Jack Anawak says he doesn't know how people can deny what occurred at residential schools.  "It really is questionable to see whether the deniers really believe that or they just want to go through the process of assimilation and forget about the First Nations and Inuit," he said. "It is unbelievable to see that there's still that racism out there." Anawak, a longtime Nunavut politician who attended residential school at Chesterfield Inlet, said there are still people who believe residential schools were good for Indigenous people.

Earlier this month, Nunavut Sen. Nancy Karetak-Lindell, also a residential school survivor, brought forward an amendment to Bill C-9 — dubbed the Combating Hate Act — that would have made residential school denialism a crime. The bill would make it a criminal offence to promote hatred against identifiable groups using certain hate- or terrorism-related symbols.

Karetak-Lindell believes her amendment didn’t pass because of concerns over freedom of expression. She said she tried to put the amendment in similar terms as a Holocaust denialism bill that passed in 2022.

“We tried to put it in exactly the same wording as Holocaust denialism, so it's hard to understand how one can go through and be accepted and this not be,” she says.

Sean Carleton, an associate professor in history and Indigenous studies at the University of Manitoba, said Holocaust denialism being a crime when residential school denialism is not shows an imbalance of the law.

CeCe Rogers on Facebook writes: "Two Black Tennessee lawmakers were physically escorted out of chambers this week while Republicans quietly held a hearing to approve gerrymandered maps that would eliminate the state's only majority-Black congressional district.

No referendum. No special election. No public vote.

Because they know what happens when voters actually get a say — just look at Virginia, where the people spoke so loudly that Republicans had to drag the courts in to override them.

This isn't new. During Reconstruction, Black Americans held more congressional seats than at any point in the prior 90 years of American history. And white supremacists spent the next several decades tearing that down, through gerrymandering, poll taxes, and voter intimidation.

150 years later, the same tools. Different suits.

The audacity of escorting Black lawmakers out of their own chambers while dismantling Black political representation, and then telling us the courts aren't political, is breathtaking. These are the same courts they're counting on to make it stick.

The idea of bi women’s queerness is a state of limbo between lesbian and straight is some weird ass shit. Last month, I saw someone on twitter/shitter/x that Billie Ellish’s songs about admiring women felt forced and objectifying. It seems that the queer community has a tendency to view bisexuality in women has a nonexistent plane or forced like straight women have to walk to please men. Yall will scream from the roof tops “Sexuality and queerness are a journey of self discovery” until the person is a bi women and it gets worse if she’s BIPOC. Yall can’t seem to free yourself from the notion that bisexuality in women is dangerous or just a form of temptation for queer women and straight men. Yall are weird.

And another thing:

I just thought you'd like to know :D

I am Anas from the northern Gaza Strip. Since 11 months, we have been suffering from woes and woes of destruction, hunger, and displacement from one place to another.

For 11 months we have been suffering from hunger, thirst and deprivation of food and nourishment, until we have had to eat animal feed, donkeys and rabbits.

For 11 months we have been deprived of education and study and our dreams have already been destroyed in this war

We have been suffering from lack of income for 11 years.

Our small house and the agricultural land from which we obtained our daily sustenance, needs and daily income to survive were destroyed

But after the war destroyed the agricultural land and the small house, we lost the limited income we used to live on.

For 11 months we have been deprived of electricity and water, as we walk kilometers to get a gallon of water, which is equivalent to 16 liters for five people.
