  1. "The bombing runs may be quieter, but the bulldozers roar on. #Israel is tearing up homes, orchards, schools and hospitals, then flattening the rubble to erase the memory that Palestinian life was ever there.
    "To understand this architecture of death, Richard Hames spoke to #EyalWeizman, author of #Ungrounding: The Architecture of Genocide and founder of #ForensicArchitecture"

  5. Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
    On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.

    We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

  6. #Chinese #professor Jiang Xueqin condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza, saying “the worst thing you can do in modern society is kill children.”

    He argued that #Israel has left itself no way out, describing its approach as “all or nothing” and accusing its leadership of provoking the world deliberately — “starting fights and shouting ‘death to Arabs’ to unite themselves by dividing everyone else.”

  9. #Yemeni #cartoonist - Kamal Sharaf is unapologetic about his bold #political beliefs & #ArtActivism to illustrate his support for the resistance against past & present #ColonialViolence #genocide. He had been targeted, arrested & jailed for his resistance art activism before.

    Most of his strongest #PoliticalArt pieces are targeted at illustrating the collaborative colonial land grabs driven #terrorism from #Israel & #Zionists in #USgovernment - both who blatantly violate #InternationalLaws. Both are guilty of multiple #WarCrimes & both aren't to be trusted. Bigoted buddies in ethnic cleansing genocide of Arab peoples. Best friends in pathological pitiful lying.

  10. Fellow #SaveOldGrowth forest defender, Sheena, made a short film. It includes the jingle dance circle with me & several other #environmental #landback #activists on the bridge between River & Landback resistance camps.

    River & Landback camps were main strongholds at Fairy Creek blockade. River camp was the first resistance camp set up in 2020 & it ran for a year before final big raid. There are 2 very rough logging roads that lead up to untouched old growth forest tracts from these camps. River camp is also where people could go hike to see/visit with Grandmother & Grandfather cedars. After we were removed, industry started cutting more roads up into the untouched old growth tracts. Teal Jones logging company has since pulled out due to financial issues & everything is up in the air at this time. Temporary deferral was renewed this year for some tracts by this one particular area in the watershed. Still hoping for permanent protections as the elder trees are not included in this small deferral.

    "My student documentary on the Fairy Creek/Ada'itsx old growth forest blockade 🌲 something of a collage, made with many hands and hearts. While the blockade and movement has evolved and gone through many stages, the momentum remains and many still carry forth the activism in heart and deed."

  12. #RCMP issued an #apology on September 7, 2024, for the historic use of #StreetChecks and other harmful interactions with members of the #African #NovaScotian community. It was an apology too long in coming, for treatment that was, in the words of Rev. Lennett Anderson, “dehumanizing and tragic.” And the RCMP's history suggests we should be deeply skeptical that the proposed action plan will be even close to what is required to remedy these grave injustices.

    In his 2019 report, written for the #NovaScotia #HumanRights Commission, Dr. Scot Wortley defines street checks as any occasion in which civilians are stopped by #police and subjected to intrusive questions, and their personal information collected into a database. He confirmed what community members have known for years: people of African descent in the #Halifax region are almost six times more likely to face street checks.

    It took five years after the release of this report for the RCMP to apologize for the harms caused. They also committed to an action plan, developed in consultation with members of 13 African Nova Scotian communities and the Association of #Black #SocialWorkers.
