listen, some countries fight for independence, canada just got around to it eventually but it felt too scary to really go off on its own
I legitimately always forget Canada is a constitutional monarchy

Most of the people I saw saying a general strike couldn't just be spun up out of nowhere were right. I don't think any other place could pull this off right now. The Twin Cities built a citywide support system on every front in like 6 weeks, they are doing the ridiculous backwards in heels.
The prevailing consensus over the last year was that anyone calling for a general strike was ridiculous and ignorant and it would never work here, and maybe that’s true nationally, I dunno, but I bet those people wouldn’t have seen tomorrow in MN coming either
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

all of this has a history. there is a reason that history is not taught. if americans had to actually know what atrocities had been committed by government agents with legal impunity the fiction would be unsustainable.

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

They’re still saying this as if he needs an excuse, as if he’s not already trampling our rights by other means
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

The AGO is an embarrassment. Rotten to the core.
The Art Gallery of Ontario voted not to acquire a work by the famous photographer Nan Goldin, because of allegations that Nan Goldin is antisemitic. Nan Goldin is a Jewish artist who engages in Jewish themes in her work, and whose work is in the Jewish Museum in NYC. archive.is/jr3Wh#select...

Trafficking the boy after using him as bait, pinning someone in the snow to spray into their mask, shooting Marimar Martinez, murdering Renee Good—Bovino and Miller are asserting the right to harm anyone they want. The only acceptable response is to make sure they can no longer harm anyone at all.

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.
