I’m ideologically a Queer Anarchist Feminist. I believe in leftist solidarity. Capitalism divided us; so like a rhizome we must grow into a garden of mutual aid. In the imperial core, we cannot exist as a united front, so we must embrace our diversity.
Solidarity forever. #leftnotliberal

Assata Shakur's story, Marian Jones writes in @teenvogue.com, is "also a reminder of the impact of COINTELPRO, and how it continues to impact activists today through technological surveillance, the criminalization of protest, and the targeting of dissidents." Shakur passed in Cuba on Friday.

Assata Shakur Was a Black Revolutionary Who Fought for Freedom Even in Exile

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.”

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and every other day, it is important to learn about Indigenous culture, listen, and reflect on the role we can play in reconciliation. We all have a responsibility to acknowledge the past and work towards a better future.

Their mission statement? “The mission of ARPA Canada is to educate, equip, and encourage Reformed Christians to political action, and to bring a biblical perspective to our civil authorities.” Also, “ARPA Canada is grounded on God’s infallible word.” Sound familiar? (I'll explain why they scare me.)

Our counterprotest demonstration earlier today against a hate rally calling for healthcare to be forcibly withheld from trans kids was attended by almost 100 participants.

The hate rally ended without meaningful impact. We built the connections necessary to safeguard trans rights for years to come.

Counterprotestors gather at Queen's Park with various hand-drawn signs, such as 'Trans Rights are Human Rights', 'Protect Trans Kids', 'Let Kids Be', 'Hate Rots the Soul', 'Mind Your Own Gender', 'Love Your Trans Kids' and 'God Loves Me'.

Counterprotestors march down College St east of Bay St. Signs include 'Leave Medical decisions to doctors + families', 'Gender Affirming Care Saves Lives', and 'Trans Rights Are Workers Rights'.

Counterprotestors march down College St east of Bay St. Signs include 'STOP telling trans youth that who they are is WRONG'.

Authentic Memes 4 Radical Teens @straythought.bsky.social · 25d

Tomorrow, a group of Christian Nationalists plan to hold a rally in Queens Park Toronto. The group organizing the rally is ARAP Canada, an anti abortion lobby. The Word on the Street festival is happening in the park as well. They are hiding behind the very deceptive title Let Kids Be.

We're counterprotesting a hate rally attempting to target trans kids' healthcare.
