The ABNDP exist to protect alberta conservatives from the left. They bleed off righteous fury and outrage in order to ensure the continuation of capitalism, reduce the efficacy of & divert resources from on-the-ground organizating, and provide cover for social murder.

Sadly, there are many errors in the @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com obituaries on Colvin. Please read Phillip Hoose's award-winning Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice for more on Claudette's Colvin life and courage.

Four women were courageous enough to be on that case, including two teenagers --Claudette Colvin & Mary Louise Smith, along with Aurelia Browder & Susie McDonald. That case went to the Supreme Court and led to the desegregation of Montgomery's buses Dec. 21, 1956. Rest in power, Claudette Colvin.

Rosa Parks made her bus stand Dec. 1. Colvin's lawyer Fred Gray was Parks' lawyer. They worried that the state would hold up Parks' appeal (like they had done with Viola White in 1944). So Fred Gray decided to file a proactive federal case. Gray wanted a minister but no minister stepped forward.

The judge strategically threw out the segregation & disturbing the peace charges and only found her guilty of assaulting an officer, making a legal challenge to segregation harder. Plus, many Black leaders didn't trust young people & thought that Colvin was too "feisty" and not the right image.

Colvin explained, "I could not move, because history had me glued to the seat. . . It felt like Sojourner Truth’s hands were pushing me down on one shoulder & Harriet Tubman’s hands were pushing me down on another shoulder, & I could not move." Rosa Parks raised money for her case.

Claudette Colvin was a political young woman. She'd studied segregation in school & been politicized by the arrest of classmate, 16-year-old Jeremiah Reeves, who was convicted & ultimately executed for a consensual relationship with a young white woman. Colvin joined Rosa Parks' NAACP Youth Council.

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

Colvin stopped straightening her hair after the May trial. She was NOT pregnant when community leaders decided not to go forward with her case. She said the only adult who kept up with her that summer was Rosa Parks who wanted her to continue to be involved in the Youth Council.

Okay, temporary shelter goal basically failed three times in 10 days

Adequate aid has not been received and is needed today, 1/13, in 10 hours A.M. PST

Bills are nearing past due
No health items
No food
🧊 occupied location
Day 295 homeless
Never safeguarded from doxxing and cyber stalking
Temporary shelter goal failed twice in one week

Longer shelter required for proper—any—rest in order to continue making strides towards stability

Funds needed 📈 when goals fail…new goal requires rapid+substantial support

Pls send aid before 1/13 A.M. PST bc I am at my wits end (see thread)

Call your reps and tell them to ABOLISH ICE by cutting off ALL funding (not just increased funding) and IMPEACH NOEM and IMPEACH TRUMP.

You can find your reps here. Especially call @reptedlieu.bsky.social if he represents you. I do not believe he's signed on to impeach Noem yet.

It takes 3–5 litres of water to produce 1 litre of bottled water. Yet companies pay just $503 per million litres. Ford’s “cutting red tape” is code for selling public resources. #onpoli

She was the president of the Montreal Suffrage Association from 1913 to 1919. She also supported access to birth control during the era when it was mostly illegal and she confronted Quebec premier Lorne Gouin over the matter.

Carrie Derick was a brilliant geneticist.
Despite this, she was paid 1/3 of what her male counterparts made, was repeatedly passed over to head McGill's Botany Department and was told her professorship was just a courtesy title.
This is her story.

There was a video going around of an ICE agent saying he'd do his job for free, and he can't believe he gets paid $200k for it.

White people been wanting to take the mask off for a long time.

They can't believe they have to be nice to Others.

Again, if you're not hearing too much about transphobia from #adoptees who are trans, it's bc most of us were run out of adoptee spaces bc transphobes have historically been welcomed and platformed in those spaces.

Allyship is all well and good but the harm has been done.

Hello?
It's interesting being trans and an #adoptee and watch most discussions re: transphobia in adoptee spaces happen over and around me.

No one ever asks me or includes me in the convo directly, and ngl, that feels like transphobia, too.
