For our latest, @ElJonesPoet attended the opening of the Nakba exhibit at the human rights museum in Winnipeg, and collected stories from Palestinians who were there to take it in. Please read and share this excellent piece https://t.co/sM555Zf0Q4

sentencing is happening now and 5 of the defendants have received 50 year sentences. chilling and should be a huge story

16 Montreal police officers are under investigation for keeping the locs of apprehended Black men as trophies. No, this isn't the U.S. It's Canada. The depths of racism never cease to shock, turning human beings into targets and their identities into souvenirs.

Signal & major VPN providers are warning they will discontinue in Canada if forced to comply with controversial surveillance Bill C-22.

C-22 would hugely weaken users’ security & privacy by collecting metadata about their users.

Act to stop Bill C-22:

🚨BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court kneecapped the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the landmark civil rights law that restricted racial gerrymandering and racial discrimination in voting for more than fifty years. https://t.co/mahAmwRRYN

Black people in New Orleans and Baton Rouge will no longer have the representation we’ve had in Congress. This is white supremacy

Please don't forget that the only difference between you and a disabled person is time. Even if the disability is temporary, it will happen in your lifetime. Disability is part of the human condition. Advocating for disability rights is advocating for your inevitable future.

Every infected participant in the challenge study (all young and healthy people) still had significant cognitive deficits a year later at the end of the study period, even if the participants themselves couldn’t detect their deficits.

Now extrapolate…

I actually dont care if he saved puppies from a burning house while curing cancer in a steel mill.

You do NOT have to be a “good person” for it to still be WRONG for the police to kill unarmed people. I’m NOT going to play into that

Empty car sitting at the intersection of 35th and Pillsbury with its flashers on.

There are these ghost cars all over Minneapolis right now from ICE snatching people out of their vehicle in the middle of the street.

[lainie @youngneandrthal]

important to articulate that ice has BEEN killing immigrants (documented and not) and people of color. white working class US-born citizens being killed is a wake up call for a lot of people about the lengths ice will go to but we need to oppose ALL of the violence they enact.

[Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter]

"If ICE’s expansion plans are realized, the immigration detention system will triple in size — detaining 120,000-150,000 people at any given time, mirroring the scale of Japanese American internment during WWII."

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

The guy who killed Renee Good was a ten year ICE veteran who had been thoroughly “trained” by the US military, border patrol and ICE and Good’s murder was captured on three different cameras so what does any of this have to do with anything

[Dan Sheehan @danpjsheehan]

A reminder that genocide is about more than just mass slaughter.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collective survival. She named the connective tissue that holds us together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast & often.

They will insist that this is a
one-off victory — something that can only happen in New York
& nowhere else.

They’re wrong.

New York is the home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe.

If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.
