We've been quiet, but we've been busy. We've reworked some of our sessions to more accurately reflect the world in which we live.

=========================
First up: Know Your Rights.
=========================

(For the fuller preamble, see:)
kolektiva.social/@OrangeHats/...

#PoliceDontKeepUsSafe
Changes to our Know Your Rights (KYR) workshops. From Orange Hats. You wouldn't need to know your rights if police didn't violate them. Our KYR workshops used to end with a section on "The Limitations of Knowing Your Rights" analyzing the Neptune Four story. Our new workshops are now based on the understanding that "rights are for the court" and cops have no qualms about ignoring them. The primary reason to know your rights is so that you can recognize when they are being violated. Our KYR workshops centre the experiences of participants so we can build a mutual understanding of the ways in which police have traditionally violated their rights and will likely continue to violate rights of people in the community. What to do when you know your rights are being violated Once you are aware that your rights are being violated by the police, you need options for what to do and how to document the malfeasance. This is what the last part of our training consists of: giving you the knowledge and tools to make that violation COUNT.

Its called stalking & the only way they'll stop is if you involve the police. We've endured 4 years of it & have now taken to publicly documenting it.

Here is the link to our record of harassment, which we have decided to make live for a few reasons. 1) we hope being vocal about it makes it stop. 2) identifying patterns in harassment is crucial for taking action so we hope it can be helpful for others:

I have been on the internet since 1990. Watching this shit come creeping in (which is never about youth safety and always about religious extremist control) fills me with grief.

What I have just realized pisses me off about mandatory e-billing is that it requires citizens to subscribe to commercial solutions to participate.

Here's what the City of Cambridge spends to mail out paper bills
The City of Cambridge spent around $437,000 on printing and mailing tax and utility bills in 2024, but only a minority of customers have made the switch to electronic billing

Yeah, they also want to close Post offices and slow down mail transfers across the country. The only shareholder of our postal service is the government. Meanwhile, no one’s talking about reducing the dozen or so executives’ pay.

Canada's parliament started the week giving a standing O for free speech and the memory of Charlie Kirk.
They ended it by joining Orban's Hungary and Trump's America in targeting @kneecapceol.bsky.social an Irish hip hop group for challenging the genocide.

When you yourself are anti-Black AF but play like you're out there unmasking Nazis.

Ever going to apologize for defending Caryma's bullshit, to Black women, Johnny? No?

I mean, obviously not to me because I have him blocked.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

One takeaway for Canadians watching what’s happening in the United States right now is that we need to put more pressure on governments / parties to strengthen democratic institutions and the fourth estate

You can also defend democracy by supporting the work of journalists and civil society groups

As we've been offline trying to have a life, Caryma Sa’d has continued in spreading misinformation & pushing her unhinged conspiracy theories. She's been warned by TPS, settled a civil court case & was served a C&D on July 18th. The obsession is escalating & a new entry in our wiki has been created.

Oh look.
Caryma found a replacement shit former journo to replace Blandell.

Maybe don't listen to people who don't provide any evidence?

archive.ph/f6R4V
Sa'd did not provide details of her investigations into the alleged targeting dossiers shared on Discord, but suggested her research grew out of her own experience of being targeted. "The compiling of information on political targets could include social media handles, involvement in court cases, where they live, who their family is, what their connections are, and where they appear in public life,' Sa'd said.
