Whether it’s the National Guard, ICE, the FBI, or your local PD, they’re all the same oppressive force, they are all bastards.

My first book, Say Her Name: Centering Black Feminism and Black Women in Sport, came out this March with Rutgers University Press. Since then I've given talks in Boston, Urbana-Champaign, Charlotte and most recently Memphis. /1

ANALYSIS | Why OpenAI wants to help Canada build homegrown artificial intelligence | CBC News OpenAI wants to help Canada build a sovereign digital infrastructure for artificial intelligence, putting the country in a tough spot as it tries to distance itself from overreliance on U.S. tech comp...

I am once again asking Canadian journalists to ask the most basic-ass question of "on whose land will these be built?" How is it that every other major industry must consider Indigenous rights but with tech it's like "meh".

No neutral ground: sport is political in Israel’s war on Gaza - Red Pepper Nicola De Martini Ugolotti and Max Mauro report on the movement to ban Israel from international sports as genocide unfolds in Gaza

"Football, basketball, and Olympic representation are not just games; they are pillars of national identity and instruments to project the nation and its legitimacy abroad.... international sport is a crucial platform for Israel’s global image." #bds @ssj4pro.bsky.social @redpeppermag.bsky.social

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

TTCriders volunteers were chatting with riders about fare capping and petitioning this evening at Broadview Station!

What we heard: riders aren't really buying the monthly pass anymore, and they find that taking the TTC can really add up over the course of a month!
