"History is consistent: sustainable freedom is built by people who organize, strike, write, teach, and resist—not by foreign jets, sanctions regimes, or crowns," writes Sima Atri.

"Iranians deserve more than a choice between destruction and dictatorship."

Enbridge paid police to protect one pipeline. Now it wants to do it again in Wisconsin. The Bad River Band is fighting to stop Line 5 and protect its watershed. Meanwhile, local sheriffs are already tallying the cost of riot gear.

My latest for @grist.org: Pipeline giant Enbridge will pay for police to respond to potential Indigenous-led protests as it begins construction of the controversial Line 5 reroute around the Bad River reservation

Everything is bleak but I keep finding myself giggling about the handful of people who watched this week's SNL without having seen Heated Rivalry and who must've been really confused about the random guy who kept popping up to absolutely rapturous applause

Corporate landlords are targeting Black tenants in Toronto through ‘racial banishment’ ⋆ The Breach Carl and Olliver Henry nearly lost their home over a single cent. Their story highlights how racism is shaping Toronto’s financialized housing crisis

Carl and Olliver Henry nearly got evicted by their corporate landlord for being one penny short on a rent payment.

It’s part of a bigger pattern: Black tenants are being targeted for eviction by Toronto’s corporate landlords, who are intent on raising rents and remaking the city.

For anyone who doubts these processes -- or humanity's power to alter our planet -- consider this dispatch from the poles: Human-caused warming has already melted so much ice in Greenland and Antarctica that Earth's rotation has slowed and its axis has shifted, slightly altering the length of the day and disrupting the precision of satellite tracking, global positioning systems and timekeeping.

oh my god

Excerpt from Resisting Erasure, it reads: Moreover, when solidarity with Palestine is framed as divisive or ‘too political’, what is really being argued is that the lives and struggles of racialised people outside the West do not belong at the centre of political and labour movements. This attitude treats the concerns of certain workers – those who are predominantly white or in the Global North – as the ‘real’ working-class issues, while marginalising those of others. Bread-and-butter racism is not just about what is opposed but also about what is excluded. It is itself a racialising logic.

Oh, talking about Palestine is too fucking 'sectarian' is it? Why should Gaza be an issue in Gorton and Denton?

To quote myself, Adam Hanieh and @rafeefz.bsky.social:

It's almost like the BC government is already acting like DRIPA doesn't matter anymore...

One side unilaterally and hastily deciding what Indigenous rights may or may not mean is just peak settler colonial

U.S. Women's Hockey Team Declines Trump's SOTU Invite After Degrading 'Joke' Trump has faced backlash for teasing that he had to invite the women to D.C. along with the men's team, both of which earned Olympic gold.

Good. It's called backbone. And the men's team is "showing their ass" by agreeing to celebrate at the White House after this jackass mocked the women's team. They are a national embarrassment now and they can go kick rocks. www.huffpost.com/entry/usa-wo...

Last week, B.C. applied to the Supreme Court of Canada to appeal the decision made in the Gitxaała case that ruled DRIPA be incorporated into positive law in B.C.

How are the women's free skate and the women's hockey final at the same fucking time? Even for the IOC, this is some bullshit.

A must-read: "If law is to function as anything other than a retrospective vocabulary for state violence, as a lens inverted to minimize and occlude the contours of such violence and its meanings, then it must be wielded deliberately..."
