Headline, image, caption, and text published by: Leyland Cecco. “Canada: hummingbirds succeed in halting controversial pipeline construction.“ The Guardian. 28 April 2021.
——-
ok, but why was years of sustained and impassioned actions and resistance from Secwempec, Salish, and other Indigenous peoples along the route of the pipeline not enough to halt construction?
suddenly Canadian institutions are like “we can ignore continued pleas from First Nations, Secwempec homes built along the route, RCMP attacks on Indigenous camps in brutal mid-winter conditions and other state violence against Indigenous land defenders, BC’s Highway of Tears and missing and murdered Indigenous women, the felling of both inland and coastal temperate rainforest sacred to Indigenous peoples, and attempts by Indigenous peoples within BC borders to manage their own land for stuff like harvesting berries and protecting caribou herds … but we can’t ignore legally-compelled bureaucratic assessments of one of the few creatures the government chooses to acknowledge as worth considering which will, in the end, after the paperwork is filed, result in no change, death of hummingbirds regardless, and continued pipeline construction.”
this is literally that ‘i can excuse racism but draw the line at animal cruelty’ meme
Transcript:
James Baldwin: A cop is a cop.
Nikki Giovanni: Well, a cop is a white man. [Laughter]
Baldwin: And you know, yeah, and he may be a very nice man, but I haven't got time to figure that out. All I know is he has a uniform and a gun, you know, and I have to relate to him that way, you know. That's the only way to relate to him, at all. Because one of us is gonna--One of us may have to die.
Giovanni: You know, in New York, there's a big campaign going on to humanize the, uh, policemen. And they have posterboards--uh, billboards up state, and they have a picture of this BIG cop bending over this little blonde girl, and the signs say "a nd some people call him pig." And I wanted to buy--I told a friend of mine I wanted to buy a billboard and show this big cop and this 14 year old kid with thirty bullets in him, and say "and some people call him peacemaker."
Also, from the tweet linked in the notes I found this article on the above conversation, which gives context and includes a link to the full video.
DEREK CHAUVIN WAS FOUND GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS.
[id: a tweet by @ACLU (header name "ACLU [verified checkmark]") that reads:
"BREAKING: Derek Chauvin has been convicted of the murder of George Floyd.
For the first time in Minnesota state history, a white police officer has been held accountable for killing a Black man." end id]

‘This is not just the men’s protest. We toil on the fields alongside the men. Who are we—if not farmers?'
since the farmer protests are still going strong everyone should read this article highlighting the role of women sustaining and radicalizing the movement
The women see themselves differently too. In Tikri, Sudesh Kandela, a 55-year-old farmer from Haryana, watches a play being staged by a local theater group, enraptured by the spectacle. “I didn’t know what I was capable of beyond the expectations of me as a woman, a wife and mother,” says Kandela, who had never before been to a protest or taken her veil off outside her home. “But I am here now,” she says, clenching her fists, “and I cannot be oppressed. I cannot be intimidated. I cannot be bought.”
godtier tweet
Omo, na d last line off me pass🤣🤣🤣.
I hate twitter leftists so fucking much. There's a guy in Brooklyn Center who gave an interview on the news, face exposed, held up a can of soup and looked directly in the camera and said "this is soup for my family" and then winked to the camera. The reporter asked "you're not going to throw that at police, are you?" And he said "it's for my family." Twitter leftists respond to this by all coming out and saying he's hot and wanting to fuck him.
What he did was go on national television, with his face exposed, and said he was going to attack police officers. He just endangered everyone he organizes with. He will be identified, not just by police, and they're gonna use that to target people around him. He is putting the lives of his entire crew at risk because he wanted to say the funny meme on television and decided to expose his face to do it. DO NOT FUCKING DO SHIT LIKE THIS. DO NOT ENCOURAGE BULLSHIT LIKE THIS. IT IS AN INFOSEC NIGHTMARE AND YOU ARE GOING TO GET YOUR FRIENDS SPECIFICALLY TARGETED BY POLICE. NOT ONLY WILL THEY HARASS YOU AFTER THE FACT, THEY WILL SPECIFICALLY AIM FOR YOU WITH RIOT MUNITIONS. THIS ISN'T A FUCKING GAME.
Also he’s literally the only person visible in-frame that isn’t even wearing a medical mask. You know. So he doesn’t spread the plague. Like I guess he could be vaccinated? but literally everything about this is indescribably fucking stupid. It makes me angry as hell.
Hey so I found his twitter. It’s all him posting pictures of him on TV, retweeting drawings people made of it, retweeting gifs, making quips all about “soup for my family.” He even has “#soupformyfamily” in his bio and states an organization that he’s president of! He has 4 tweets from prior to the last 24 hours, everything from the last 24 hours on all accounts being him promoting himself as #SoupForMyFamily to try and get clout from this. He’s liked 5 tweets and one was Obama announcing the “Obama Presidential Center” which seems odd for a “soup for my family” kinda guy. His follower count is EXPLODING on twitter right now and the only accounts he follows are national industry unions, nothing expressly socialist (AFL-CIO, Teamsters etc). All his social media only goes back as far as 11/20/2020. But if you google his name you can see that he’s been a political organizer for a couple years, he’s presented a bill to state legislators and written an article or two, so this feels like it’s just a stunt to establish himself. His infosec is trash. I know his name. I know where he organizes. I know roughly how old he is. I know what highschool he went to. I know what his fuckin cat looks like. And I’m just some prick! What about cops? What about fascists?
Don’t enable this. Don’t encourage this. Don’t act like this is cute. At best this guy just painted a target on everyone in his communication network.
I hate these fucking cannibals so fucking much
Love that AOC became Nancy-Pelosi-In-Waiting so goddamn fast
“[I]t would be absurd on our part to hold a grudge against the socialist leaders who, finding themselves caught up in the electoral machine, end up being gradually transformed into nothing more than bourgeois with liberal ideas. They have placed themselves in determinate conditions that in turn determine them. The consequences are inevitable.”
–Elsée Reclus, “Evolution, Revolution, and the Anarchist Ideal” (1898)
When the government won't save us, we have to save ourselves.
Texas may have warmed back up to its normal temperatures, but across the state, homes are still waterlogged, scant belongings beginning to molder. The flow of mutual aid hasn’t stopped, though; it keeps pace with need. Like the anarchist organizers who jury-rigged solar power grids for villages in Puerto Rico when the island’s electrical authority neglected them for nearly a year; like the community fridges across the country that have fed the unhoused and the needy since the pandemic’s beginning, as we approach its anniversary in the United States; Texans are finding alternative sources of power in the bonds between one another, in the state’s absence.

how to disarm Boston Dynamics drone dog
Europeans: “I don’t understand you Americans, if your working conditions, wages, and social safety net are so bad, why do you not simply unionize or strike?”
Americans:
Also there’s literally so many restrictions on unions and strikes at this point that striking on any significant scale is nearly de facto illegal
Remember, folks: they wouldn’t be so afraid of it if it didn’t work. The IWW will give you the support and resources you need to organize
Amazon workers in Alabama are attempting to unionize
tweet
Amazon is texting workers multiple times a day.
Amazon has anti-union posters in the bathrooms.
Amazon managers are using temp workers to advertise “Vote No” on unionizing, knowing they’re leveraging economic power and vulnerability.
Amazon and the city traffic management colluded to change the traffic signals so that drivers have no time to stop and talk to union organizers.
Workers begin voting Monday (2/8/21) on whether or not to unionize. This would be the first union in Amazon.
This comes days after it was revealed Amazon was stealing drivers’ tips.

On an average night in 2019, there were 949 children behind bars in Australia – more than half of them were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
Of all 10-year-olds incarcerated, 80% were Aboriginal children.
Aboriginal kids make up only 6% of all 10- to 17-year-olds in Australia but they are 54% of the juvenile detention population.
They are jailed at 22 times the rate of non-Indigenous young people. And they are jailed younger. In 2019 nearly 65% of children under 14 in detention were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
Study after study has shown that contact with the criminal justice system at a young age can do lasting damage to children, their families and communities. […] According to a 2016 report by the Sentencing Advisory Council, 94% of children in detention aged 10 to 12 returned to prison before they were 18. […]
Aboriginal children are also disproportionately targeted by punitive policing. In New South Wales, for example, Indigenous kids are significantly overrepresented in the number of strip-searches conducted by police.
NSW police have also been operating a secretive blacklist known as the suspect target management plan, or STMP, largely made up of Indigenous children – 72% – deemed to be at risk of committing crimes. The NSW Law Enforcement Conduct Commission found that many of the children, some as young as nine, had not been charged with a crime and were not aware they were a target.
Between 2017 and 2019 the state’s highest concentration of kids subject to the STMP were in the western Sydney suburb of Mount Druitt. At 13 [I.S.] was strip-searched by police on his way to the shops in the suburb. [I/S/] says he was told to strip down to his underpants on the side of a busy road. “It was embarrassing,” he says. “I didn’t know what to do so I just complied.” [I.S.] doesn’t know if he was on the STMP but says there were periods when police stopped him almost daily. One day he was stopped twice, by the same officers. The first time he was strip-searched. […]
Increasing the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14 could lead to a decrease of about 15% in the number of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in detention, according to the 2020 Productivity Commission report […]. But governments – with the exception of the Australian Capital Territory’s – are reluctant to act […]. Queensland’s attorney general […] said bluntly: “There are no plans to raise the age of criminal responsibility in Queensland.” […]
All but one of the 32 kids now in juvenile detention in the NT are Aboriginal boys.
There have been numerous times over the past decade when every single child in detention in the territory is Aboriginal.
The restorative justice program is available in 12 NSW local courts. The magistrate works with Aboriginal elders, victims and the offender’s family to determine an appropriate sentence. […] Some states also have their version of the NSW youth Koori court […]. But the youth worker [D.D.] says […] “I want to stop people from ever going to court. I want to stop us focusing on having culturally safe courts, when really we need to have culturally safe communities […].” [T.W.] says therapeutic approaches are needed […].
“When do we lose our compassion for a child who is being abused or traumatized […]?” she asks. “Well, effectively Australia says we lose that compassion at [age] 10.”
