Mifflin Gibbs came to Canada for a better life. In that new life he prospered, becoming an activist, elected official and even played a role in getting British Columbia to join Canada. This is the story of one of BC's most important early residents. 🧵1/10

Black-and-white studio portrait of Mifflin Gibbs shown from the chest up, facing slightly to the left while looking toward the camera. He wears a dark suit jacket with a high-buttoned vest, a white shirt, and a patterned tie or cravat. He has short hair, a mustache, and a closely trimmed beard along the jawline. The background is plain and softly graded, with even lighting that highlights facial features and the texture of the suit.

Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.

>> ICE appears to be manually revoking students’ immigration status – an authority typically left to university staff. And some students and universities are not even being made aware of those revocations – setting students up to be taken by immigration agents without even knowing it was coming.
