Remember that time Toronto came down like a bear trap on the guy who was building wooden shelters for the homeless in winter, because fire hazard?
Protesters at Confederation park, right across from City Hall and beside the NAC and Rideaul Canal, appear to be building some type of wooden structure. They've also collected a stockpile of propane tanks and diesel fuel. @CTVNews

Here's a 🧵 before I log off for the rest of the afternoon and eventually head down to check out the installations set up for the truck convoy that's promised to arrive today.
What we are seeing in Ottawa is a fascist tactic, aided by police. And so I ask --- where is labour?

If you're wanting to do something to help those in Wet'suwet'en facing down RCMP actions on their own, unceded territories, please consider donating money to support their legal fund. Injunctions cause arrests which cost a lot in legal fees to defend!

The laws were built to make room for the “errors” of people like Kyle Rittenhouse and they were built to continuously damage, destroy and threaten the lives of those who were never considered in the building of the constitution. The system worked exactly as it was intended today.

6.) There are not enough resources to meet all the mental & emotional health needs caused by these institutions.
That needs to change.
Supporting national AND grassroots efforts to build community is paramount to the thrival of Indigenous folks.
Donate where and when you can.

5.) This is still happening - it’s only changed forms.
The fact that an Indigenous parent can be punished for not having the right income to support their child(ren) but a foster family can be supplemented income to “take care” of a child is obnoxious - but deliberate.

Disability Representation is my villain origin story.
But for real, I know representation won’t save us, but that doesn’t mean stereotypes don’t affect us.

Mine, obviously.
aka: what if KNOCKED UP presented abortion as a viable option, was woman-centred, GAY, and also was a love letter to knitting and the friendships that spring up at stitch n' bitches?

Victory to @1492LBL 🔥🔥🔥 “It takes a lot of work. It takes a lot of sacrifice. It means putting yourself in harm’s way,” said Skyler Williams, Land Back Lane spokesperson. “But people need to understand that these things are attainable.” thespec.com/news/hamilton-re…

I see some confusion re: the relationship between residential schools and "Canada Day," so as an historian let me clarify: residential schools were developed and defended by Canada as part of its strategy of colonization + nation-building; Canada and the schools are intertwined.

If you think that Canada’s genocide against Indigenous Peoples is a “dark chapter” in history which has ended remember that there are more Indigenous Children in “child welfare” now than there were were in #ResidentialSchools at their peak.

Of course it would cost less to house people than to maintain & police poverty. We know this, the state knows this.
But deliberate impoverishment and criminalization of poverty serves a broader strategy of precarity & disposession in racial capitalism and settler colonialism.

Services for ppl experiencing homelessness paused or declined during the pandemic.
Every day Toronto’s leadership tells you who the city is for, and it’s not poor people.
If you care about health equity, you should care about what’s happening in Trinity Bellwoods #onpoli

In light of the finding of 215 Indigenous babies on the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School, I wrote for @washingtonpost about the racist legacy of these schools - one that continues to this day with the current Trudeau government.
