I have just learnt that my younger brother has been arrested just for reporting truth on his independent media portal . Irony to hear that been arrested for “uploading anti-national content on social media.”

We are a nation where the president will come to our city to join a roundtable on gun violence but will not visit the jail that the policies they are discussing will fill. They talk about sending people ‘away’. There is no ‘away’. There is only somewhere else.

Today I read the introduction Angela Davis wrote to the new edition of her autobiography. I was really struck by the way she combines a spirit of generous appreciation with sharp criticism of her younger self. Lots to learn from this.

Thank you so much dear . The book is extraordinary and I urge everyone to order it and learn from Alaa Abd el-Fattah's hard-fought wisdom. #FreeAlaa

I just received Alaa Abd el-Fattah's 'You Have Not Yet Been Defeated", a collection of the Egyptian revolutionary's extraordinary jailhouse writing. I was so struck by @NaomiAKlein's preface, which is about revolution and defeat

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder, Minneapolis police pledged to limit their use of no-knock warrants. Then, in the span of 10 months from 11/20 to 8/21, they requested more than 90 such warrants. And this week they used one to kill a sleeping 22-year-old, then lied about it.

It’s just heartbreaking to see people try their hardest to reform a police department that can’t be reformed. “Defund the police” gets cast as unrealistic but this is the co-chair on the commission to improve police transparency and accountability pleading with cops to be honest

The wall in Al Ram displaced my family and killed off what used to be a commercial hub. Al Ram was the place for shopping for groceries, clothes, you name it. It was the place for fixing your car, getting the best kebab, and more. The apartheid wall does much more than separation

I don’t think people are angry enough that bridges are collapsing, thousands are homeless, millions are hungry, a pandemic is running rampant, teachers and nurses are leaving their professions, and our government’s response is to endlessly increasing funding for police and war.

Not true.
Since the murder of George Floyd the police have:
- received more money
- been given more power
- one of their own rabid sycophants running the biggest city in the country
- killed more people
- been busted in a fake vaccine ID card ring
- skirted vaccine mandates

Racism was already terrible enough, but the thing where now racists also hate and target hospitals/health care workers is a trash next step that I genuinely had not foreseen… sending solidarity to the health care workers at the counter protest in Toronto today.

A lot of people are looking at the Ottawa protests and asking, what are the police even for? But the police are telling us exactly what they are for. The real question should be, if this is what police are for, why should we have them?
