Unfortunately no one on the ballot can be relied upon to do this. WHICH IS CRAZY. I mean anyone can make a statement, and they will, but nazis (!?) in town (!!!) calls for action, getting between the fascists and the non-white people they’re targeting. Sometimes bodily! And right away! #Kamloops

Artists, show us how you draw black women!
A digital sketch of a woman holding a sword, the sword's blade bisects the image, and the woman's head and body appear differently on either side of the sword. 
On one side, we see a woman clad in armour and adorned with flowers. On the other, a horned beast with its mouth open.

Here’s the thing about white supremacy in BC today: The Premier and opposition party have spent the last year saying “First Nations are coming for your homes. Private property is sacrosanct.” These politicians deny such statements are stoking racist backlash. But they are

As a child of a survivor of these hellish places called residential school, I can tell you with everything in me that the children who survived told the truth. Everything they said and what they didn't say, happened. We lived with the shell of the humans who came back. We know what they experienced.

Absolutely the fuck not, Lorne. You don’t get to participate professionally in the incitement and structural maintenance of anti-Indigenous racism and then pretend emboldened white nationalists are unexpected or unacceptable to you. No way.

The white nationalist gathering on Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc land this
morning was hateful and meant to intimidate. It has no place in British Columbia, and BC Conservatives condemn it completely. We stand with the people of Tk'emlúps, and we expect the RCMP to investigate fully.

A thing only hinted at in this video is that a lot of homeless people end up on the streets to escape from domestic situations that are full of violence &/or sexual abuse, to the degree that living on the street is an improvement. Next time you see a homeless person, consider what they're escaping.
