We have updated our Privacy Policy.

Don't go by politicians' promises - go by their track record. Go by *who they are*.

I've watched Doug Ford on Council for years. I guarantee that under the Tories, those who are racialized, LGBTQ2S, poor, will suffer. Not just from policies but from the open hate and violence other people will be emboldened to unleash. If you care about any of these groups you cannot support the PCPO.

Clarification for non-locals, as there is misinformation flying around: the incident did not take place "downtown", but in a northern suburb near a major intersection. Busy, but not downtown.

Right-wing news outlets and social media are immediately jumping to racist and xenophobic conclusions, but we don't know anything yet. There will be a press conference soon.

even if you don't have money or can't offer a ride or whatever, just knowing what resources/services are in the area & how to navigate them, or more suitable people to connect a person with, counts as a resource! #mutualaid

so here's @amphetamine with a thread on #fediverse / #mastodon #mutualaid: https://social.wxcafe.net/@amphetamine/99628451887694771

informal proposal: like #introductions, people can use #mutualaid to periodically post what area of the world they live in (as much as they're comfortable with) and what kind of resources they can offer

re: last boost, social.coop may not be the first democratic social network, but we sure as heck launched before hiveway lol

"In the last 15 years, only three people have died during an interaction with Brantford [Ontario] police. Hill was the officer in every case."

Finally got around to reading Wendy Gillis's piece "Backfire". A mentally ill Indigenous teenager is killed by a police officer who, the victim's family discovers, may himself be suffering from PTSD.
