Research focus: social justice, racialized access to justice system & settler colonialism. Activism: Same focus, different tactics. Views are my own.

The article serves to highlight the sheer level of garbage @theblaze has to offer and to shine a light at the various levels of white privileged and supremacy. Without revisiting it further: 🔊🔊YES @thespunkysquaw CHANGE THE NAME OF YOUR STORE BECAUSE THAT WORD IS RACIST.

Because when it's not the season for racist Halloween outfits, there's just regular old capitalism in all its glory.

Navajo Nation and Urban Outfitters reached an undisclosed settlement after the store used the Navajo name for a line that included underwear, jewelry and flasks https://t.co/uCoMHF7QeY

First Nations shld think carefully about @JustinTrudeau federal framework agenda given Canada's bitter battle vs Mikisew Cree to defeat duty to consult. Canada never was sincere about REAL legal reconciliation - only the symbolic empty gestures #sovereignty #rise #idlenomore

If a large number of people with a disability are involved in the justice system should we take action? Yes.
If those same people are experiencing forms of historic & ongoing systemic racism should action be taken? Yes. #TRCAction
Here's some ideas ...

This camp has been going for 100+ days in Regina. One of the longest standing camps that mobilized to demand #justiceforcolten and #justicefortina. The camp calls for #justiceforourstolenchildren and needs your support. If you live in #YQR? VISIT CAMP. Also pl RT

Dear Canadians outraged by the violence in Israel/Palestine.

You live on occupied land.

Update on Day 18 of #justiceforourstolenchildren camp https://t.co/LCMw6s4YCU

@SaskAdvocate Perhaps your next stop can be at the #justiceforourstolenchildren camp. They have been camping outside for 15 days and counting. They're focused on the health & wellbeing of Indigenous children & families.Would you host a meeting at camp so families can share their stories w/you?

@JustinTrudeau - while you pop into #yqr why not stop by the camp @SKLegAssembly. Campers have been in the snow and cold for 9 days calling for #justice4stolenchildren

[Michelle Stewart @drmlstewart]

Save yourself 20 min: no appeal because the courts are products of #settlercolonialism and mechanisms of review and accountability are as well. The investigation and trial demonstrate two-tiered access to justice. #justiceforcolten https://t.co/YilpFdYQSh

@Steamfitter4 @davidcommon Hey Dick: 1) you can't possibly know the intent of a dead person and (2) people over property any day, every day, all day.

[Michelle Stewart @drmlstewart]

Hey folks in #yqr - take some time to visit the camp down, learn about the issues and support folks camping at the Legislature. #JusticeForColten #JusticeForHaven #JusticeForTina #indigenouslivesmatter #cndpoli

[Michelle Stewart @drmlstewart]

Thanks @angelinaiCTV for this series covering issues in the justice system that are complex but also unacceptable. #sask needs to catch up on with #gladue requirements. We need to tackle all these issues thru comprehensive restructuring to decolonizing the Justice system #cdnpoli https://t.co/YfrEgEra1t

[Angelina King @angelinaaking]

Christine Goodwin says she's the only Gladue report writer in the province and that #Sask is behind other provinces in implementing the Gladue principle. Part one of my two-part series: https://t.co/1jsl6gpfz9

@LynnBeyak is a piece of garbage. That is all. https://t.co/NdyTizZld7

Lynn Beyak fights to keep Senate website featuring letters described as 'racist' https://t.co/Quhdb6biBf

[Michelle Stewart @drmlstewart]

I have no love for her & refuse to tweet nonsense BUT maybe Christine Blatchford is onto something with this headline: "Messing with jury selection won’t fix Indigenous alienation from justice system." Indeed Christine, only total structural change and decolonisation will do.✊️

[Michelle Stewart @drmlstewart]

Today folks in Regina joined others across Canada and set up camp outside the Legislature to demand change. #nomorestolenchildren #JusticeForColten #JusticeForTina #JusticeForHaven #indigenouslivesmatter follow @NDNActNoMore for updates and info PLEASE RT https://t.co/9z5PqMBEtJ
