They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

If you are going to be in the #winnipeg area on this date, please consider attending the #rally for #campmorgan. It is deplorable that this space has been torn down without permission, by the same province that finally agreed to #searchthelandfill

Alt-text: Announcement for the Rally for Camp Morgan with a sunset sky and a teepee. Transcribed Text: Rally for Camp Morgan! Thursday, December 18 @ 2PM Front Steps of Legislative Building The province tore down Camp Morgan without notifying all members of the Harris family. This act disrespected their grief, their rights, and the community’s ongoing fight for justice. Camp Morgan held space when governments would not, and her name will not be erased by a unilateral decision. Stand with the Harris family. Stand for accountability. Bring your Drums, your Voices, your Signs. Camp Morgan is here to stay.

Hopefully it looks better than that gulag they are calling a #detoxcentre.

As for the business owner.. enough of that mentality; a supervised site is far safer than using on the streets, which is already happening.

Sadly, this is far from isolated The majority of my visibly #indigenous friends get treated poorly at various stores.

There needs to be stiffer punishment for these stores.

Anyone who's been to #manitoba knows that our winters are brutal.
Here are some resources for those that need a warm and safe space to stay.

#ManitobaWinter
#StayWarmMB
#ManitobaShelters
#WinnipegShelters
#RentReliefFund
#HousingSupport
The image is a social media post from Rent Relief Manitoba. The logo is displayed at the top left, showing a stylized house with the words “MANITOBA RENT RELIEF FUND” beneath it. The post, published 11 hours ago, addresses Manitoba's harsh winters and offers information about province-wide shelters and warming spaces. The text is organized into paragraphs detailing available shelters in Winnipeg, including addresses, services offered, and any time-specific details. Bullet points list specific locations like N'Dinawemak, Main Street Project, Salvation Army Centre of Hope, and Siloam Mission with descriptions of services such as low-barrier drop-in centers, warming spaces, provision of meals, showers, and overnight facilities. The image is a screenshot of a text list detailing various safe spaces and shelters. The text is formatted in bullet points and divided into sections based on locations. The first section titled "Youth Safe Spaces" lists "Ndinawemaaganag Endaawaad Inc. (Ndinawemaaganag Endaawaad Inc.) Tina's Safe Haven at 472 Selkirk Ave, and Rossbrook House at 658 Ross Ave.” The subsequent sections detail specific locations and names, such as BRADON, THE PAS / SWAN VALLEY REGION, and THOMPSON, followed by descriptions and addresses of shelters and support centers, with mentions of “24/7 shelter and service hub for adults,” “winter shelter and warming hub,” and “support centre.” The image features a block of text with information about winter shelter assistance in Western and Rural Manitoba, specifically the Swan River Region. It discusses the availability of a seasonal overnight warming space (regionally operated) and a Rent Relief Fund intended to prevent eviction and provide housing support during cold weather or unexpected expenses. The text emphasizes the availability of resources to keep people housed. A web address and multiple hashtags related to the topic are included. The image features a section of a map highlighting parts of Manitoba, Canada. Superimposed on the map, there are three large teal location markers with house icons, indicating shelters or warming centers. The background of the image is teal, providing a contrast to the map and markers. At the top of the image, there is bold black text asking, "Need a Warm Place Tonight?" Below it, a smaller font continues with, "Shelters & warming centres safe, 24/7, open all winter." The overall impression is targeted towards offering information about available shelters during winter months.

On World AIDS Day, we honor the lives of those lost to HIV and the resilience of those who have paved the way for progress.

We must continue to fight against cuts to treatment, prevention, and research.
Today is not just a day for remembrance — it's a call for action.

This health minister is useless. I voted for them, I despise the #PC's, but all this minister seems to do is "investigate" issues. priorities are out of whack, it's like someone deciding to hire an interior designer when the entire house is falling apart.
