@damnfoodcourt Moira came across this sequence of ads by one guy recently. I walked into the room immediately after she had finished reading the last one and she was laughing so hard I asked if she was okay because I thought she was sobbing.
An important strategy is to learn to appear and disappear at a moment's notice, to move like water. Render their barricades and kettling tactics useless. Drain their resources and morale by forcing them to pack up and move their heavy equipment as often as possible.
English media is barely covering Pollievre’s threats, direct from Trumps playbook, to defund universities who “don’t do enough to combat antisemitism.” Threats of deportation. It is a direct threat to higher education and to our students https://t.co/3CIjGIfKcQ?
The reason your bills are going up is privatisation. The way to stop your bills going up is to end privatisation. If a politician refuses to even entertain this idea, it's because they're not on your side, they're on the side of corporations.
Amidst mounting calls to boycott US products, it’s worth recalling that the Canadian gov’t officially considers boycotting Israel to be a manifestation of antisemitism.
This double standard is a hallmark of Anti-Palestinian Racism. It also stands to increase genuine antisemitism by conflating Israel with Jews.
Don’t fall for it.
Support the @BDSmovement for justice in Palestine.
Sarah reminds us that her campaign as an independent candidate will create pathways for others to become involved in politics by being rooted in community and committed to the community, not bought by corporate interests or greed and partisan politics. As reminded by the brilliant and equally courageous @LauraMaeLindo, “The strategic vote is for leaders who have courage.” And MPP Jama has shown us time and again that she leads with courage, integrity, compassion and above all, humanity.
@SarahJama_ is most assuredly the strategic vote and she will continue to trail-blaze as the Hamilton Center Independent MPP.
This isn’t Gaza.
This is Jenin, in the occupied West Bank.
Israel is on a rampage—wiping out homes, massacring civilians, killing children.
This isn’t war. This is annihilation.
And the so-called “international community” watches in silence—complicit as always.
When you're at the grocery store checking for "Product of Canada" labels, remember that most of our domestic fruits and vegetables are grown and harvested by migrant farmworkers from Mexico, Jamaica, and the Eastern Caribbean.
Produced in Canada under a system of laws that benefits the multibillion-dollar agriculture industry at the expense of the migrant workers who sustain it.
Produced in Canada by migrant workers who pay into EI but are denied access to regular EI benefits.
Produced in Canada by migrant workers who, in Ontario, are denied the right to join a union.
Produced in Canada by migrant workers who are regarded by the state as good enough to work, but never good enough to stay – no matter how many years of service they put in.
Canada's history of systemic racism and exploitation in agriculture exposes the falsehood of the claim that "we are all in this together." Class consciousness demands more than exercises of purchasing power in difficult times. It demands solidarity with workers in our collective struggle for economic justice and liberation.
Recently, the Edmonton Police Service has sought a publication ban to protect the identities of officers involved in this incident, citing credible threats to the life of one officer.

TDLR: I’m retaining a lawyer to fight the publication ban.
