I’m still enraged over that white supremacist gathering precisely when white canadians need to be shouldering the burden of a system that disappeared thousands upon thousands upon thousands of Indigenous children. These stupid nazi shitheads need to get fucked forever. 🖕

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

As a housebound person whose life mainly consists of pain, medication, doomscrolling, ADL chores, and tiny bits of giving help to community, I cannot express what a treat the new Crave series "Yaga" will be for me. Carrie-Anne Moss as a professor with a taste for younger men, and Hudson Williams.

This hasn’t made it to Bluesky yet but Mark Carney made a statement condemning the white supremacists who paraded around Kamloops on Sunday and targeted the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc community with offensive messages

The cowardly act that took place at Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc yesterday is abhorrent. It has no place in this country. My thoughts are with everyone who is shaken and hurt by this disgusting display of hate.

This week, we will mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is a stark reminder of our shared responsibility to confront the devastating legacy of the residential school system and the consequences still felt today. Courageous Survivors shared the truth so that all Canadians could take up the work of reconciliation.

police are still treating victims the same way they treated a little girl in Pennsylvania 53 years ago, a girl who is now a woman watching as the world has not changed for her daughter. we walk around carrying each others’ stories, hoping to warn each other in time.

Rising residential school denialism and anti-Indigenous racism have created an environment where white supremacists feel emboldened to target and intimidate First Nations in their communities. It’s disgusting and completely unacceptable.

It just struck me that throughout the Patient Zero MV, Taylor is the ghost of the ex-wife who mysteriously passed away? That's why Dakota doesn't ever see her or respond to her? 🕵 (Sorry, I was too excited to realize this until now 😅)
