they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

There is no such thing as other peopleโs children
It is intolerable
"We are out there in every place they are, showing them that every person in this city is one of our own, that there is no such thing as other peopleโs children, that collectively we are not afraid of staring them in the eye," @erikhane.bsky.social writes from Minneapolis.

What a surprise that the most banned book of the last 4 years in the US is now under target in Alberta. Another disturbing deployment of their โpublic consultโ approach, to amplify the interests of alt right, homophobic & transphobic voices.

6 cops, 5 vehicles to arrest one unhoused indigenous man who was literally sitting on the side walk on Powell street this morning. In case you were wondering what kind of things the VPD was up to while a truck plowed into a street festival.

depressing to read polls suggesting that even amongst those who disagree with Trump, the one issue there is some support for is his fascistic immigration policy. border imperialism is so normalized amongst liberals - and even some radicals. stop believing migrants are your enemy, blame billionaires!

pretty fcked that Canadian racist care economy is largely built on Filipina labour - from domestic work to nursing - and that after the tragedy it's mostly Filipinas in healthcare and community networks doing carrying care work.

Which reporter is gonna ask the VPD & mayor how much they spent ferrying Mayor Ken Sim around the city vs how much was spent supporting Lapu Lapu street festival, with thousands in attendance

I hope the fact that Ken Sim directed money from the VPD to go towards terrorizing impoverished DTES residents (taskforce barrage) & to his private transport from his home in Shaughnessy to city hall instead of providing support to a Filipinx community festival makes it into the news cycle somewhere
