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. 📚
I love that all these lovely, sweet accounts on Instagram are posting things like "Cats are political because you can't cuddle them if ICE kills you." Time for decent people to say, ICE is bad. I love to see it! ❤️

Members of US Holocaust Memorial Museum governing board are trying to oust Bernie Sanders, whose Polish Jewish family was murdered in the Holocaust, from the governing board, because he called Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide. www.jpost.com/diaspora/art...

According to records the New York Post claims to have been supplied, Sanders has not attended a single one of the biannual meetings since he was appointed to the position 18 years ago.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

This current regime does not understand THE most basic common denominator about our society: we have spent 60 YEARS bound together by pop entertainment showing us a positive future (Star Trek) counterbalanced by the evil Empire (Star Wars) & a whole slew of dystopian futures (Hunger Games et al) 🧵

Sad to hear of the passing of former MP Kirsty Duncan. We were elected the same year and served through 5 Parliaments. Kirsty’s intelligence, kindness, positivity, and commitment to Canada were an inspiration to us all. Deep condolences to Kirsty’s family, friends and colleagues.

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
