Um…bit bold to call the story I broke on Tuesday a “Star analysis” with zero credit to me!

Thoughtful look at the real point of regime violence against its own citizens.
'Structural violence is slow, often invisible, and lethal. Spectacle cannot be our measure of accountability. To prevent harm, we must confront not just bullets, but bureaucracy—the policies and political calculations that set violence in motion.'

Planning on going outside today? Wear the right gear to keep you warm, it’s -12°C and feels like -22 in Toronto 🥶
Planning on taking transit, then being inside public spaces all day? Wear the right gear like a K/N95 to keep you safe from viruses, it’s ‘Covid is high to severe season’ across Canada 😷

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS! I followed the reporting of Coastal Gaslink pipeline on Wetʼsuwetʼen territory in 2021, saw footage of RCMP busting thru the door of a shack with an axe to arrest Amber Bracken and others to shut down the story. The Narwhal has reported where MSM does not. May they prevail! ✊
