Thanks to the roughly 60 people who took part in Toronto's solidarity ride for Alex Pretti, as well as to the over 100 other cities around the world who also hosted rides. Here's a video I recorded as the ride passed by Queen's Park. #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #VikingBiking #StopICE

Kenworthy Road is a place where people live and children go to school but the roads are still hostile and filled with fast traffic.
Mrs Murphy died here in 2009 and Harry Webb was killed in 2023, and yet nothing has really changed.

He never reached for his gun.
Agents sprayed/tackled him while his hands were up.
