Zohran #Mamdani was just elected mayor of New York City!
It should now be a wake-up call to Canadian progressives — proving that people-first politics rooted in fairness, affordability, and real unity is the way forward.

Our meeting with Rümeysa Öztürk was a true testament to her character.
She remains kind-hearted and courageous, despite the cruelty she is enduring at the facility.
I asked her pointedly if she had a message for the people of Somerville, she said thank you for being her community.

One of the most clarifying things I've seen in the past few weeks is "de-escalate all conflict that is not with the enemy."

it is so frustrating to see so many takes from radical orgs today that the protests on saturday were bullshit because its all too status quo
this was mostly spontaneous action fueled by volunteers. people show up and our reflex is to tell them they did it wrong?
what alternative are we offering?

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”
The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

Fight fascism with climate justice, not 'Canada First' nationalism
Instead of turning towards nationalism, in the face of rising fascism, we should turn to each other and the planet.

It's true that bluesky isn't great for news and commentary about Palestine. Maybe it will get better, maybe it won't. But we have to keep trying because it's crucial to talk about Palestine precisely where it feels unwelcome.
