UPDATE! The motherfuckers have cancelled. Most excellent.
📢 📣 📢 📣 📢

Yo! #Toronto!

There's another #NaziRally this Sunday, on Yonge Street, no less.

Do you know the little parkette between Gerrard and Carlton? The one with the archway? That's the one.

Sunday. 2 pm.
White Lives Matter, Paul Fromm, Gus Stefanis.

This is what happens when you let the cops help them march through the streets: they get emboldened.

I'm going to need you to get off your ass and show up this time.

It was a long day yesterday.
(It's going to be another long day today, but at least I get some gardening time in before the shit show.)

Yesterday's event was a lovely part of the AAPI Heritage Month festivities, that had drumming and lion dancing, plus I got a knot in my upper back lessened.

But also the cops briefly turned up, justifying our presence.

It is amazing to me that Toronto Police Service has yet to figure out that we are asked to be present at an ever-widening array of events, precisely because someone is anticipating police malfeasance.

A certain someone has been saying that our refusal to pretend to be neutral means that we shouldn't be calling ourselves "legal observers", because there is an air of neutrality in the name.

I say that is an illusion.
Legal observers are requested specifically to watch and document POLICE malfeasance. Even the NLG with its policy of not chanting or participating in protests, are not there to document what the protestors do.

We at Orange Hats take the policy that as long as the police are not "malfeasing", we are free to do anything up to, but not including, civil disobedience while wearing the hat. (We can always take the hat off.)

Calling cops "fascist motherfuckers" is not civil disobedience. I'm sure they would love to arrest me for that, yet it's not illegal. Sucks being them.

Anyway, as anticipated, a clusterfuck of cops turned up to intimidate attendees at the Asian Massage Festival yesterday, an event put on by a community heavily over-policed, and so we had been asked to be present.

I (being me) had a "Tell Cersei" moment and walked down the stairs to a point where they could see me to snap a photo, which is when they noticed four other Orange Hats peering over the railing collecting their badge numbers. 😁

On their way out the door (having been invited to get the fuck out by facilities management) one of our favourites rambled some nonsense about OH being "anti-cop disruptors" and that people shouldn't want to be associated with us.

In that we *disrupted* their plans to force their way in and threaten people, I guess maybe we are. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Somehow, I don't think cops would like it better if we were called Police Malfeasance Observers and Documenters + Legal Support, which is technically what we are.

Also they should stop getting their ✌🏾"intel"✌🏾 from Caryma, and I would probably stop mockingly asking them if they "realize that intel is short for intelligence," and they should probably stop looking to a person who is fatally allergic to the concept for theirs.

Huh.
Nazi cunt surprised that I called her a "Nazi cunt."

Also, those replies are going well for her. 💀

May as well kick off my wrap up of yesterday's instigators with Lynn Brooks, Nazi Cunt. Some of the other douchenozzles listed in image 2, plus, of course, Adam Lee Wasserman and Caryma Sa'd.

They travel as a pack these days, hoping for some exciting footage.

The important part to note, is that the cops seem to have a new and consistent strategy of letting instigators wander through protests now, hoping that they will instigate something that merits an arrest, thus letting them claim to have done something that justifies the MASSIVE EXPENDITURE that they've been indulging in over the past couple of years.

It is my impression that Adam Lee Wasserman has managed to get into an altercation every single day this week, so he is fairly reliable for that.

The crab is me. I mean, my reddit name is even crabbyGigi.

Spending the afternoon with BAYAN and community members who are rallying for the 19 people killed in a Philippine military operation in Toboso, Negros Occidental on April 19-20.

Victims included civilians, student leaders like Alyssa Alano, community journalist RJ Ledesma, human rights advocates, and two Filipino-Americans.

Protestors are demanding an end to the killings, accountability for the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and justice for those slain while advocating for farmers and communities.

The cops have been surveilling and harassing the Labour May Day Committee, escalating in the past month. Attached is a statement from the LMDC (not to be confused with the MLDC).

We had some live music from Marching Disorder.

A really solid article about the state of Toronto protest policing.

It leverages the injury stats that we collect as Orange Hats, but it goes well beyond that.

❝
Policing institutions are highly organized, funded, and ideologically mobilized militant forces that serve the capitalist-colonial global paradigm — nothing they do is (or can be) done in an apolitical vacuum. For that reason, the surrounding social-political context helps us assess the material underpinnings of why the state behaves violently toward certain groups, but not others, even if they’re all racialized.

The above Orange Hats report came just a few days before something seemingly unrelated happened. The official TPS Instagram account posted a now-viral reel in support of the United States-Israeli-backed Pahlavi regime change movement on February 2nd, and noted how there were “zero incidents” at a protest the day before.

The full caption of the Toronto Police reel that has amassed 4.3 million views and 200,000+ likes reads as such:

150,000 demonstrators and
zero incidents.

Thanks to the meticulous
planning, effective on‑the‑ground
work, and professionalism of
our members and specialized
units [emphasis added],
yesterday’s event in the heart
of our city remained safe and
peaceful.

When the police say there was ‘no incident’, all that usually means is no one was arrested. In a reality where fascists and neo-Nazis are protected to roam freely, while pro-Palestinian and Indigenous people get arrested after state thugs drive an unmarked car or ride horses into them, what exactly does Toronto Police claim ‘no incidents’ actually reveal?

FINALLY finished the 2025 Year in Review: Media Edition. It awaits MMH review and distribution.

Now to do the socials version of the injury and abuse tracker:

58 concussions
3 sprained shoulders
3 teeth knocked out
2 bruised orbital bones
2 bruised ribs
1 cracked collarbone
1 dislocated shoulder
1 bruised tailbone
1 torn rotator cuff
1 torn ACL

And many, many soft tissue injuries, mostly to wrists, arm, and legs, from overtight handcuffs, punches, and kicks.

They grabbed one person's hijab and pulled it so hard that it left bruises on their neck from near strangulation. They took another person's hijab when they arrested them and would only give it back in the cells.

(Edited because the capital B was making me twitchy.)

2 Bruised ribs
1 cracked collarbone
1 dislocated shoulder
1 bruised tailbone
1 torn rotator cuff
1 torn ACL

And many, many soft tissue injuries, mostly to wrists, arm, and legs, from overtight handcuffs, punches, and kicks.

They grabbed one person's hijab and pulled it so hard that it left bruises on their neck from near strangulation. They took another person's hijab when they arrested them and would only give it back in the cells.

I feel like if you're going to DRIVE A SNOW PLOW THROUGH A CROWD OF PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALK, you probably shouldn't make it so obviously premeditated.

Probably the best piece on what happened a week ago at the anti-IOF protest that resulted in the glass in the door breaking and tremendous bullshit in terms of police overkill and media boot-licking.

❝
Karten had locked these people inside the event space, which also prevented others from entering, according to SJP and corroborated by the videos.

At some point in the video, a tall individual appears to break the glass of the locked door, either from inside or outside the room.

SSI claimed one of the protesters broke the window using a drill bit, which was found in the clinic afterwards, and Karten said they “broke through the glass door and charged at us,” adding that “one came at me with a drill bit.”

As pointed out by Toronto journalist Samira Mohyeddin, one of Karten’s supporters posted an Instagram story on Nov. 7 or 8, saying Karten broke the window, which Karten then reposted, further confusing the narrative.

If you want to watch the the very important media conference about what ACTUALLY happened at TMU this week, not what the Zionists have been claiming happened, the one Adam Lee Wasserman, stalker numbnuts (see post above) kept interrupting to demonstrate his obsession with me (i wasn't there), here's the link.

In case you're keeping track:

There've been 159 arrests at Palestinian protests in Toronto in the past ~2 years.

As of now, there has been exactly 1 conviction.

Good use of tax dollars, motherfuckers.
