Just an fyi from your local auntie:

Michif = ONLY Franco-Métis people who speak Michif or whose Ancestors spoke Michif (if you are Anglo-Métis you do not call yourself Michif)

Halfbreed/Bungii: Anglo-Métis who speak Bungii or whose Ancestors spoke Bungii. Can also mean …/1

This is my dear niece Sierra.
Last night she had her car broken into in London, ON and had two sets of regalia stolen.
Regalia is costly to create, but literally priceless to the dancer.
If you see these dresses or beadwork out there please contact London Police.🫶🏽❤️ #LdnOnt

The Long War on Gaza - by preeminent acadamic/Gaza researcher & expert Professor Sara Roy

"Over fifty-six years, Israel has transformed Gaza from a functional economy to a dysfunctional one, from a productive society to an impoverished one."

Why 'Day After' talk is just a distraction to avoid getting to a #CeasefireNOW that stops the killing in #Gaza. #Palestine

[Josh Ruebner @joshruebner]

"W/ the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in its 3rd month & a permanent ceasefire nowhere in view, policymakers in the US & Israel continue to discuss a theoretical 'day after' in Gaza. To many Palestinians, such talk is dehumanizing & appears callous as the death toll still mounts."

[David Miller @Tracking_Power]

This is a stunning development and major defeat for US power in West Asia.

First, the US Navy admitted it didn’t have the ships for the mission.

Then, France, Italy and Spain withdrew from the coalition.

Now, finally, the US has backed down, citing the fear that Ansarullah might sink their boats!

As the Vietnamese used to say: US imperialism is a paper tiger.

This humiliation comes at just the moment that even die hard Zionists are admitting that the Palestinian resistance can’t be defeated.

Now is the time to begin the process of dismantling Zionism, as part of the move to multipolarity.

So are they gonna ban Christmas and Christmas lights because of the red and green color scheme? Is this the final battle of the war on Christmas?
Cause let me tell you, at this point I see red and green and I'm like "from the river to the sea, obvs"

So, yes, you would only be AGAINST decolonization if you are in favour of continuing to keep occupying troops & sanction all their actions, even the genocidal ones.

[Priyamvada Gopal © @PriyamvadaGopal]

Further precision. Only people AGAINST 'freedom' are against decolonization. Decolonization=freedom.

[Priyamvada Gopal © @PriyamvadaGopal]

This war on language--distortion, fakery, hijacking, repurposing--has to be resisted. There has to be some commitment to truth value.

[Priyamvada Gopal © @PriyamvadaGopal]

Decolonization is the withdrawal of occupying troops in the technical definition. It is the beginning of freedom & reconstruction in the more expansive definition.

Has precisely ZERO to do with genocide, unless we mean life after colonial ethnic cleansing for subjugated people.

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

Also, Elon hasn't read Fanon's Wretched of the Earth, where he argues that intensifying colonial repression only fuels renewed resistance (32).

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

It's incredible that in Canada, it's only activists saying what is plainly true. Instead, we have politicians rushing to expand the programs and business owners calling for more bodies.

@DanDanTransient eeeeeeeeee

This hits hard in Canada too- especially, for me, Rhianna Patrick’s story.

I don’t have a quote to do this justice, but all I know is a whole lot of creepy doctors have gotten away with a lot of things over the years.
