Another huge and chilling escalation from Smyth and the WPS, describing a peaceful protest against the arrest of an Indigenous warrior as being "incited" and HQ as being "besieged" and "swarmed." This is racist dehumanization, and rhetorical build-up for greater police violence.

I’ve never had one of these tags on my bin before. @cityofwinnipeg can you tell me what it means?
Orange tag affixed to handle of garbage bin. Text reads: Winnipeg Sorry, we couldn't empty your cart today because: The city's empathy is damaged or missing parts. There wasn't enough space in Winnipeg decision-makers' hearts to accommodate a search for missing loved ones. The priorities were facing the wrong way. The city's actions should point towards justice and human decency. Placing the priorities backwards can damage the community. The racism was overflowing. Racism must be completely smashed or we risk damage when it flies freely. Budget was placed ahead of human decency. The buck was passed either by the city (e.g., Scott Gillingham, Winnipeg Police) or province (e.g., Heather Stefanson, Kelvin Goertzen). | Unacceptable callousness was on display (Loved ones are left buried amongst garbage, hazardous waste, construction materials). If you have any questions about this notice: • contact 311 • visit winnipeg.ca/waterandwaste

#CovidIsNotOver and yet there’s not a single clinic in this entire town to get next booster. For months now. And we have an actual hospital. #covid19bc #publichealthfail #disabled

A staggering 81,000 people who contacted the "confidential" #988Lifeline in the past 10 months got devices traced, unwanted police visits, and detentions in psychiatric hospitals. Details in my new article via @Mad_In_America madinamerica.com/2023/05/psy…

Psychiatric Detentions Rise 120% in First Year of 988

As contacts to the new 988 suicide hotline number have risen, so have call tracing and police interventions.

Living with autoimmune shit means dealing with non-infectious inflammation in one part of your bod, while ending up with acute infection somewhere else *while on antibiotics*. Riddle me that.

Bald-faced Canadian necropolitics in all it's ghoulish horror. Not even hypothetical. This is already happening. MAiD is the poverty reduction strategy that has gotten the most traction from the Canadian state in decades. Stand on guard for thee. nationalpost.com/news/canada…

One third of Canadians fine with prescribing assisted suicide for homelessness

This is what happened after the UCP got in. See the spike after 2019 after the closure of SCSs happened? No amount of announcements or tokenism will bring back those we lost.

Reminder that centrism usually just means abandoning marginalised people so you can seperate them from and further your own interest.

Democrats need to once more become the party that gets stuff done, builds things and makes government work for people. That’s a lot more important to most Americans than using the right pronouns. My latest column: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
