BREAKING: government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism law ruled UNLAWFUL

This matters for everyone.

For years, the right to protest has been under sustained and deliberate attack.

Thousands of people have been arrested for something that should have never been a crime.

Hey Canadian media ... "born as a biological male" is not the move when you're reporting on what happened in Tumbler Ridge.

Here's is the @transjournalists.org Style Guide if you are covering this story today

We should be focused on the Tumbler Ridge victims, families and the community.

But some gross people are forcing another conversation: one of virulent transphobia.

The ramifications of that now have to be addressed.

@faejohnstone.bsky.social and @amaramarasingam.bsky.social helped me to do that.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Alberta: Christians who kicked out their 2SLGBTQIA children into the streets now have access to their children's full medical records until they're 18

This has deep implication for the rights of mature minors in Canada and will deter children raped by their parents from speaking with medical staff

Bluesky is getting absolutely roasted on Twitter for their treatment of Palestinians which is really ruining their snarky meme campaign to get people over here and couldn’t happen to a worse company

All That's Left of You | VIFF Centre All That's Left of You chronicles 7 decades of Palestinian history while tracking the psychological impact of cycles of exile and oppression on 3 generations.

Highly recommend this Palestinian film I saw at VIFF theatre last night. It's still playing there various dates through February. It shows the trajectory of a wealthy Jaffa family dispossessed by the Nakba and the course of their children's lives through the twentieth century.😥

We can't lecture the world about shredding the international rules-based order and then pal around with the people who have been shredding it before our very eyes for the last 2 years - not to mention all the decades of occupation and apartheid that preceded this horrific moment.

So on TikTok you can celebrate an ideology behind occupation, settler violence, and apartheid, but if you critique it? Banned for "hate speech." This is what suppressing pro-Palestinian speech looks like. And it will be used to silence all movements standing up against empire.

Trump letter banning DEI in schools is dead after legal appeal is dropped The Education Department said it would accept a federal judge’s order killing guidance issued by the Trump administration in February on civil rights law.

I just want to know whether all diversity, equity & inclusion initiatives, programs, offices that universities ended, closed, sunsetted, etc b/c of the “dear colleague letter”—the racist guidance that was treated as law (although unjust laws should be challenged)— will now be re-instated. Or?

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

BREAKING: Federal agents just shot and killed a man in Minneapolis after brutally beating him in front of witnesses.

We condemn this killing and demand ICE and CBP agents withdraw from Minneapolis immediately.
