IJV strongly condemns the Liberal government’s proposed Bill C-2, which copies from the MAGA playbook to pave the way for mass deportations and widespread state surveillance. Learn more about the harms in this bill and take action with Migrant Rights Network: migrantrights.ca/actionslist/...

ABC launched a $5 million boost to the police budget as a by-election campaign stunt, seemingly in violation of the Police Act. Whoops!

Remember this as the Western press cries today about damage to Israeli hospital: www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

ICE is essentially disappearing people. “The Ice official told me they are under no obligation to tell the family or the attorneys of the detainees that they have been apprehended, or that they’ve been moved to another state, to another facility, or that they’ve been deported.”

Still a few tickets left for tonight in Seattle at Tidelands. 6 pm, @haymarketbooks.org

How much of the planned minerals to be mined in the Ring of Fire are for military / arms production? It’s not zero.

Ford insults First Nations fighting for their legal rights. The insults are a divide and conquer strategy to scapegoat First Nations. Bill 5 is an attack on not just treaty rights, but the democratic rights of all Ontarians. #ONpoli #StopBill5

There no way the world can survive a world war - and to stop ww 3 Netanyahu must be removed from power

Wrote this piece for Harpers Bazaar about the life, legacy, and hate-induced murder of Jonathan Joss through the eyes of being a Two-Spirit Native person this Pride. I hope you take a read. For Him. For all of us. 🪶

This week, I talked with @silkys13.bsky.social about immigration raids, rising authoritarianism, mass protest, innocence narratives, and what it means to organize effectively in this moment. Given everything that's happening, I highly recommend checking this one out.

Mosab Abu Toha: As Attention Shifts to Iran, Israel Ramps Up Killings, Starvation & Annexation in Gaza

I'm one of the 412 lawyers, academics, human rights advocates and other experts who have signed an open letter to PM Carney demanding that Canada do everything in its power to stop the genocide in Gaza and support efforts to bring those responsible to account www.alexneve.ca/blog/prime-m...

On the day that millions march in the streets. When police threaten to shoot protesters "graveyard dead". On the day that we witness horrific political assassinations it's time to talk about the rise of fascist threat in the United States. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Gl...

Now with Israel's attack on Iran, the airports are shut down, and our three remaining 'Madleen' team members, Pascal Maurieras, Yanis Mhamdi, and Marco van Rennes may face an extra month, illegally detained in Israeli prison. Contact their government and demand they protect their citizens.

In light of the John A. Macdonald statue at Queen’s Park being unveiled in Toronto, here’s a piece by @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social and I outlining his genocidal legacy and why uncritically celebrating him is holding Canada back from reconciliation: www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/j...

Beyond disappointed by our Prime Minister right now. This is unforgivable. He's supporting war crimes on our behalf. #cdnpoli #ethics #Iran #Israel

The fact is, the Minister of Immigration does not need unanimous consent motion to grant honorary citizenship to Jimmy Lai. The Minister has the ministerial authority to do so and should act immediately ahead of the G7 Summit. #FreeJimmyLai www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

URGENT: Canadian physician @yipengge.bsky.social,who is marching to the Rafah crossing to break the siege, just told me he and many others — including Canadians — are being held up at a checkpoint between Egypt and Ismailia. Everyone’s passport has been taken and they aren’t being allowed to cross.

My book list on fascism "Liberals use “fascism” to identify uniquely authoritarian politicians – exceptions to status quo neoliberal order. Rather than an aberration, fascism operates through everyday violences of colonial occupation, capitalist circuits of extraction & racial terror."

Cultural fire is returning to Blackfoot territory, as Kainai Nation and Natural Resources Canada embark on a first-of-its-kind funding agreement for an Indigenous fire guardians program. New from @joyscm.bsky.social with photos by ‪@gjohnjournalism.bksy.social‬: thenarwhal.ca/kainai-fire-... 🔥

Activists from around the world have been planning to march to Gaza in a bid to end Israel’s blockade.

Good to see @haymarketbooks.org offering a free version of the new No Cop City, No Cop World. "We need the courage and community to truly embrace a broad range of tactics, and the humility to shift course as the terrain of struggle changes." www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/525-fr...

Excellent article by @danaelkurd.bsky.social in Prospect on political possibilities in Palestine: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/israel...

Canada must stop subsidizing our own extinction. David Huntley tells it like it is. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/10/a...

“We already said we don’t want this mining project in our territory,” said Marisol Guerra, president of the Xinka commission of women.... “The community already decided, so we aren’t asking, we are demanding that they respect our decision.” thetyee.ca/News/2025/06...

"So, yes, we’re fucked, but I refuse to play along." I couldn't breathe at points reading this. 😂

"No property is worth risking lives." No pipeline is worth risking lives. Fire is a teacher. @davidebybc.bsky.social & @mark-carney.bsky.social stop the PRGT pipeline from torching more homes. We need a #JustTransition off fracked methane gas (what LNG actually is) & oil. www.nfb.ca/film/incande...

Israel has forced the Madleen dark

Beautiful to see children’s art inspired by @christibelcourt.com in the Rainway show and ceremony in East Van

Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila provides an update from the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social.

Torching the atmosphere and poisoning the water is NOT a responsible way to govern BC

New polling shows that British Columbians want public funding for healthcare, housing, and education -- not oil and gas infrastructure. And 54 percent of British Columbians support pausing further LNG development until an independent health impact assessment is conducted.

Privacy At Risk: Government Buries Lawful Access Provisions in New Border Bill - my 2,600 word post on the history of lawful access and the new “information demand” power, global production orders, and new rules on law enforcement access to communications. www.michaelgeist.ca/2025/06/priv...

“Al-Nasasra took cover on the ground, at the back of the ambulance. He tried to hide and to protect himself as much as he could, digging himself into the ground. The body of Mohammed al-Heila, another aid worker killed, was above him.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Setting up "aid distribution points" and then massacring people who come to obtain food is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.

As thousands gathered on Sunday, seeking aid to feed their families, Israeli forces opened fire, killing more than 30.

The Madleen (named after Gazan fisherwoman) is breaking the siege by water "Convoy of Resilience" departs Tunisia on foot on June 14 to break the siege "Global March to Gaza" will be flying in thousands to Egypt on June 15 to break the siege at Rafah Breaking the Siege by Land, Water, and Air!

“The correlation is clear, and not a coincidence: to date, not a single reported revocation and detention of an individual based on pro-Palestine activism occurred absent prior doxxing by one of these groups.”
