I need someone to explain to me why it's easier to search an ocean for white men than a landfill for Indigenous women. How do you tell those families that their loved one's remains aren't worth searching for? The double standard is appalling.

Spent a smoky summer dog walk thinking about the 19 year old that died in BC fighting forest fires and here unhoused people are living outside during a pandemic while office towers sit vacant and wondering why people think the apocalypse hasn’t started yet.

Canada is still doing genocide stuff. Right now.

“70% of children in care [in Alberta] are Indigenous. 49 children died while under government care in Alberta in 2021. About four-in-five of those who died were Indigenous children.”

[Dr. Lisa Iannattone @lisa_iannattone]

Yes the smoke smells like plastic. And the reason is horrifying:

“The VOC’s from the wildfire smoke interact with UV radiation to create benzene and formaldehyde compounds in the atmosphere. These are toxic air pollutants – and they happen to smell like burning plastic.”

[ollie d(efund the police) @datasstino]

pride started as a riot against police and we’ve gotten so far from those origins that instead of investing in queer community safety initiatives the gov is giving more money to police who will absolutely end up harassing queer people at pride

false! everything they’re saying now about trans people they used to say about gay people, word-for-word

Curious to know when @AmarjeetSohiYEG will pass the Edmonton Sovereignty Within a United Alberta bylaw. #ableg #yeg

We need to discuss the undiscussable.
Please.

You only think that "cis" is a slur because you use "trans" that way.

"No, the current fire situation is not unprecedented, and calling it the “new normal” is offensive. There’s nothing “normal” about it. Do I sound angry? I have a right to be, and so do you"

As a former #houseless queer teen, as a chronically unhoused adult, I think what happened to #JordanNeely was despicable & grotesque murder. That white man learned by the state to murder at will.

The state discards poor & Black ppl. These systems erase & promote murder.

Me: don't call people the r word. It's ableist and not cool

Society: okay I'll call them a moron

Me: no, that's also ableist and not okay

Society: well how am I meant to insult people based on their cognitive skills and perceived intellect

Me: you're not. That's the point.

[Sam Dylan Finch @samdylanfinch]

Let's be clear about this. Transgender people with depression and autism already ARE being denied hormones and surgery. We already HAVE BEEN fighting for the right to access affirming interventions.

Don't let these mandates confuse you. We've been fighting this for a long time.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Oh my god.

Missouri AG just essentially banned gender affirming care for most trans adults via emergency rule.

Requires 3 years of dysphoria, 18 months of therapy sessions, doesn't allow people with autism/depression.

This is what elimination of transgender people looks like.

After many months, I wrote a brief introduction to disability justice, and how love has been central to how celebrating and dreaming disabled futures will save us. Please read it here! And many thanks to @gutsmagazine and @notvanishing https://t.co/ZFOpq0yGio

[Sarah Jama @SarahJama_]

This change will lead to the deaths of sick and disabled people across Ontario. We need a government that governs with compassion and love, not contempt for people who don't have money to pay for healthcare. There is no reason for this much political violence.

[la coyota @dovethedivine]

why does America put income caps on disabled people but not billionaires

Modern day slavery:

A foreign worker blew the lid off a massive international trafficking in Canada

64 Mexican migrants exploited by an international trafficking ring and in living conditions so deplorable that officers were left shaken https://t.co/HXwFOoETHA
