No context 💯

Even for Alberta, this is dark.

Even supposedly labor-friendly provincial governments have spectacularly failed their post-secondary education systems.

These cuts are foolishly short sighted. Post-secondary across Canada needs more funding—and without conditions about “market needs” (looking at Ontario)—not less.

Whose got good anti-ICE / anti-fascist zines for teens and tweens? 👀

I stand by my previous joke.

[Me, having grown up in the 80s, paraphrasing Public Enemy]: "Reagan was a hero to most / But he never meant shit to me / Straight up racist, the sucker was / Simple and plain"

[Flavor Flav]: "Mothafuck him and John Wayne"

"We’re on the move, from university halls and paywalled journals to the streets of the socio-ontological underground of modernity. Stover’s Epistemic Ruptures, Insurgent Philosophy is an urgent and compelling contribution to existential and emancipatory thought today." 2/2

"Insurgent philosophy poses a serious methodological and existential challenge to the institution of philosophy, reverberating within the academic halls that have served to narrow critical theory, antiracist theory, or philosophies of struggle into merely oppositional philosophies." 1/2

Here's my review of Stover's Epistemic Ruptures, Insurgent Philosophy: c-scp.org/2023/04/12/a...

I have a new chapter in the 2026 edition of Policing Black Lives on how police reform has expanded police power to surveil, monitor and criminalize Black communities for 70+ years now. Did you know in Canada community policing (first in parkdale, in Toronto ) has been a “reform” since the 1960s?

What the F**k Is to Be Done? Dandy Andy attempts to answer the question, How do we craft an anti-capitalist strategy for our current period? His discussion touches on the relationship between class analysis and intersectionality…

Large demonstration against ICE and its corporate partners at Hootsuite offices in Vancouver today.

#ACAB #AbolishICE

A very determined crowd gathering in the pouring rain outside Hootsuite HQ in Vancouver for a Hootsuite Out of ICE protest

You’re missing literature on the three way fight.

Excellent work (the article and the subject of the article).

Minneapolis police are facilitating ICE and making it more difficult for protestors by arresting people

Alex Pretti Was a Union Member - Another General Strike Now Likely - NBA Game Cancellation Could Spur Player Walkout Again Alex Pretti was an ICE nurse at the Minneapolis VA and, according to AFGE, a union member of AFGE Local 3669.

Alex Pretti was a union member of AFGE Local 3699

His murder increases the likelihood of another general strike in Minneapolis.

My newsletter looks at what’s next as labor responds to his murder by ICE agent

Conflicting info about whether Pretti was murdered by ICE or CBP makes it clear that ICE is not single "rogue agency"

ICE, CBP and ALL policing & borders must be abolished. This isn't just one agency; its an entire infrastructure of carceral control, illegalization & criminalization, and fascism.

Five fascists on road.

We drove these residential school denial fascists right off UBC campus in Vancouver today. Were they ever whiny and appealing to their cop buddies.

“This isn't just a one off. What I want it to be is something that delivers a blow and shows how serious we are, and provides some lessons for us learning in terms of building the movement, but also provides some ideas about how to take the next step,” CWA Local 7520 President says.

I am inspired by the stories of mutual aid emerging from Minnesota. #AbolishICE #StopFascism

MacLeod’s, Paper Hound, and Massy.

Brilliant.

I went down to Paper Hound and MacLoud’s.
