Mutual Aid Request: an old dear friend of mine recently slipped on ice, hit his head, and lost consciousness in -40. He suffered severe frostbite on both hands and both feet. Currently, he can't use his hands, feed himself or function independently. I am collecting donations to help support him during this difficult time. Even if you can only contribute $5 to $10, every little bit adds up. If you donate $50 or more, I will mail you a print of my artwork (within Canada). "I just need some help and hugs cause I may lose time ability to paint and live normally" - Alex. Transfers of any amount to janerevae@gmail.com

A dear friend had an accident and needs our help, #disability, #crip and #chronicallyill community. please donate if you can and share if you cant. #MutualAid #MutualAidBoost

Boycott.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

1 unit of chronically ill energy = 10 unit of rest.

I really mean a comfort. I listen to him when I am frustrated and angry at capitalism and imperialism and all that overwhelming unjustness. In the early months of the latest Gaza genocide when I couldnt sleep, his lectures somehow were the only things that calmed me.

Rest in peace Micheal Parenti 🙏 his lectures and writing have been a great resource of knowledge and comfort to me, especially in the last few years. There are many nights when listening to his old lectures is what gets me through my painsomnia. If you haven't read his work, please start!

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it.

Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

If you read one book in your life, read Perfect Victims and the politics of appeal by Mohammed El-Kurd.

This is a difficult time of year for crowdfunding & I understand

I’m sure it’s been said before, but the ultimate white privilege is not being defined by your worst acts. Any article on Vance (or Musk, Trump, Miller, et. al.) should include the context that they’re explicit white supremacists.

But once the latest scandal abates, they always reset to respectable.

Arms Embargo Now! Canada’s secret arms trade with Israel, exposed: This hard-hitting report exposes the damning data—hundreds of shipments, hundreds of thousands of bullets—and the Canadian government’s web of lies tha...

armsembargonow.ca/report/

Every little bit of progress is forced by organizers and activists. A bombshell report on Canada lying to the public (and sending over 400k bullets and all kinds of support to Israel) just got published, then today the Canadian state says it will finally recognize the state of Palestine

New euphemism just dropped. Apparently in Dubai they are saying "People of Determination" 🤢

The fact that the AIR blowing from a fan makes my CRPS foot flare up in pain is very ridiculous to the point that I can almost understand the gaslighting doctors. ...almost

Nothing like a medical appointment to send my fight or flight soaring

Just watching no less than 300 people enter this costco before a motorized cart is available to use only wasting all my energy before getting in the door HA HA HA HELP

Okay what is this chronically ill thing where if I don't move my body enough in a day I can't sleep, but if I move it too much I also can't sleep?

"Also it's very confusing and convoluted on purpose so the public will have a hard time deciphering what it actually is!"

"And we don't include things like health costs in it! Those aren't necessary for the poors!"

I want to see the downfall of the MBM as a poverty measure in Canada. It's bad and we all know it's bad.

such nonsense neoliberal thinking "look we measured poverty differently and now there are less people in poverty!"

Tweet from Nate Bear about the Pentagon purchasing AI suicide drones for indoor use from an Israeli maker, where they were used to kill in hospitals, schools, and apartment blocks across Gaza.

This tech, developed in part by Stephen Harper's company, was tested for it's effectiveness at targeted murder in Gaza.

It will inevitably be turned on you and me and our kids.
