I am constantly struck by the absurdity of watching the people exploiting, abusing, and destroying human and non human life bring us to the brink of war & then make music videos about it using the same AI technology of their war machine while we languish in the belly of their endless crises.

So many of our comrades in Lebanon have never known life without war or the threat of it. My friends are sending me photos having tea near the rubble that used to be home. "We have to carry on", my friend Celine says; it is a cry of resistance, not of defeat. Lebanon Lives!

Those of you who are watching those AI generated anthropomorphized fruit dramas religiously should have just got on Wattpad from time

She Spoke Out About Gaza. Now She Can’t Use a Credit Card. After accusing governments and corporations of complicity in Gaza, the U.N. investigator for Palestine territories now finds herself in Washington’s crosshairs.

Gilead refuses to sell groundbreaking HIV prevention drug to MSF Blocking humanitarian organizations from accessing a medical breakthrough puts vulnerable people across the world in danger.

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir.

The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell.

Repeat after me:

Having access to power under system of injustice is not the same as being free. Inclusion is a cheap substitute for freedom.

Even the worst human art is better than generative AI slop. Even a bad poem is better than the "best" an LLM can spit out. Even the worst musicians make more "generative" music than the best algorithm. Even if all it generates is failure, the road to good art is filled with bad art & courage.

Please let's use sense, all these headlines saying that whatever right wing figure is abandoning MAGA do not mean that they're breaking rank with white supremacy.

I've administered Naloxone & used my overdose prevention training 5 times in the last 6 months. I have not had to watch anyone die preventable death & for that I'm grateful.

Harm reduction is integral to an abolitionist politic, this is a tangible way to practice.

Almost 4 years ago, a perfect stranger would administer Naloxone to someone I love dearly & I have thought of them every single day since.

Closing SCS & defunding harm reduction is outright murder, eugenics, racialized class warfare & colonial violence. We should treat it with the urgency that those things demand.

We have to face & fight this. Please do your free overdose prevention training & get your Naloxone kits.

These ghouls are trying to claw back our hard-earned wins.

Queer & trans affirming care & education, anti-racist education, harm reduction sites, cops out of schools, sanctuary city- we fought & won these battles.

We have to fight like hell to keep wins paid for with lives, we can win more still.

At 18 years old I would step on a used needle at Hanlan's point & it would radicalized me towards harm reduction, drug decriminalization and further into my commitment towards abolition.

This was years before the illegal overdose prevention site at Moss Park. That moment changed so much for me.

It was the most likely outcome, but they are just using this to stoke fear and justify the police crackdown

They're still seeking a last minute injunction as of this morning

Ford's call for injunction against Al-Quds Day rally in Toronto is totally unprecedented.

Policing is, ofc, always exercise of policing power. But for provincial govt to seek injunction to shut down gathering before its even begun is wild.

Liberal democracies are a sham. Palestine will be free.

At the same time the canadian security agency and federal police have an expanded digital surveillance apparatus aimed at targeting dissidents and social justice organizers. Bill c-22 cements and codifies the collusion between big tech and government surveillance.

In the same week that parliament rejected bill c-233 - a legislation to stop the sale of Canadian weapons to the apartheid state & other oppressive regimes, this government has limited the ability of people to flee those same conflicts to find some relative safety here.

Canada just passed bill C-12 vastly increasing the power & impunity of immigration policing.

In a country which has ALWAYS had indefinite migration detention, these ghouls now have a myriad of new surveillance powers & technologies.

Many people will lose their status with the stroke of a pen.

For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.

Representation is a cheap substitute for freedom. There is no justice in seeing our faces colluding with and enabling our oppressors.

meet me by the sea!

In Iran, as in Sudan, decades of economic sanctions have made it so that the country relies on its internal capacity to produce food & medicine. Bombing pharmaceutical factories & flour mills echoes death for generations to come.

meet me by the sea

Overwhelmed with survival? struggling to stay on top of laundry in the midst of global crises? struggling to stay sane in the time of multiple genocides?

Comment "AAAHHHH" and I will set us both adrift at sea.

We should also retire any discourse about Canada as a "middle power" or a "new world order" or Carney's "leadership" or standing up to Trump. At every turn, regardless of who is in power so called Canada is a settler colonial project & continues fo behave as such.

At this point the sale of weapons by Canada to the apartheid state & other oppressive actors via the US can't be called a loophole. Voting down bill c-233 No More Loopholes Act is a willful act of political support for genocide & Imperialism.

Those of us with sense knew this was not an oversight.

Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 2026 The big picture on how many people are locked up in the United States and why

The number of people detained by ICE rose by an astonishing 58% (25,200) between 2025 and 2026; expanded immigration detention accounts for virtually all of the growth in mass incarceration since our last report. www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2...
