The coroner's inquest into the Vancouver police killing of Myles Gray resumes tomorrow at 9 AM.

More VPD officers scheduled to testify.

The police testimony so far, even as self-serving as it has been, has been despicable. They committed atrocities.

serious colonial violence enacted in the dtes today. turning off cameras, smashing someone’s smudge bowl, destroying property. so many resources wasted to displace an already displaced population. these funds could be funnelled into programs and services instead. just vile.

Inside exclusion zone in dtes where cops have barricaded block. Block of main & hastings been completely decamped, belongings in storage and *no housing* offered so far, only *some possible* shelter beds for *one night*. Despite city press release claims, no BC housing here.

@KimSenklip I am actually doing a grant with them!

While it is a helpful resource for language learning itself - I’m talking about resources that exist to help students financially with living expenses so they can focus on learning. Those are resources for university students specifically.

dreaming of the day when the dams illegally built all over my territory come down and we have rivers again

[Dr. Chhaya Werner @chhayawerner]

How it started, how it's going -- Mills reservoir (ex-lake) on the Elwha river during dam removal in 2013 and now in 2022

The RCMP has acknowledged it uses spyware to hack phones, including by remotely turning on a device's camera or microphone. https://t.co/wqwOTXSV16

51 migrants dead in San Antonio and 37 African migrants dead in Melilla. These are border killings, not passive deaths. Doctrine of deterrence *requires* mass death at borders. Borders - not symptom & easy scapegoat of "smuggling & trafficking networks" - needs to be abolished.

Anyone have earring rack recommendations? I’ve been chaotically storing them in a safeway bag and think it’s time I finally invest.

BC "modern" Treaty Commission comes to mind. 🤢🪶
"the elite of any given social group w take control of that identity & then put forward their own priorities, how they will use the language of identity to suit their interests at expense of others"

An example of this within the context of BC is the modern treaty process. Although this is happening to many Indigenous Nations across canada, through other similar but unique processes.

[Ta’Kaiya @salishdropout]

The canadian government is trying to turn our nations into corporations under the guise of “self governance.” It’s not sovereignty, stop falling for it.
