The National Guard & military police were both sent to terrorize Water Protectors at Standing Rock. Obama just said "let's wait & see how it plays out" They used chemical weapons on Water Protectors, shot them with water in freezing temps, locked them in cages, shot them with rubber bullets, etc

If you need to disable a vehicle, remember: the valve stem on the tire is accessible, not protected, and easy to pull. There are YouTube videos. And it doesn’t require carrying anything that can be described as a weapon. Just a pair of pliers.

Are there any other Canadian authors who might be interested in doing a charity fundraiser Itch bundle next month to try to help people affect by all the wildfires? I know someone from Flin Flon who will be looking into the best charities to donate to.

How did so many people attach to this idea that if Black people take to the streets, that's how the state will suspend normative law and deepen overt fascism? The state doesn't need Black people protesting or any alleged excuse for that matter to do what's already happening in plain sight.

anyway "they're provoking people to protest & direct action so they can justify martial law" is the most straightforward version of telling people to comply in advance possible. it costs you nothing to just shut up & not denounce protestors or spread wild rumors or conspiracy theories.

I’m sorry to inform you, Bluesky, but Facebook is suppressing the #IdleNoMore hashtag so we will have to move some of our content here. More than I was figuring. In Canada, democracy only exists when you’re not Indigenous. Academics are going to want to be paying attention to the hashtag thing.

The Parliament of the Xinka People in May said no to the reopening of a Canadian-owned silver mine in their territory in Guatemala. As the Xinka wait to hear whether Guatemala’s Ministry of Energy and Mines will respect the decision, two representatives visited B.C. last week to deliver a message.

While you're having fun calling American migra "gestapo", it's worth remembering that in 1925, before the Nazis took power, Hitler was praising America because it "categorically refuses the immigration of physically unhealthy elements, and simply excludes the immigration of certain races."

last thing i'm saying about this before trying to sleep but i will never forget the volunteer internet cops who helped identify rayshard brooks' partner & get her arson charges bc they baselessly speculated she was an outside agitator/police plant to "justify violent crackdowns."

What's going on in LA should be a real wakeup call for folks who don't already know that a fully liberal government can still wind up a police state and without some major change to the way we talk about the militarization of policing, nothing will get better

i find poses where the body is "folded" more difficult than ones where all the limbs are extended and clearly visible so that's what we're practicing. (just doing loose gestural sketches this time not full figure drawings)

See some folks cleaning their eyes with milk from tear gas. Milk does not help, it is no better than water, plus pouring milk all over your clothes and into your eyes is not the safest or least-disgusting thing you can do. You're gonna be a rotten milk monster walking around soon, use water!
