BREAKING: Winnipeg police watchdog pre-clears next generation of officers of wrongdoing

It is a campaign of erasure: the systematic extermination of an occupied people, not for defense, but annihilation. Every man woman & child is marked for death or exile, every home, school, hospital reduced to ash. Now, even shedding a tear for this horror has become a crime in the land of the free.

Before anyone goes 'US is becoming a third world country like Pakistan!' I should also add that Pakistan is the way it is in large part *because* of the US.

Canadians, mind the nationalism. That shit is a trap.

You're not making it up. If it's impacting you, it's impacting you. No shame-- let's figure it out & get a strategy for managing it. Denial & shame have stolen enough of your life. No more.

It doesn't matter if someone's triggering behavior is due to ignorance or malice-- we need to set the boundaries we need to set in order to support our safety & stability. The moment we're triggered isn't the time to judge our reaction or needs because "they didn't mean it."

tibetans, uyghurs, crimeans, kazkhs?

i love tim tams

If Black Americans took everything they contributed back from this country y’all wouldn’t even have green, red, and yellow traffic lights. So a little appreciation would be nice

A patient received priority care after assaulting a nurse. How is this not an example of rewarding violent behaviour? Does this mean that patients can attack nurses and get special treatment in return? This is sickening. Nurses deserve better! www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/art...

I recently spoke at a conference where I explained how the word resilience has been weaponized by many employers to justify unhealthy and toxic work environments. Please, don’t fall for it anymore. We don’t need resilience training. We need healthy work environments. Thank you.

but their elbows up tho

This is literally making me nauseous.

Was at Gray’s Inn with @historysunny.bsky.social and saw Hazel Morgan’s portrait of Dr Ambedkar.

#Tibetan followers have rejected the Chinese authorities’ narrative on Trulku Hungkar Dorjee’s death. Authorities informed his monastery of his death, though his status had remained a mystery since his inaccessibility from July 2024 onwards. Read more: savetibet.org/death-of-tib...

looking forward to the continuation of zero anti-racism, zero anti-colorism, zero anti-castism, zero anti-fascism on this stolen land.

I can’t eat the money in my bank account.

Changing the Eurocentric narrative about the history of science – why multiculturalism matters

BREAKING: Nation's angry white people put hands on hips

Don't just validate yourself for a milestone you achieved in trauma or addiction recovery-- validate the daily, hourly, unglamorous, messy, uncertain, experimental baby steps you took to achieve it. Validate & celebrate your process & judgment & consistency, not just the outcome.

Validating every response to trauma when people have no underlying conceptualization of trauma and healing going in is very dangerous.

U can't be anti human trafficking if you aren't countering negative wealth being saddled on the most vulnerable.

It is good to note the Musk comeuppance as he loses most of what he made since Trump got elected. But some, many people who can least afford it are losing what they made for the last 30 years! Where are these people’s cash going? Somebody is getting richer.

tech companies bring in canadians to destroy any attempt at dei because canada doesnt bother with anti-racism, instead protects and venerates fascists in all of its academic institutioms

☕😏 pro tip: some people have carved out very well paying careers as tools for imploding organizations "the right way" 💰🤑 you can follow their exploits from org to org & see this is consistently what they do they're brought in bc those outcomes are what are wanted by those doing the hiring,, 🤌🏼👀🐒

never disentangling from racism, colorism will make any efforts to disentangle from the usa pointless

Here is my latest -- an ode to this moment we're in, as old structures self-immolate and new ones rise from their ashes, as power tries to destroy its critics, but the critics refuse to cower. On journalism in Canada, and media owners, and how fucked they are noraloreto.substack.com/p/the-new-me...

annihilate caste jai bhim jai savitri i will never go anywhere near a savarna mandir for the rest of my precious human rebirth

Where even the right to serve Lord Murugan in a temple is decided by 'pedigree based on caste'. I guess we would discussing the evils of caste even after 100 years from now - it is so deeply entrenched.

the disgust european descendants have for indigenous people runs deep in their old white stock dna. don't let the 0.6% african and 1% native heritage fool you. we are what their ancestors couldn't destroy. that's why they hate red and brown latinos, they look like their indigenous ancestors.

Location: Hingoli, Maharashtra Date: April 6 During the Ram Navami Shobha Yatra, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) MLA Santosh Bangar declared, “People who praise Pakistan should be kicked out of India.” The crowd chanted, “Bhagao lande.” He added, “Be Hindus, not eunuchs.”

Alhamdulillah for another day of life.

I connect with and relate to Palestinians far more than any Savarna (the group of people I was born into), any Singaporean (where I lived from age 1 to 17), or any Canadian (where I have lived since I was 17). I don't talk to anyone here, including the casteist biological household I was born into.
