“Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power — not because they don't see it, but because they see it and they don't want it to exist." -bell hooks

Today, alongside another comrade, we interrupted the flag raising ceremony organized by @FierteCapPride at @ottawacity Hall. We were shut down quickly by the many invited uniformed cops in attendance and the queer traitors who champion corporate and genocidal pride celebrations

A thread on why Canada isn’t even real: Legally, Canada holds absolutely NO TITLE to the Land. Even though they play it out like they do.

@InkdWordSlinger @Laurier @PatChComedy Congratulations! We are so excited for you! ❤️

Along with the @uOttawaTCC, we want to thank @iamsheba at @uOttawaEdu for such a beautiful keynote at the BIPOC Summit! We are always in awe of your brilliance, and cannot wait to work with you again in the near future! Thank you for being such a pillar of support! 🥰

Just one more day until the BIPOC Summit! 😍 Join us tomorrow to share space as BIPOC students to think about our scholarship and writing, and there's no one better to learn from/with than the brilliant @iamsheba. 😊 Register here: smore.com/cfpnb

We must understand abortion criminalization as a part of a larger web. There are many sites and mechanisms of criminalization of reproductive autonomy—which means many points and opportunities for intervention. bit.ly/ResistingCrim

Know who definitely can’t travel for abortions? Pregnant people in prisons and jails. As we work to fight the impact of a decision that essentially amounts to judicial rape, I hope there are more abolitionist feminists today than yesterday. #abolitionnow

The University of Ottawa is proud to announce the appointment of our next Chancellor: Claudette Commanda, a @uocommonlaw and @uOttawaArts alumna and dedicated promoter of #FirstNations rights, history and culture. 🔗 www2.uottawa.ca/about-us/media…

Adaawewigamig is now open 7 days a week in the Byward Market, located on Unceded Algonquin Territory. We are open from 10am-6pm! Our storefront is Indigenous owned, operated and staffed with all proceeds going a back to A7G. Every purchase supports Indigenous youth!

I want to address white people who built successful careers off of "studying" Black, Latinx, and/or Indigenous communities: have you offered space/training opportunities/mentoring/tangible resources to members of the community whose suffering you benefit from? If not, why not?

@nick_ngafook @aaron_sardinha @awadibrahim @RuthKane06 @uOttawaEdu @OCDSB @jacqueline6219 Yay! We're super delighted for you, @aaron_sardinha! We're rooting for you and your continued success! 🥰

Just one week until the BIPOC Summit! If you're a BIPOC student interested in writing and publishing, join us on June 27 from 6-8 PM EST. For more details and to register: smore.com/cfpnb Can't wait to see you there! 🙂

Last year so many people protested Canada Day after the news came out of Kamloops. We are still uncovering graves. Will it be the same this year? Did anything actually shift in anyone? Canada, how long is your memory?

Nurses are the best. Protect staffing ratios. Labor rights are disability rights.
