Some songs you simply hear ... but "We Are The Fire" is one you feel deep in your soul.

These lyrics are 🔥 and 🔥 melts 🧊

#FuckICE #WeAreTheFire

They don’t care about us. The masters of the planet. The political establishment.

Wake up. Accept the hard truths.
We are on our own.
So we must take care of each other.

#WeAreTheFire #StillHere

Billion-dollar corporations spend billions on ads—but balk at paying living wages.
Leadership means seeing the unseen.
#Leadership #LivingWage #Justice #WeAreTheFire

Corporations spend billions convincing us to buy their products—
but fight against paying workers enough to live.

It isn’t about resources. It’s about priorities.
Why support corporations that don’t support us?

#LivingWage #WorkersRights #EconomicJustice #WeAreTheFire

Hidden and unhealed trauma is devastation.
It doesn’t stay buried. It leaks. It damages.
What we don't heal, we repeat—or destroy.

#TraumaRecovery #TwoSpirit #MentalHealth #HealingInPublic #WeAreTheFire

I walked into churches, temples, Pride, Indigenous orgs—places that claimed “inclusion.” I walked out feeling invisible.

Gatekeeping isn’t community.

If your welcome has conditions, it’s not love.

#TwoSpirit #AutismAcceptance #RadicalBelonging #WeAreTheFire

Factory-fed privilege:
Sitting in cars, eating full meals…
while a hungry human stands feet away, unseen.

This isn’t just disconnect.
It’s moral decay.
#WeAreTheFire #HomelessNotHopeless #LateStageCapitalism #DignityForAll

Skid Rows beside skyscrapers. And we call this normal?
This isn’t leadership — it’s privilege.
Tents on one street. Towers on another.
Don’t tell me it’s complicated.
What’s complicated is watching human suffering and doing nothing.

#WeAreTheFire #StillHere

Billions in profit.
People starving outside.
That’s not a glitch.
That’s colonial capitalism.
Support community.
#WeAreTheFire #SupportCommunity #Decolonize #EndPoverty

Stay strong. Stay human. The future still belongs to the brave.

#HopeWins #WeAreTheFire #UnitedForTomorrow

Unseen. Unheard. Unthanked.
Still, they rise.

The powerful want us divided + distracted.
But we were never meant to survive alone.

We rise together—or not at all.

#WeAreTheFire #RiseTogether #UnseenAndUnthanked #IAmTheFire #CollectivePower

Stop trying to name our teachings in your language.
Some truths aren’t meant to be translated — they’re meant to be lived.
Decolonize your mind.
Learn to listen without needing to define.

#Decolonize #IndigenousWisdom #TwoSpirit #WeAreTheFire

We don’t rise alone.
We build bridges with our hands, our stories, our strength.
Connection is how we cross the impossible.
Together is how we rise.

#WeAreTheFire #BridgeBuilders #TwoSpiritVoices #ConnectionIsPower

They built statues.
We carry memory.

Colonialism tried to bury us under marble and myth—
but truth cracks through.
We are still here. Still rising.

#Decolonize #IndigenousVoices #WeAreTheFire #ArtAsResistance

The battle isn’t over.
Not for land. Not for truth. Not for our children’s future.
Art is a weapon. Culture is resistance.
We’re still here—still rising.
#IndigenousResistance #WeAreTheFire #TruthAndPower #TheBattleIsntOver

Not all churches are safe.
Especially for us—Two-Spirit, Indigenous, neurodivergent, survivors of residential schools.
Faith without justice is colonization.
Land acknowledgments mean nothing without change.
We deserve truth, safety, and healing.

#WeAreTheFire #ChurchTrauma

🔥 The Fire Behind the Fire What people see:

The part no one sees:
The FOIP letters.
The late-night emails.
The silence.
Leadership isn't just speaking—it's surviving the grind that makes the speaking possible.
This is the fire behind the fire.

Some Indigenous confederacies or spiritual societies (e.g., Iroquois Confederacy, Zapatistas, Ubuntu-based societies) are often cited as alternatives to empires—but they were community-oriented, decentralized, and rarely expansionist.

#WeAreTheFire
#IndigenousVoices
#Decolonize

Empires inherently centralize power—military, economic, and ideological. This invites exploitation, hierarchy, and repression, even if the original intentions were noble or stabilizing.

#decolonize
#WeAreTheFire
#IndigenousVoices

Empires rise on bones and fall into silence.
But the land never forgets.
No matter the flag, the throne, or the crown—
if power is built on domination,
the Earth will one day call it to account.

#WeAreTheFire
#Decolonize
#IndigenousVoices

We are not broken.
We are not disposable.
We carry the fire—through the silence, the shutdowns, the stairs with no ramps, the clinics that don’t listen, the systems that weren’t built for us.

Disabled. Marginalized. Still standing. Still burning.

#WeAreTheFire #DisabledAndResilient #StillHere

Two-Spirit Firekeepers Canada 🔥
A circle for all Two-Spirit kin who’ve been erased, sidelined, or left out—by systems, communities, or even queer spaces.
We gather in truth, ceremony, and kinship.
No gatekeeping. No hierarchy. Just sacred fire.
#TwoSpirit #FireKeepers #WeAreTheFire

I don’t debate human worth.
I don’t reason with racism.
I don’t soften truth for bigots.
If you’re spewing hate—misogyny, homophobia, transphobia—I want no part of you.
Name the poison. I’ll name the fire.
We rise, we burn, we end this.
#WeAreTheFire #StillHere

🔥 As a Two-Spirit Indigenous trauma survivor, I sought therapy under National Truth & Reconciliation. Instead, I was shamed + told “find another therapist” by a non-Indigenous psychologist. We deserve real cultural safety. We are still here.

#TwoSpirit #StillHere #WeAreTheFire

Perpetualism isn't a dream. It's a decision.
We're not waiting for the world to end.
We're choosing to outlive collapse.
To build. To adapt. To endure.
Not because it's easy, because it's necessary.

Humanity doesn't need to fade. We need to evolve.
#Perpetualism #FutureProof #WeAreTheFire

Stop wasting energy on small things that divide us. Who cares if someone uses AI, what they wear, or what they believe? What about poverty, hunger, war, climate collapse? Why is it always 10% doing the work, and 90% sitting back pointing fingers? Bridge build — or step aside. #WeAreTheFire

Without workers, there’s no business — no profits, no need for WCB.

Yet when a worker is injured, the system they helped sustain turns on them. We need to name this injustice and demand systems that protect people, not just profits. #WorkersRights #StillHere #WeAreTheFire

When you see through the illusion, you stop chasing belonging.
No more small talk. No more pretending.
It’s not loneliness—it’s freedom.
A deeper love. A quieter truth.
#Awakening #Leadership #WeAreTheFire

I don’t want to be seen as above anyone. Just useful.
Most people don’t need fixing—they need to be seen.
So I speak to lift, not lecture.
To bridge, not break.
Because I know how it feels to be unheard.
You matter. You’re not alone.
