16 years ago, Tempe anarchists dressed as secret Santas playfully disabled neighborhood traffic cameras & uploaded the video to youtube. The media broadcast it everywhere. The city shut the program down & only just restarted it today. 16 years of freedom. youtube.com/watch?v=T43LtG…

Three years ago, two "progressive" Harvard profs proposed adding 500,000 more police because the US is "underpoliced." In their argument, they omitted that they weren't counting private police--like police at Columbia or Harvard. I tell this incredible story in my Copaganda book.

Hunting down and destroying the tents and belongings of people outside while the outdoor shelter is full and no more shelter spaces are coming, is destroying lives, destroying life and destroying Hamilton.

There is a conspiracy of silence among the BC Press about the catastrophic blowup between the Conservative Party of BC and its erstwhile most extremist, anti-indigenous, xenophobic and hateful flank, not least because it means they would have to report on and explain this.

This is shoddy, irresponsible journalism that is actively perpetuating harm in its erasure of what's actually driving BC's drug poisoning emergency, which is the extremely unpredictable & toxic unregulated drug supply - something Rob Shaw can't be bothered to mention. 1/

BC Centre for Disease Control We are 9+ yrs into a declared public health emergency that has killed over 16,000 ppl in BC & will continue to kill indefinitely, thanks in no small part to ppl like Rob Shaw & Elenore Sturko, who ensure we don't even talk abt the real threat here, nvmd acting to end it. 6/6

People are stealing because they’re poor. And police don’t fix root causes of problems. But $5M invested in safe supply would reduce poverty and survival-based crime, increase safety for everyone and even save some lives.

Want to understand the motivation behind BC's health system? Here it is in one tweet. And the authoritarian tendencies (and sheer arrogance) have only gotten worse the longer they've stayed in power. It's not just him, but surprised we haven't seen "King David" memes yet.

drug information, because students don't get basic facts in schools due to opportunistic reactionaries like this guy doesn't help that the government does NOTHING tell the people about the unregulated drug supply, Harman.

Reporting on this took me months 🫠 please read my original 3 stories that prompted this CBC piece. vancouver.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/vide… ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti… ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

I love art and spaces for it. But modular homes for the unhoused were removed for a supposedly shovel ready new gallery. Now? An empty lot. No art, no homes. We need to protect the housing we have and not displace people for projects that may never break ground.

"The DTES is not, and never was, an 'experiment'. It is a neighbourhood with deep roots, hard histories, and human resilience. It is a place where people know each other’s names, share what little they have, and try to live with dignity against the odds." - Amanda Jane Burrows (she/her)
