I've spent the past month trying to understand what's going on behind the scenes at Ottawa's Capital Pride after they mysteriously removed their Palestine solidarity statement. Thanks to @theleveller.bsky.social for publishing this!
Queers For Palestine #Ottawa organized a demonstration within the #CapitalPride parade. For weeks, Palestinian solidarity activists were organizing - so were politicians and pro-genocide institutions. We explain what really happened in the run-up to these events.

I searched up the officer and found out that he had been suspended for police brutality in 2012 - these are not the kinds of people who should be dealing with people in vulnerable situations!
In January, I was verbally harassed and accused of anti-police prejudice by an officer when checking in on an unhoused man being harassed by police in the Montreal metro.

Removing people from metro stations doesn't fix homelessness, and police actively harm the vulnerable people they interact with.
🚇 Experts say the STM "move-along order” in metro stations marginalizes the city’s most vulnerable citizens by pushing them back onto the streets.

The cop who punched Abdirahman Abdi to death in Ottawa, Daniel Montsion, was the highest paid officer in Ontario in 2024. His salary is nearly double the other highest salaries, at a stunning $410,710.

Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City.

"He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent."

It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...

A Palestinian activist who helped film the "No Other Land" documentary, Awdah Hathaleen, was shot and killed by an Israeli settler on Monday. Locals identified the killer as Yinon Levi, who was sanctioned by the U.S. and the EU for “regularly leading groups of violent extremists” in the West Bank.

International energy companies, such as BP and Chevron, are becoming increasingly involved in Israel's energy sector and therefore fuelling the genocide of Palestinians. This article offers a really good explanation of Israel's "energy diplomacy" strategy!
Energy exports play a central role in Israel's campaign to normalize relations with its neighbors and avoid accountability for its ongoing genocide of Palestinians. An energy embargo on Israel should go hand-in-hand with calls for an arms embargo.

Love when my work allows me to dig into fossil fuel lobbyists.
In a recent National Post article, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute argued that climate is no longer a priority for Canadians, so Carney should reverse Trudeau’s climate policies. Let’s dive into who they really are and why they want us to think that Canadians don’t care about climate. 🧵#ClimateSky

"When weighed against landfilling using the latest green energy technology, like methane gas conversion, the emission rate of incineration is as much as six times more."

One thing we’ve talked about on @theflytrapmedia.com is allowing people to sponsor posts and looking at all these amazing freelance pitches we will have to reject for purely budgetary reasons I feel like I gotta ask…anyone want to sponsor a post at The Flytrap?

In other news, I spoke with @xtramagazine.com about how lesbian communities have responded to the UK transphobia, and the importance of solidarity and collective action in the face of state-mandated persecution.

Hope lies with Dyke News, with Dyke Pride, and with the Lesbian Avengers!

Resisting Trump means standing against fascism, racism, and colonialism, not celebrating another settler-colonial state that's slightly "nicer" about its violence
Meanwhile the government of so-called Canada is literally trying to pass Trump-esque legislation to deport refugees and exploit Indigenous lands without consultation 🤡🤡🤡

NEW: For @prismreports.org, I wrote about my beloved Los Angeles, an American city unlike any other, where there is an unspoken understanding that our place and our people must be defended at all costs:
ICE raids in Los Angeles are a declaration of war
ICE sent the city a message when its agents showed up in full force, and that message was responded to in kind by the people of Los Angeles
