Today marks one year since I was arrested outside of the courthouse after 13 days of protesting over the assault of Dalia Kafi by Calgary Police officer Alex Dunn. Alex is still employed. Dalia has since passed. And I have a 5-day trial for 7 charges.

Here at Edmonton’s Sacred Heart of the First Peoples Church where @Pontifex will visit Monday. Streets are blocked off & stationed with police. This area is usually filled with homeless people, most of them Indigenous, but it’s been cleared out… – at Edmonton, Alberta

Sean Chu was sworn in again one month ago. In that time, we paid him ~$9400 to lie, make his colleagues uncomfortable, and distract from important city business because he won’t do the right thing. Time to #ResignSeanChu. #ResignChu

Just a reminder that in order to enlist, statue Indians had to become enfranchised, giving up their status. This means that when they returned home, they weren’t allowed to move back to their reserve and lost any rights they had as a status Indian.

If any non-Indigenous folks want to practice reconciliation via generosity, donate to Indigenous folks. Indigenous friends, post your links here. No questions asked, no need for explanation. No trauma sharing necessary.

Frito Lays buying good press after their workers went on strike last month to protest their obscene working conditions: 84 hr work weeks, no paid over-time and in one instance, literally working a production line member to death.
This 13-year-old was paid $20,000 by Doritos after finding a perfectly puffy chip 😱

Have you noticed the people who don’t want to help refugees because we “have our own poor” also don’t want to help our own poor?

At powwows, the tiny tots category is the best. Sometimes babies fall over or just stand there. But we don't treat it as a joke. They get a real song. We honour their little dances. We love them! How utterly cruel that they knew that taking them would break us, again and again.
