@evansolomon.bsky.social is my MP. We all need to express our concern that Canadian built vehicles are killing innocents in the mid-east and in Minneapolis.
The company will move production overseas in response, but at least ICE will pay more for their vehicles.
Canadian-built Roshel armored vehicles are being used by ICE right now in Minneapolis, including in today's operation where ICE murdered someone else.

I wrote about this company in December. And we know this thanks to the work of World Beyond War Canada.

Hootsuite is also working with ICE.

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!

Wow.
People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is.

"That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

I haven't been lobbied to write about any issue as much as people are lobbying me to write about Iran. I am working on something but not because of the pressure.
American officials kill 2 people, Nora gets outraged.

IRGC kills over 20,000, Nora is silent.

Seeing another murder in Minneapolis, it's impossible to not feel deep despair. It is dangerous to protest ICE.

This is why economic action is so critical -- general strikes, not protests, is the only thing that can defeat fascism.

I have 4 or 5 Paul Robeson albums and in one of them, he sings about America to him means the right to speak your mind -- the audience erupts in applause -- his live performances make you think you're there with them.

My Nonna said to me was the most famous man in the world for a time.
Paul Robeson died 50 years ago today.

Can you imagine being the most famous Black person in the world at one point, only to die in near obscurity?

The American government made sure no one would remember one of the greatest Americans to ever live.

He was 77

Why do people reply to me but then talk to me in the third person? Also I'm relieved that I wasn't present for that, honesty.

Here's my analysis of Mark Carney's speech. The PMO gets TikTok if they refuse to let me in to actually write about it.
