Ryan Martinez will get 4 years for shooting an Indigenous Water Protector in the chest after terrorizing a non-violent protest with kids present. Meanwhile, Jessica Reznicek, a Water Protector, got an 8-year “terrorism enhancement” sentence for non-violent, civil disobedience.

🇵🇸 Good morning. Here’s your reminder that October 7th was a jailbreak, the genocide has been going on for 76 years, and abolition is global 🇵🇸

“October 7th wasn't a holocaust. However, I would say that what's happening in Gaza. resembles the Holocaust that I lived.” - Holocaust survivor Marione Ingram. https://t.co/dV1TTyo5Eq

This is why “reconciliation” is fake. No political party will save First Nations. It’s a scam some of our people accept money for to keep the status quo in place. The sooner the youth realize this the better.

Greta stopped being a media darling when she started connecting climate to capitalism. Now that she connects climate to colonialism and genocide, she has fallen outside the acceptable bounds of corporate media altogether.

The government of Canada gave a respectful minute of silence for the 1,200 Israeli lost lives on 7 October.

I look forward to the *56 HOURS* of silence the government will give for the ~42,000 Palestinians who have died since 7 October.

Okay so the feds assumed jurisdiction over “Indians and lands reserved for the Indians” in the constitution, province has no jurisdiction & feds don’t respect sovereign National rights to be self-determining or give us our lands & resources or wealth extracted from it, but yeah feds have no obligation to maintain water systems on “federal lands” that they control completely. Oh wait, and isn’t water a human right? So Canada only has obligations to Canadians? @trudeau stop listening to DOJ who give outdated advice from 50 years ago. #indigenous #firstnations #watercrisis #humanrights #reconciliation #nativesovereignty #treatyrights #indigenousrights #selfdetermination #constitutionallaw #UNDRIP #indianact #section9124 #section35

This is not Gaza, this is Lebanon now...

Imagine living in a world where you could get arrested or suspended for saying don't kill children, because it might hurt the feelings of the killers.

Justin Trudeau, call your lawyers off.

Provide clean water, now.

[Terrill Tailfeathers @Terrilltf]

@JustinTrudeau October 7th didn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s been a brutal occupation for over 76 years and you know it. It was never about the hostages. My Jewish friends tell me it is antisemitic to conflate Jewish identity with the state of Israel. You are complicit in Israel’s genocide.

I was just at a vigil at Toronto city hall to honour and remember the lives lost in Palestine, and to demand justice. During mid-interview with @AndrewCP24, the cameraman stopped filming and walked away and just left entirely. Andrew apologized to me and said this has never happened before in his entire career. I was simply sharing what I witnessed as a healthcare worker on the ground in Gaza in February this year. In Canada, journalists don’t want to cover or even hear the truth it seems.
