It's wild having other people send me screenshots telling me what I am apparently up to.

I thought I had been doing unspecified* #CommunityDefence this afternoon, but apparently I was in a whole second place "coordinating harassment" or some shite.

Not only am I the "anarchist in charge of everything", I can teleport? bilocate? what?

*unspecified because: stalkers will harass the people I was there to help were I to specify, and fuck knows, they don't need that on top of everything else.

Today in Jesus fucking Christ I hope your house burns to the ground:

The house residence around this encampment apparently came up with a suggestion to down all the trees in this park so that the unhoused people had no shade and would have to leave.

Up early doing #CommunityDefence which doesn't involve arson.

Got up way too early this morning because yesterday Toronto Police Service thought it would be hilarious to, hmm joke? I guess they thought it was funny, that they were coming to clear a park of unhoused residents this morning, despite the official paperwork saying Monday.

When they tell you that "the cruelty is the point," this is what they mean.
They want to burn you out and make it impossible for you to continue resisting the brutality of the state.

So now I'm going eat strawberries, garden, and put my soul back together after an incredibly long day yesterday.

As we rapidly approach a violent war against fascism and climate disaster, the liberal Democrats are pushing to ban body armor for civilians (besides cops of course). Why? Because they are on the side of the fascists and always have been, and they want you to be easy to kill.

We know their priorities, We know their allegiance, We know their goals.

Vote with your bullets.

Early mornings are not my thing.
Simultaneous important things are also not my thing.

#CommunityDefence however, is my thing.

A long day of #CommunityDefence is about half over.

Encampment support with the City threatening to clear tents at Holy Trinity. Love those tactical nurses!

Court support for comrades.
(Standing room only!)

Two more community actions today.

Remember how I said I am getting my neighbors into a Signal group where we can discuss and mobilize for political action? I wrote a little "mission statement" for it.

If you want to agitate, educate, organize, and mobilize your liberal neighbors into new (for them) forms of political action, you may find this helpful.

❝
Losing the roof over your head could reduce your lifespan by 17 years.

That’s the takeaway from a new study published Friday, which warns that the gap between life expectancies for housed versus homeless Torontonians has only been growing, and is especially pronounced for younger generations.

It’s a gap that persists even after accounting for the outsized toll of substance use and other mental health-related challenges within the city’s homeless population, said researcher Lucie Richard with Unity Health’s MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions.

Meanwhile, City workers like Belinda Batista, whose job is displacing the unhoused with no actual solutions, live well on the sunshine list for facilitating death. Not an exaggeration.

Up today:
Memorial for Terra Cosier and encampment clearing.

Seem like a weird combination?

Well, she passed away at 6am and by noon the City came with trespass notices, opened her tent, threw one in.

Yep.
That's the City of Toronto for you.

Homeless neighbors took this video of people threatening them in a park. They have never had contact with these guys before and this interaction was unprovoked. If you recognize any of these two men making threats please DM their name or any information you may have. Just because the city and the courts don't care about homeless people doesn't mean no one will stand up for them.

We protect us.

When you remind yourself during an LO training that respectability politics is one of the privileges you have that can be used for #CommunityDefence so you pull out a dry cleaner bag that hasn't been opened in YEARS, and in the pocket is a ring you assumed was lost to the world pre-covid beginning.

Kudos to the dry cleaning personnel who just put it back in the right jacket. Not-kudos to me for not checking pockets before dropping shit off.

Also, have my Purim noisemaker for today's action.
