compelling people to "choose" between existing in an unsafe space inside vs existing outside (also unsafe) is an act of coercion, the oppression of state violence that takes all your choices away.

that is how we got here. lets stop doing that.

I went down to check on what's happening on E. Hastings Street, where residents are worried about a leaked city plan to clear tents from the sidewalk.

Then I heard about an SRO being emptied. Sherry MacDonald has lived at the Cambie St. building for over 20 years. #DTES

[Emily Lazatin @EmilyLazatin]

Vancouver #DTES being cleared right now. Those one the streets are stuffing as much as they can into bins—I’ve seen tents and belongings thrown into garbage trucks—advocates calling it cruel and inhumane. No clashing so far. @GlobalBC

[Jen St. Denis @JenStDen]

Police have closed of Hastings from Carrall to Main to clear tents from the sidewalk #dtes

[PACE Society @PaceSociety]

This is no where for people to go.

[Michael Fitzpatrick @VanFitz]

Police are on the ground in the DTES, Hastings from Main to Columbia, tearing down the tents, refusing area residents access. Traffic cameras are offline and media are also excluded

CN. Another day, another police murder. Gratitude to the thoughtful soul who put up this impromptu memorial 🌹On February 10, 2023 the #VPD killed someone in distress on the Granville Street Bridge.

If she was strong enough to survive this — then white kids should be strong enough to learn about it in school. Agree? #BlackHistoryMonth

@sassjordan Also, I'm 52 now, so there's that lol

[Michael Fitzpatrick @VanFitz]

@sassjordan I think about this a lot - if I went back to childhood with all the knowledge I have now, I might never meet my daughter. I hit the absolute jackpot with this kid, and who knows what cosmic coincidences led her to be the person she is? I wouldn't risk it for anything

Wow - listening to this week's 60 Songs That Explain the 90s with @harvilla and being reminded of how important @depechemode have been to me and how much I still love them. Gonna go play "I Feel You" at top volume now...

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, I remember the six million Jews and millions of others who were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators, and honour the survivors.

Today and every day, we must be vigilant in the face of rising hate, antisemitism and xenophobia. #WeRemember
