“Canada is not a benevolent nation-state,” @harshawalia.bsky.social says. It is an imperial power. Canadian mining interests, arms transfers, and foreign policy – including in places like Palestine – have historically and continue to produce displacement and deprivation elsewhere in the world.” 🔥🔥🔥

"You know, I believe that the Twin Cities represents the best of America on a fundamental level." "Why is that & how so?" "Because we represent this idea of embracing others from other places." Minnesotans are enacting a powerful vision of America in the face of authoritarian state violence.

If anyone wants them for this Saturday October 18 #NoKings protests, these elements from my comic on Due Process are all available on my site for downloading/printing, sharing in whatever form folks want. Be Loud for Democracy! spinweaveandcut.com/due-process/
A small comics panel, with a drawing of a King ace of spaces playing card drawn in the style of traditional playing cards, but with the features of King George III, and the upper portion resembles Trump. Excerpts from the Declaration of Independence are written small around the card. Each of these phrases refers specifically to the injustices imposed by the King (and connect to this current moment – references to Tariffs, to transporting us overseas…)single image closeup on the face of lady justice, in the background, all dark, human figures, faceless prisoners, seated, packed tightly together, bodies merging into a sea of heads, with each figure’s head another’s back. At top in large letters right above her head, text reads "Due process is not optional"
A smaller caption box centered on her face where her blindfold would be reads: "No matter who you are."

The aid that global health has depended on so much and for so long was never purely humanitarian. It was always strategic: it came with strings attached. @vidyakrishnan.bsky.social writes:

By slashing teams that gather critical data, the Trump administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades: propub.li/3RZzqHP 📽️: @josesepulveda.bsky.social

Little has been said about post-secondary education this election. But students themselves are paying attention. thetyee.ca/News/2025/04...

It must be difficult to see all the capaciousness that comes with being queer – all the potential, the joy – and compare it to your own small life, one increasingly defined by a toxic, rigid definition of masculinity that requires aggression, cruelty, and isolation. At the same time, you have to work to be left behind in these moments – to see the possibilities of queer futures as excluding you rather than enjoying all it has to offer in terms of how we understand what it means to be a person, a family, a community.
