A woman on CNN is saying the anti-Vietnam protests were different from the situation now, which is “very polarizing.” People always do this — make it seem like past activists were somehow uncontroversial. It’s nonsense. Activism by its nature is antagonistic to the status quo.
I covered a lot of council mtgs and I still remember this one. The low income transit pass means people living in extreme poverty can take the bus for $5 a month. They can get to appointments, classes & the grocery store. It's a lifeline. #yyccc calgaryherald.com/news/traffic/c…
A few years ago, I got to illustrate this powerful story about the positive impacts of #yyc's low income transit pass program for everyday folks. I'd be sad to see the funding for this program cut. You can see the full video (& a few others) here: the23rdstory.com/ten-years-toge…

A very special thank you to Sean at @BikeBikeYYC for his role in making the airport bike pickups possible with the loan of two Brompton folding bikes. When I first approached Sean with the idea, he responded immediately, "That's awesome ... what can I do?"

EN/FRThis is why we don’t have good schools and libraries and parks and social services in our cities. We spend it all on a militarized police force that does the bidding of the capitalist class. It’s true in NYC just as it’s true in Louisville.
A line of NYPD police officer is waiting to enter the second floor of Columbia University's occupied Hamilton Hall.
The police violence inflicted upon my friend Steve Tamari for standing against Netanyahu’s genocide is indicative of the brutality communities face around the world when they dare to demand peace & justice, from St. Louis to Gaza. We need peace, diplomacy and a #CeasefireNow!
Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body. SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand. One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.
No one asks how Palestinian students are supposed to "feel safe" at institutions who invest in and profit off of the murder of their relatives.

“But it ended in two days.” They literally killed someone.
The Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville was reprehensible. But it ended in two days. What’s happening now on college campuses is worse. It’s been happening for weeks with no end in sight. It’s based on hatred toward Jews and America. Where is Biden? Biden the hypocrite…
A woman on CNN is saying the anti-Vietnam protests were different from the situation now, which is “very polarizing.” People always do this — make it seem like past activists were somehow uncontroversial. It’s nonsense. Activism by its nature is antagonistic to the status quo.
This is what the violence we're seeing on campuses is designed to defend.
Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.
We are witnessing the weaponization of law enforcement in New York City under the watch of a Democratic Mayor, Governor, and President—all because these leaders rather defend a genocide over listening to the voices of the people. It’s wrong.
NEW: Calgary city council is requesting the provincial government reduce its property tax requisition by $6.2M to offset the shortfall caused by the province cutting its funding for the low-income transit pass program.
The low income transit pass is an important poverty alleviation strategy - one Calgarians need more than ever. Not spending on poverty reduction nearly always leads to larger downstream costs.
Breaking: Government of Alberta pulling funding coverage for low income transit passes in Calgary. Last year there were 17,968,988 rides from low income pass holders in Calgary—after year of record growth by users. livewirecalgary.com/2024/04/30/low…
