  1. I just realized that I did not put my earrings back in after Monday's protest.

    Anyhoo, waiting for the Antifa Awards¹, so seems like an opportunity to recap the weekend's (and Monday's) protests.

    A 🧵.

    Saturday:

    ✊🏻 ✊🏼 ✊🏽 ✊🏾 ✊🏿
    12 PM Justice for Kaleym
    TPS HQ
    ✊🏿 ✊🏾 ✊🏽 ✊🏼 ✊🏻

    On August 6, 2026, plainclothes 🐖🐖 shot Kaleym Davy, a 19 year old Black youth, IN THE HEAD, then issued a media release stating he was ina stolen vehicle.

    He was not².
    Good luck finding a single media article with the connection, though.

    At this point in my life, I always assume that the more charges flying around, the more the cops know they're in the wrong. And boy, have a LOT of charges been laid³.

    A protest was held outside TPS HQ, or rather just west of TPS HQ, because cops are not good with criticism, so they BLOCKED THE SIDEWALK making it impossible for anyone to use the north side of the street.

    A march followed (more on this in a minute).

    Yes, there were fash, but this is not about them, so fuck them.

    ✊🏿 ✊🏾 ✊🏽 ✊🏼 ✊🏻
    1 PM Disability Pride
    Allan Gardens
    ✊🏻 ✊🏼 ✊🏽 ✊🏾 ✊🏿

    At about 2:30 PM I wandered over to Allan Gardens to LO at the TDP march, as they were prepping to take the road. The group was 3 times the size of the protest at TPS HQ, but that one was Black people, soooooo it had way more cops, and the militarized ones, at that.

    (I was told that the fash who were harassing the other march had been and gone from this one already.)

    So the march took the street and went along Carlton to Yonge, and South on Yonge, when I started getting messages from the first LO team that the cops were starting to hassle their group at Sankofa Square... just as we were reaching Gould.

    For non-Toronto peeps, that's a long block away.

    So the two groups met up and shut down the intersection for a good while, while speeches were given, solidarity was declared and demonstrated, and then the two protests became one and marched to Grange Park, much to TPS' displeasure.

    Guest is here now, so part two will be later.

    ¹ That's a joke. Sort of. We're having dinner with an out of town guest, so no potluck tonight.

  2. 6/

    Whiny fascists discover exactly what an error it was to attempt a Nazi rally in an antifascist park.

    Pretty sure the only thing they accomplished was renaming the toilets Patriots Square¹, which I sincerely hope we keep.

    It's fitting on SO MANY LEVELS.

    Also, we got a few trophies for the next bonfire to cleanse the park of their Nazi goddamned energy.

    ("Vitreous hatred" wut.)
