"β€œThey’re pretty forward about what they are up to,” @ameil-joseph.bsky.social said.

β€œWhat’s worrying is how little is being done in response to it.”"

Discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability cannot be assessed without historical analysis. Historical impacts and outcomes are why those forms of discrimination exist.

From the overt racism at the top, to those who do it in secret, all the way to those in our everyday that do and say nothing to intervene, all of it harms. For those who live it, it is awful everyday, everytime.

For those (of us) who have researched, published books, chapters, Journal articles, conference papers on racist immigration violences, including deportation and detention, your work is needed now more than ever. Share it, wield it, care with it.

So he made up a board, invited mostly war criminals to be on it, called it a board of peace, which does not exist as anything right now. Then, un-invited Canada...and that is international mega news?

There is nothing novel about calling the rules-based order a useful fiction. Postcolonial, TWAIL, and critical race scholarship built this critique. What’s novel is watching it reappear stripped of names, histories, and accountability.

I wonder if he understands that the useful fiction he is referring to is colonial capitalism. Yes, it does not and cannot work.

Thousands of federal government workers receive layoff notices - National | Globalnews.ca The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada said federal government workers are being forced into a 'Hunger Games-style fight for jobs.'

Over 10000 people fired over the last year and this happening again, and again until 2029.

Anyone that tells you this is good is a liar and a terrible human.

Blaming innocent people for when cops kill or brutalize them is and has always been a deeply dishonourable, repugnant gaslight.

It is deeply worrying how startled so many are when racist colonial capitalism violently advances as it was designed to as though something else was before them. Conquest via supremacy is its project. We need to educate in ways that help more see this and to imagine differently.

Canadian neo-Nazi was β€˜man behind the curtain’ of global terror attacks, Crown says, calling for 20-year sentence Niagara man Matthew Althorpe β€œunleashed something that cannot be stopped,” a prosecutor told the judge.

β€œHe’s unleashed something that cannot be stopped,”

And it hasn't. All of this continues unaddressed.

"Althorpe also recruited a small group of neo-Nazis in the Greater Hamilton area to train them as a militia, taking them on hikes and engaging in mixed martial arts"

I guess appeals for Nations like England, France, The Netherlands, or Spain, to intervene on the current attempt from the US to attack and steal from South America would be a stretch, as they made themselves via doing the same.

White supremacist organizing, training, policy making, country leading, deporting, imprisoning, banning, all need to be stopped.

We cannot live like this, work like this, breathe like this.

Mayors urge Ontario to declare state of emergency to address homelessness, addiction The mayors of Ontario's 29 largest cities are calling on the province to declare a state of emergency as municipalities deal with what they call a "community safety and humanitarian crisis" created by...

I mean, maybe the hunting down & criminalizing of people living outside, trashing their encampments, & closing safe consumption sites needs their action instead of declaring an emergency of their making.

November 15 marked a full three years in my role as Councillor for Ward 2. Every year, around this time, I write about another year gone by, what I’ve learned in this job, what people tell me when they see me at a meeting, stop me in the street, or share their thoughts with me in an email. #HamOnt
