My friend @harshawalia.bsky.social was arrested and charged, and another protester was brutalized today in Vancouver at a protest targeting Apple for profiting from death and exploitation in its supply chain. The protesters also called out Apple's support of Friends of the IDF.

During #COP30, Indigenous peoples from the Amazon rose up to demand an end to industrial expansion on their lands. One such project they were protesting was the Ferragrão Railway, which will aid continued industrial exploitation of the forest & threaten surrounding ecosystems

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
