Universities literally attract & send off students under banner: “change the world” & now invite police to brutalize their students for trying to do just that. Notably the same administrations exclaimed at whose core is a critique of police & prisons

The genocide in Gaza is still grinding on, day after day, hour after hour.

Precious life after precious life, extinguished.

And the future is filled with more horrific revelations of crimes committed, like the mass graves.

We don't get to go back to normal. Silence is shame.

Furious at report after report, video after video, of peacefully protesting students, faculty & community members being manhandled & arrested on their campuses.

This video of a student checking in on this Professor & shouting, “I got you” as she’s dragged away moved me to tears.

Hear from experts on the issues surrounding Alberta's new anti-trans, anti-queer policies. Misinformation is fuelling support for these policies, and this teach-in will help dispel some of it. Please share this event widely! Register tinyurl.com/ypv52fuy Florence Ashley

I am once again reminding you that if trans kids are uncomfortable talking about gender with their parents, their parents are part of the problem.

Sharing or threatening to share private images without consent is wrong, and it’s a crime. We are launching two new services so that victims will have more tools to stop the sharing of these images and get the justice they deserve.
