This applies to the international context as well. Instead of supporting the World Food Programme donate to the emergency response rooms in Sudan, which are mutual aid networks coordinated by local volunteers. They rely on the structures + networks of the revolutionary resistance committees. (1/2)

Baba Amr was one of the most brutalised towns in Homs. The Assad regime, Iran & Hezb pounded it so viciously - bombardment; massacres; sieges - before forcing her to succumb.
Now 13 years later, minarets in Baba Amr are reverberating with the proclamation of victory.

It’s fuck Amazon every day, but especially now through cyber Monday.
Amazon employees around the world are demonstrating between Black Friday and Cyber Monday to call for improved wages and working conditions, including unionization rights.

Workers are striking in 20 countries including the US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, Brazil, and India.

Chow duped so many people into voting for her but she's proven to have zero integrity and be an outright coward rolling over to whatever tf Doug et al say. Can't help but think how diff things would be if people voted for Chloe Brown instead like in 2022. Chow is really just insulting her base rn

There are other municipalities that are not happy with this (Kingston comes to mind). She should be leading a coalition of mayors and fighting back. Having even one major politician take a real stand could open up the gates for others to join in. There is zero reason for Chow not to fight this

I read this and think: Chow has to spend the political capital and fight Bill 212. It may be futile but not doing so will also have political costs. Just don't do it.
While she's made some questionable calls, I wish more politicians did what Hidalgo did: braving hatred by making pedestrian one of Paris major inner-city axes, transforming urban life for the better.
Finally saw the Paris transformation this summer, stunning. Along with Montreal, these two mayors smoked the anglosphere. I hope we see the likes of Hidalgo and Plante again, and often.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women—a day to reflect, raise awareness, and take action.

In Canada, 44% of women aged 15 and older—over 6 million—have experienced intimate partner violence and suffer in ways that leave lasting scars.

Whereas strict adherence to centrism is a failure. It's failing to protect life on Earth, failing to deliver on people's needs, and is losing elections to the far-right.

There's a strange idea among moderates that radicals take far left positions for the vibes, or to posture, or just because they're radical position. We take these stances because we want a livable planet, we want people to have good lives, and because in many cases they're winning positions.

I hate Doug Ford so much. There's nothing else to say here. He's a fucking ghoul. He is a terrible human being.

The province is going to force cities to remove bike lanes and charge us for it? This is cartoon villain bullshit.
