Before visiting Grassy Narrows for this reporting trip, I knew it was bad. But did I ever find out just how bad it really is. An ENTIRE community poisoned; 50 years on after a pulp plant purposefully dumped mercury in the river. It’s devastating. The people of Grassy are doing…

I know what our rights are - we do not concede to the Province. We have been here far longer than the Provinces and Canada 🇨🇦 I will continue to stand with you, beside you, and invite all of our allies to do the same - you are needed to show up now more than ever 👊🏽

To my trans 🏳️‍⚧️, gender diverse, 2 spirit 🌈 patients/families - I will continue to provide gender affirming care on-reserve, on our Treaty Territory where the Province has ZERO jurisdiction to infringe on our sovereignty. This is a violation of our Treaty Right to Health and /1

“Children with… open fractures, partial amputations, open chest wounds, horrendous lacerations… and burns. And that was every day.” Dr Deborah Harrington recently spent 2 weeks in a Gaza hospital. “I feel ashamed and shocked that we’re doing this to fellow humans,” she told me.

This is your @rcmpgrcpolice Canada, racist, vulgar, violent & dangerous. Report written by former Supreme Court of Canada Justice Bastarache, RCMP are toxic, racist, misogynistic & sexually violent. RCMP C-IRG unit is the worst - cowboys with guns. @rcmpoffyintah @RcmpAbolish

If you’re wondering how it’s possible Israelis can film themselves committing the most unbelievably depraved and heinous acts against Palestinians, the answer is simple. Western countries have allowed a genocidal society to go as far as it pleases without any consequences.…

There is a human tissue that builds itself up and breaks itself down every ~28 days using non-scarring wound healing and instead of studying that and learning everything we can about it we think it's gross and look for other less relevant models to understand wound healing.

I’m sure our ancestors asked many times - “how could 🇨🇦s /🇺🇸s let them do this to us? Why won’t they help us?” in our own Homelands. For all of you who have ever said “I didn’t know what happened to Indigenous Peoples, if only I had known.” It is happening in real time now.

🚨The Rantisi Hospital in #Gaza, the only hospital that provides specialised services to children, has just been told to evacuate its staff as the building will soon be destroyed by Israeli forces. This terrible threat puts even more children at risk of death and injury.

@DavideMastracci Lots of "progressives" are up in arms that Zionism is being compared to Nazism, when Einstein himself & countless holocaust survivors made the same such comparison. The visual juxtaposition makes it impossible to downplay the horrors of the Nakba & Western culpability in it.

We’ve heard with great sadness that Tymbektoden Arara has died, just weeks after giving a powerful speech about his people’s rights at the UN. He was a leader of the recently contacted Arara Indigenous people of #Brazil.

I was at this protest. Ibrahim was present as a safety marshal and stood in front of the masked student to protect OUR safety. The student was taking invasive photos and getting in our faces. In the video, you can see Ibrahim has both hands on his keffiyeh at all times.

So, when does @SarahJama_ receive an apology and reinstatement from @MaritStiles and the party for saying the exact same thing weeks ago? It’s not lost on me she’s been more knowledgeable on the issue a lot sooner than the rest of the party - and actually dared to speak up.

This is how jeans get distressed. You see the mask, the goggles, and yet, this worker is probably still breathing in enough of those tiny fibers to permanently damage their lungs. If only there was a way to get holes in jeans without harming someone in the process…

But Danielle would know all of that because she’s “Cherokee” right? 🙄🤮 When Indigenous People are told continuously that 🇨🇦 funds them, it’s in fact the opposite - illegally stolen FN resources continue to fund most aspects of this country. /end.

Let alone, we only agreed to share the Land to the depth of the European plow, which was 6 inches. We agreed to share enough trees 🌳 for the Settlers to build their homes. So while 🇨🇦 claims it is a Land of Natural Resources (and revenue from them) - it is from First Nations. /2

The NRTA (Natural Resource Transfer Act) was passed at a time where it was illegal for First Nations to hire lawyers (GoC made illegal under Indian Act in 1927), and were not able to vote until 1960. The 2 instruments of Western Democracy were not afforded to FN’s = illegal. /1

🧵5/n The Antarctic Peninsula is warming 5x faster than the global average. Whilst I was there, Antarctic sea ice extent hit a record-low and much of Antarctica was warmer than average.

🧵4/n It’s only now that I’ve left that I can really begin to process my Antarctic experience. And only now that I’ve left can I let myself acknowledge the canary in the coal mine… This wonderful place is dying.
