  1. Permettre aux milliardaires de s’enrichir sans limite pendant que des populations souffrent de la faim et du froid, c’est la preuve que le capitalisme est #injuste par nature…
    Solution : changer de système… mais il faudra affronter le pouvoir des voyous en col blanc

  2. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
    Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New York

  4. Jesse Lee: "Are Sen. Jon Husted, Sen. Susan Collins, and Sen. Dan Sullivan still silent on whether Todd Blanche can be permanent Attorney General? Every day is a new corrupt investigation or cover-up, and their silence is complicity."

    Building the #SettlerColonial Order: #Police (In)Actions in Response to #Violence Against #IndigenousWomen in #Canada

    Abstract:

    In this article we focus on missing and murdered #Indigenous women, girls, and #2SLGBTQQIA people in Canada. We theorize narratives that police employ to respond to this violence. Using a broad data sample of #testimonies across Canada, this article contributes to understanding how police (in)actions make sense of, justify, and dismiss violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. We draw from 48 in-depth semi-structured interviews with Indigenous peoples in Toronto and other Canadian cities and 219 testimonies from the Canadian National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (NIMMIWG). The #analysis finds that police repeatedly use similar frames (topics), styles (linguistic and behavioral strategies), and storylines (narratives) to respond to violence against Indigenous peoples. While framing Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people as deviants helps police make sense of and explain violence against them, the use of verbal and behavioral strategies (indifference, callousness, and lack of information) and storylines (“they were [insert pathologizing frame]” and “there’s nothing we can do”) allows police to dismiss and justify acts of violence. We argue that the frames, styles, and storylines employed by police perpetuate violence. Police (in)actions are fundamental to achieving settler #colonialism’s ideological and material dimensions.

  6. From 2013:

    #DonaldSutherland: 'I want #HungerGames to stir up a #revolution'

    by Rory Carroll
    November 2013

    "Donald Sutherland wants to stir revolt. A real revolt. A youth-led uprising against #injustice that will overturn the US as we know it and usher in a kinder, better way. 'I hope that they will take action because it's getting drastic in this country.' Drone strikes. #Corporate tax dodging. #Racism. The #Keystone oil pipeline. Denying #FoodStamps to 'starving Americans'. It's all going to pot. 'It's not right. It's not right.'

    "Millennials need awakening from slumber. 'You know the young people of this society have not moved in the last 30 years.' With the exception of #Occupy, a minority movement, passivity reigns. "They have been consumed with telephones. The voice hardens. 'Tweeting.'

    "We are high up in a Four Seasons hotel overlooking Beverly Hills, sunlight glinting off mansions and boutiques below, an unlikely cradle of revolution. Sutherland, resplendent in a dark suit and red tie, is pushing 80. But he is quite serious about the call to arms. 'We did it in '68.'

    "The Canadian actor has a venerable record of #leftwing #activism dating back to support for the #BlackPanthers and opposition to the #VietnamWar, but this latest foray into subversion dovetails with promoting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second installment in a series of four films based on Suzanne Collins's bestselling novels for young adults. It takes forward the story of Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, who must fight other oppressed proles to the death as part of a tyrannical government's strategy of rule through fear.

    "The dystopia, called Panem, is built on the ashes of the US, and Sutherland wants young audiences to respond to the allegory. 'Hopefully they will see this film and the next film and the next film and then maybe organise. Stand up.'"

    B.C. hereditary chief gets house arrest for #pipeline blockade

    Chief invoked #Wetsuweten law for protecting land and water against #CoastalGasLink

    by Betsy Trumpener · CBC News
    Posted: Jul 03, 2024 9:23

    "Chief Dtsa'hyl testified that as a leader, he had a duty to protect Wet'suwet'en land, water, burial sites, and historic trails from the degradation of pipeline construction. He said his actions against Coastal GasLink upheld the traditional Wet'suwet'en law of trespass.

    "During the sentencing hearing this week, defence lawyer Rebecca McConchie said the chief's actions needed to be understood in the context of 'the oppression of Wet'suwet'en people in colonial history and the ongoing issues with #UncededLand.'

    "The defence said the criminal contempt case punished the chief 'for upholding #IndigenousLaw because doing so breached a #colonial court order.'

    "The judge acknowledged that questions around the rights and title of unceded #Indigenous territory, as well as how industrial projects consult with #FirstNations, remain unresolved."
