"Justice delayed is justice denied, and once again, Indigenous families are left grieving while the system stands silent. This is more than a tragedy—it’s a scathing indictment of a system that fails First Nations people time and again," GCSP #bcpoli ubcic.bc.ca/fnlc_supports_fa…

Escalation in the Middle East is the direct result of Israeli impunity. The West in aiding and abetting Israel's genocidal war has pushed the entire world to the brink. As we reflect in these days of awe on the year that has past, our Judaism compels to peace. Only way forward!

Residential schools were a prison. I was alienated - I could not speak to my siblings in my language. When I went back home, people made fun of the fact I could not speak Inuinnaqtun. People called me a white woman.

kennedy stewart doesn't want us to become "political," he'd rather drug users simply roll over & die sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
The mayor of Vancouver at the time of application, Kennedy Stewart, did support the 2.5 g threshold. Stewart (2023 , p. 113) writes that “on many occasions,” he explained to “drug user advocates that the success of the application depended on maintaining the support of the Vancouver Police Department (VPD), and that the VPD would withdraw its support…if carry thresholds increased.”

@ParkBoard rangers function as prison guards in the daytime sheltering area of CRAB Park. They dictate what residents can own, where it can be stored, how long they can be away from their homes, and have the discretion to employ theft as punishment for perceived rule-breaking.
Nine police and park rangers face one direction in CRAB Park while they pressure a resident to comply with their orders.

Many voters just want drug users to die, or be banished from sight. That's not so surprising. What is disturbing is the number of politicians who are pandering to them. #necropolitics

Wells is the 8th First Nations person killed while interacting with RCMP and municipal police officers since Aug. 29. The deaths have upset and angered Indigenous leaders and politicians

And for the bootlicking creeps who come in with "he should have followed cop orders." He was. He was scared and told them several times he didn't want to die. And he was leaving the site as he was told to do. #ACAB
