Doug Ford is waging an attack on working class people on behalf of landlords, and is accelerating the homelessness crisis. Relentlessly transferring wealth from the poor to the rich. Cruel.

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

Montreal: you are missing out severely if you don’t make it to this incredible play by @aloft -an incredible Indigenous re-history of Montreal, a love story, a tale of the bones beneath the city and ground into its buildings, with incredible visuals grounded in pre-colonial Haudenosaunee ceramics.

A brown skinned woman with long dreadlocs parted to one side looks at the camera without smiling. She wears a white tank top and a pendant necklace.

Cover of Policing Black Lives by Robyn Maynard. The background features a grainy, black-and-white image of a Black individual facing a wall. The person's posture and the ruler markings adjacent to the figure suggest that the image is a mugshot. The entire cover has a gritty feel and is overlaid with a grainy, stippled texture. The title text is bold and distressed.

Today on the blog, Robyn Maynard @policingblack.bsky.social discusses the new revised & expanded edition of her book "Policing Black Lives," explaining its continued relevance to students, scholars, & activists around the world.
