This morning, Israeli troops raided the al-Faur refugee camp in Hebron and clashed with the youth. In their raid, the Israelis arrested Alaa Abu Heshesh, blindfolded him, and used him as a human shield so the youth wouldn’t pose any danger during their military operation.
Palestinian photographer Mahmoud Manaa documented 2,500 weddings from 1960-1990. “The images illustrate and document aspects of tradition, society, family, gender, and queerness and tell stories of a changing society.” -Raya Manaa, daughter & founder of Al-Ameen Archive Project.
Resistance to settler colonialism is what it was. Our people are living in abject poverty and dying at an accelerated rate due to this enforced poverty and inter generational trauma from Canada’s assimilation policies while the colonists benefit and thrive in our territories.
Incredibly powerful actions in Vancouver tonight. In rain and cold. From our crew that blocked the $500 a plate fundraiser for federal Minister of Foreign Affairs, Melanie Joly. To the thousands who marched over to join. Solidarity in action! #FreePalestine #ShutItDown
Don't deflect responsibility. We ain't dying from pharmaceuticals. We're dying from unregulated toxic drugs. We're dying from @bcndp's drug of choice: illicit fent. The villain here is not big parma. The villain is the state. It's you.

I have spent many hours of the last week in St. Paul's. I've had some bad experiences there, but this time I met nurses who understand dopesickness and the need to treat it seriously instead of considering it a trivial punishment for bad choices. Thank you nurses.
the major motivation of the Loser Left is the desire to feel contempt & superiority to as many people as possible. Right populists, who actually do want to win, exploit this by pretending to be morons so liberals with sneer & voters say "I bet that's how he feels about me too" 2/
@miriammirwitch Yes, the weaponisation of antisemitism against the left by non-Jewish rightwing actors has been appalling and dangerously damaged the concept. The late, great, Jewish anthropologist David Graeber was excellent on this. @davidgraeber
Just saw a bunch of drunk ~20yo, by a bar in my neighborhood (aka supervised consumption space). 1 was laying on ground laughing maniacally while other puked on street. Somehow, I repressed the need take photos nor react fake moral outrage as if I'd just seen Satan's butthole.

Psych-diagnosis is what we call in anthropology an 'initiation ritual' into a very different social status: one where new authorities & practices can now exert power where they had no jurisdiction before, & where a new story of you is written to legitimise this arrangement.
AB Government silently updated the drug toxicity statistics yesterday, reporting 155 drug toxicity deaths in August. Previous months were also updated. July climbed 5.6% to 178 since the initial disclosure ~Oct 9. Table: updates from initial counts since I began monitoring. 1/
This is a fascinating finding about the value of nonprofit journalism. Public corruption prosecutions rise where nonprofit news outlets flourish, research finds #cdnmedia #journalism journalistsresource.org/media/watchdog…
Canada is racist. It is colonial and it is white supremacist.
Instead of Zionists recognizing their interconnecting freedom struggles with other oppressed peoples, they decided the answer was ethno-isolation. Except in a colonial world, you cannot create an ethno-nationalist state without committing genocide.
I've seen a lot of weaponized tears as well as folks using "feeling unsafe" to harm marginalized folks recently, and I feel we really need to call it out. Nobody has a right to "feel safe," particularly when that feeling of safety is rooted in patriarchy or white supremacy.

I'm fine. I've been at St. Paul's visiting Jeff. Sadly, there are other VANDU members there too. There is no clearer document of colonialism than the human body.
I have spent many hours of the last week in St. Paul's. I've had some bad experiences there, but this time I met nurses who understand dopesickness and the need to treat it seriously instead of considering it a trivial punishment for bad choices. Thank you nurses.

Today is a great day to share some kindness with a stranger who is down on her luck and possibly having the worst day of their life.
I see the left is playing defence in Canadian politics, letting the right decide the issues in upcoming elections. Don't waste all your time defending false narratives about carbon tax, drug use, and homelessness. Set the narrative by talking about your vision for the world.
If the left had any power, there would be homes for all, tuition-free universities, public transit everywhere, ecological restoration, serious land transfers (back) to Indigenous nations, sustainable jobs, and dancing in covered and heated public squares every Saturday night.
@NicoleChaland We’ve seen 8 years of leftist policies and we’re living the result. Time for a new perspective as this one’s failed on every single level
Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe responds to my question about the VPD raids on DULF by saying the organization is working to reduce harm in its community every day, and sometimes that justifies taking measures that aren't strictly legal.
"If you see someone in a burning house, it is somewhat justified to smash a window." BC's Chief Coroner Lisa LaPointe on the urgent need to address the toxic drug crisis through the need to ramp up safer supply, including the need to provide safer supply without a prescription
