Transit advocate, hockey fan ... BC transplant now living in Ottawa and fighting to build a better city. I have family in Minneapolis so I'm watching the occupation and their resistance carefully. Much love to those fighting back.

New Year's resolution for 2026 is to reduce endless scrolling and read some of the lovely books that my family has bought me. (Yes I am 100% aware of the irony of posting this to a social media site that I am slightly addicted to). New year, new habits. Well, old habits - I used to be a bookworm. 📚

This is a good time to volunteer. Many Community Aid organizations are overstressed and the original team of volunteers feel burned-out.

If you are ready to volunteer, you will be welcomed!

Aftercare volunteers are needed for families of the kidnapped.

One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

Seattle has a very strong protest network that has been growing. I need to look them up but @seattleindivisible.bsky.social is a good starting point. ICE has mainly been on the outskirts - all the suburbs, along Aurora Ave N, and this week they were on The Ave trying to harass the restaurant owners

I know that there's A LOT going on ... all over the place and it's easy to sink into doom. For me personally, getting involved in local advocacy groups does wonders for my mental health. So much healthier than doom scrolling! Look up a local group and ask them what they're doing and what they need.

If you're looking to donate to activists in Minneapolis, I trust this group and encourage you to donate to it. And if you cant send money, organize locally!

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists

Alex Pretti was a nurse who worked for the VA.

Stephen Miller has to be removed from power. Impeach, remove, prosecute. He has to go.

Alex Pretti, the man shot by ICE in Minneapolis, appears to have previously worked with the federal government at the VA.

There is a photo of him on the VA website, where he’s cited as part of a medical research team.
