"Today I speak with #ArabBarghouti about his father, #MarwanBarghouti, his arrest in 2002, the political trial that followed, and why his case has become central to the broader struggle for Palestinian rights. Arab also explains how the prison system has worsened since October 2023, and why he sees Marwan as a symbol of hope, legitimacy, and political unity in #Palestine." - #FrankBarat

"Coiste na nIarchimí the umbrella group for former Irish republican prisoners hosted a[n] informative discussion marking #PalestinianPrisonersDay. The discussion centered around #Israel's systematic #torture and brutality towards thousands of #PalestinianPrisoners held in #IsraeliPrisons."

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.

"On September 6 2021, 6 Palestinian men disappeared from their cells at one of #Israel’s most highly secure prisons - leaving nothing but 2 holes in the ground. Their escape left a hole in something else too - the long-told colonial myth that Israel and its prisons were unbreakable."

#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.”

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."

#Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.

Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people

In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.
