“Abolition requires that we change one thing which is everything, everything.” -Ruth Wilson Gilmore

[Pariah Carey @DesmondCole]

We didn't ask the police for an apology, we demanded lasting change from @JohnTory and Toronto's political class. we continue to demand police defunding and ultimately abolition, and no apology can substitute for that

a statement from @NoPolicing

[Robyn Maynard @policingblack]

the police cannot be "decolonized"or "reimagined" out of their primary function: the maintenance of racial/social/gendered/abled /economic inequality. recognizing this is is empowering, not depressing. it means we can use our energy building something better (many somethings!)

30 ppl arrested today, many more brutalized, and mass amounts of people pepper-sprayed. some folks haven’t yet spoken to lawyers. Shame on @JohnTory and all political class not actively opposing this mass criminalization

2020 was a year rebellion and courageous acts of resistance amidst a deadly pandemic and ruling class and neo-fascist backlash. Highlights include a MAS victory in Bolivian, the Indian farmers protests, and the George Floyd protests at home. Another world is on the horizon.
