Mike is here telling folks to “just stay home and ignore the whole thing” and it makes me want to scream!

Imagine living in an apartment and knowing that your building had to sign a good-neighbor agreement with the surrounding house owners because the presumption is that you don't belong there and will be a problem for them.

if we're doing good-neighbor agreements for housing, how about doing them for rich people who move into non-rich areas and start complaining about the culture and character of the neighborhood they moved into

You just don’t have a right to anything that comes from the destruction or subjugation of another human being

I have a feeling the disdain is not actually about the human rights, somehow, as I never saw anyone mad last week about Kimmel taking Disney's money or Pedro Pascal for being in the israeli zombie TV show based literally on dehumanizing Palestinians

Hey can someone tell me the difference between the Riyadh Comedy Festival and the White House Correspondents' Dinner besides the much higher death toll of the attendees of the latter? Asking for a friend

Israeli soldiers were filmed detaining two Palestinian children in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, while demanding to know their father’s whereabouts. When a passerby intervened and urged their release because of their young age, a soldier replied, “I don’t care”.

A wind came. It blew across the land.

Today is National Day of Remembrance. We mourn our ancestors who died in the Indian Boarding Schools during the U.S. government's means to assimilate my people then. It remains a difficult day for us especially given the historic traumas we still endure to this day. #EveryChildMatters

Damn I sure hope folks aren't coming to ChatGPT with their liberation questions & their activism. Having a convo with the po po right on the other end.

Every single W2 job I've ever had required me to hire a notary and PROVE I am who I claim. Why? because my "birth certificate" (even the one I ordered & received from the fucking State) is just a sad, pathetic photocopied piece of paper and CLEARLY fake as hell. 😂💀
