Dear Settlers, 1. Read the #RCAP report. 2. Then read the #TRC reports. 3. Then the #MMIWG report. In that order. (links below)
By the way, this is the size of Gaza. Basically a train ride from Brooklyn to Yonkers. Now imagine this slice of NYC being subjected to the equivalent of 6 Hiroshima bombs, mass starvation, drones sniping children, hospitals demolished, and aid workers massacred.
It's very simple. And it has nothing to do with whether you think Israel has the right to exist, or antizionism is antisemitism or Hamas's responsibility. Do you or do you not believe children should be starved to death for the crime of being born in Gaza. That's it.
Yeah....cute....but.....unless you belong to a specific Indigenous nation and have been through the type of naming ceremony required - you don't have a 'Spirit Animal'. Little slight. But a slight nonetheless. Disappointing. We are still here, and we aren't your play things
there’s no such thing as “sex” with a 15 year old girl that’s called rape a child cannot consent
Of course. For Women, this is a successful survival strategy.
Have you ever been in a sketchy, unwanted or unpleasant situation with a man and had to chuckle and smile your way thru it just so you could survive the interaction? I’m trying to see something.
Reem Alsalem, United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, explains why Palestinian women and girls are deliberate targets for the Israeli army.
BINGO!
In this current era, we are far more interested in altering the particular individual who is driven into pain & suffering, than in collectively altering the social realities that have driven them there.
BREAKING: 🚨 🇮🇱 Israel just Illegally kidnapped the crew of the Handala.
Come and get it....
The only Native American band to reach Top Five on Billboard Hot 100, here's Redbone performing in 1974 with a powwow dance intro.
HORRIFIC: Apocalyptic scenes from Gaza. Starving civilians waiting for aid trucks, surrounding them, climbing on them, desperate for anything to eat The famine is intensifying as thousands of children are on the verge of death - Israel is deliberately starving them
I detest psychiatry because, to protect their “expertise,” they’ve made us forget an elemental truth: your mental health rests on -What you eat -How you move -Who you surround yourself with -Your means of livelihood… If we remembered this, their whole industry would collapse.
Agreed. They are neoliberal individualists. Capitalists. Each one their own brand with a corresponding paypal and venmo. No depth at all.
liberal feminism has eroded class consciousness in women so much to the point of embracing collectively detrimental acts and the whittling away of our basic human rights as harmless
When I was 17 I was date raped. I was drunk. He drugged me. I was incapable of consent. I woke up to him telling me to “just let him finish”. I didn’t report because I was an “imperfect victim” Today sets a terrible precedent for women like me and EM and future victims.
While the five junior hockey players were acquitted of sexual assault, their actions that terrible night remain reprehensible...
Good luck, Settler.
BREAKING: Canada will now require unanimous First Nations approval for all major projects. That’s like needing 338 MPs to agree on a bill. Never gonna happen. Carney didn’t greenlight reconciliation. He greenlit paralysis.
I call it a 'Smug".
What's the collective noun for white middle class do-gooders?
Politics amongst the "Haves" that is what is up. The phrase 'divide and conquer' is overused these days....but it really fits here. Continued attempts to place wedges between the young and the old so that the filthy rich can continue with their plunder. #Cdnpoli
What's up with blaming seniors for Canada's housing woes? IMHO, when we get to the point where we're blaming 80-year-old Gramps for not selling his 900 sq ft bungalow in the neighbourhood he's lived in for 50 years to move into the shoebox downtown- we've lost the plot.
Patriarchy is as patriarchy does.
It is insane how much yall hate women. Doxxing an entire app because they were warning each other about potentially shitty partners is insane
The Hockey Canada verdict is a disgrace. 5 men walk free—not because the truth wasn’t horrifying, but because EM “wasn’t credible enough.” How familiar. When will we stop requiring survivors to be perfect to be believed? We stand with survivors. Always. #hockeycanadatrial
