A resident physician at the University of Ottawa's faculty of medicine who was suspended over pro-Palestinian social media posts says he's been reinstated but has no plans to return to the institution. Dr. Yipeng Ge, 29, was sanctioned by the university last November after it got several complaints about a series of pro-Palestinian posts he'd made, ones that included references to "apartheid" and "settler colonialism." At the time of his suspension, Ge had been a fourth-year public health and preventive medicine resident and was completing a residency at the Public Health Agency of Canada. His research has focused on Indigenous health, anti-racism and decolonization.

I know I don’t have a large following. I know this post will get lost in the sea of other posts. I know I don’t come on here often, and when I do I try to keep my page free from death and other serious topics. Yet, I think this is imperative to say, especially since I myself am of indigenous descent. I ask all of you to join me in solidarity.

Cole Brings Plenty, actor, model, and most importantly activist was found dead. He was assaulted in a club in Lawrence, Kansas. He was killed and his braids; a symbol of his heritage, of his Lakota decent, and a sacred symbol across many an indigenous nation, were forcibly cut.

I beg of thee and I plead with thee, spread the word. Do your part, however big or little, to bring light to this situation. Whether it be by reblogging this post or others alike, or by going out and making a stand. Do it.

Shed light on the situation. This goes beyond the death of one man. It is about the abuse and the destruction of natives and their communities. Of the killing of many an innocent soul. Of the brutalization of many First Nations.

We have seen time and time again, many indigenous people die by similar means. We need to bring light on the deaths of any and all indigenous individuals dead, missing or at risk. It is an epidemic, an assault, and a silent cleansing of many a nation.

Whether it be the estimated 6,000 dead at the hands of Canadian residential schools, the murdered and missing indigenous women and children, or the killing of an actor and activist, you cannot deny the sheer abhorrence of this problem. The problem of many Native American people dying, going missing and being abused, at an alarming rate. At a level unprecedented and unparalleled, at a level of which should not be kept silent.

Cole Brings Plenty, actor, model, activist.

Look at him and spread awareness for him and for many others befallen by the same fate.

Remember him. Remember all of the others. Let nobody else befall the same fate again.

BREAKING| Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denies that Israel has been committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza saying that his country rejects the premise of South Africa's case at the ICJ, which was described as fact-based and compelling. [@/ QudsNen on X]

do you know how many more unmarked graves there are in this settler country? It's unfathomable and heartbreaking just thinking about it.

there was also people who made unauthorized trips to 'dig up' sacred spaces in Kamloops this past year in order to 'disprove' that remains of Indigenous children were being found -which is inherently genocidal apologism.

Canada wants to erase this history of genocide against Indigenous people on Turtle Island through denialism and political lip service about reconciliation and recognition. and it's beyond horrifying.

I was going through my great grandfather's memoirs (born 3 March 1880) and came across this part, which feels eerily similar to our current times:

Our biggest handicap was the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918. With men off sick we were lucky to have 50 staff. Some would come back and more would go off. I was off two weeks myself. There were many deaths in the city. The war was over and the men were returning from France. We were working a fifty hour week. With the men returning, the trend was to repress wages and frown on a reduction of working hours. My responsibility had been increased so as I was next to the superintendent. This was fine, except my wages were the same as the day I started. They said, "You are doing a good job, but with the men returning that is all we can pay you." There was general upset. The returned men were dissatisfied with the wages offered, not only with our company and the warehouse business, but with what was being offered in general.

He then goes on to explain how they met with the Trade and Labour Council to form a union and present their demands (which were union recognition, basic wage of $180.00 a month, an eight hour day in a year's time, and a two year contract), but it all went to hell because of spies reporting back to the bosses and scabs who refused to honour the strike.

After the second day they flooded back like sheep. At Ashdown the travellers and buyers worked the warehouse without interruption of service. The strike was a washout. I was out of a job!

The night before the strike was scheduled to start the bosses even resorted to the closest they had to social media 105 years ago.

The Evening paper carried an advertisement, by all companies concerned, advising that all employees absent from work for three days, would be discharged.

(The memoirs are 180 typed pages, so I may post more bits as they catch my eye)

Melaw Nakehk’o, “Free Palestine” (2023), traditionally smoked moose and caribou hide, glass beads, embroidery thread, sinew

“We really need to take a look at silencing as being a core failure of the decolonization and Indigenization platforms these institutions claim to be incorporating into their spaces,” Aylan Couchie said, adding that communities “need the freedom to speak to settler colonialism everywhere, including in Palestine.” [x]

Zionists love to be like well Jewish people are indigenous to Israel! Like LOL u colonial weirdos have no idea what being native means do u. It doesn’t mean “my far back ancestors were at one point originally from here”, it means a place is you and your peoples home. the logic of “indigenous identity” zionists have would also mean then that Cajuns are indigenous to Canada. Natives were (probably) not the first people to be in the Americas, migration happens all the time and used to happen freely a lot more! We also probably came from somewhere else and ended up in the Americas. We don’t have some fucking magical ethnic connection to the land, we just lived here for millennia and over time developed our own cultures and traditions and tribes and communities and homes. That’s it. The only reason Native identity has all this mysticism around it, is because at some point white settlers came, decided they were owed the land, decided they didn’t want us there, and killed us.

Notice that if I take that paragraph and make it about Palestinians it’ll still make sense, but if I make that about “israeli” settlers, it won’t? Yeah. Stop co-opting our movements.

#ndn #indigenous solidarity #palestine #anti zionisim #colonialism #The Cajun thing was a very intentional comparison and I do want to note that yeah a lot of Cajuns were/are mixed Mik’maq #Because before we were kicked out of our homes Cajuns were in really close proximity and relation with Mik’maq people #So. Mingling occurred.#Why even the “white” cajuns tend to look different than actually white French people (ie diff face shape darker skin darker hair)#And then with nowhere else to go rly Cajuns settled in the bayou which happened to be yet again in very close proximity to a couple #Native tribes #And more mingling #Which is why around like 40% of cajuns are also ndn. Like im Cajun-Coushatta #Cajun history is rich and really interesting actually #Which is why I do not and will never consider myself or my people “indigenous” to Canada despite likely having mik’maq ancestry #& I do not think ANY Cajun would in a million years consider themselves indigenous Canadian #Those of us who are cajun-ndn consider ourselves indigenous to america

Did a painting to show my sexuality. I'm somewhere in the bi-pan spectrum. I feel like I fit the pansexual description more but j prefer the bisexual flag colours more. So, both.

This is of course my interpretation of my own sexuality and not meant to be anything more than that.

CTV directed journalists not to use the word “Palestine” and has cultivated a “culture of fear” that is suppressing critical coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza, according to internal emails obtained by The Breach and interviews with several employees. The journalists said senior producers and senior editors across the platforms of CTV’s parent company Bell Media have disparaged Palestinian guests, told employees that protests calling for a ceasefire should not be reported on, and blocked or delayed stories that included too much contextual information about Israel’s military occupation and regime of apartheid in Palestine. The journalists, who are not being identified for fear of retribution, described a widespread bias at the media conglomerate against Palestinians that’s resulted in one-sided, incomplete coverage of the violence in Gaza that does “a huge disservice” to Canadians.

I've been too tired to update recently (I'm in the recovery stage fro covid now but the fatigue is still getting my ass) the situation here is still ongoing though..... a politician got assassinated yesterday too so there are more police out. People are expecting it's gonna last until end of December bc that's how long it will take them to make a decision on the contract

#tbh at this point its also a bit disheartening to know that this is not getting reported on at all like anywhere #but especially canada... i wish i had some means of making more canadians aware bc i think #a lot of people would probably protest in solidarity with us but i don't have a big platform and im not a journalist dhfgds #there's a lot going on in the world rn but you know.....#🐊

"BURNING OF JEWISH BOOKS IS PROTESTED," Winnipeg Tribune. May 11, 1933. Page 2. ---- Close of 1,200 Attend Meeting of Protest Against Nazi Activities --- The civilized nations of the world. should protest the burning of Jewish books in Germany, declared Rabbi Osher Zilberstein at a protest meeting against the recent Nazi actions held in the Hebrew Free school Wednesday night.

A large audience, numbering close to 1,200, attended the meeting to hear Rabbi Zilberstein, Dr. I. Pearlman, Marcus Hyman, and several other speakers. Ald. M. A. Gray was in the chair.

Rabbi Zilberstein said the protest of the world should say. "Give up your powder and guns, you modern barbarians; such things are a danger, even in the hands of civilized people, much more so in yours; put on bow and arrow and turn back to your woods." He characterized the burning of the books as a "horrible exhibition" and an "insane practice."

The modern mediaevals of Germany burned the records of physics, mathematics, medical science, music and art, only because they were of Jewish authorship. Such things could only be condemned and pitied. Hitler had tried for 14 years to show that the Jews were responsible for Germany's troubles, and later for the world's, but now he was demonstrating that they were responsible only insofar as Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Freud's Psychoanalysis and Heine's poems were.

Dr. Pearlman stated that that not only were the Hitlerites destroying the best that had been created in their world of literature, but an integral part of German culture."They may destroy the books, but they will never succeed in destroying the spirit contained in them," declared S. Miller, another speaker.

"If you’re not disturbed by the anti-trans / anti #2SLGBTQIA protests happening across Canada today —- frankly, you’re either not paying attention or your privilege is showing.

I say it how it is - I mean what I say, that’s who I am.

I used to counter protest, I used to build movements… but now I’m too disabled to be there.

If you can, please go carry the banner for those of us that can’t. We. Are. Tired.

Signed,

An elder disabled queer

Canadians: everyone loves Andrian Makhnachov, a lovely Ukrainian refugee who's interested in Canadian culture!

[five minutes later]

Canadians: we regret to inform you the Ukrainian refugee supports Indigenous peoples

#Andrian Makhnachov #Canada #yes obviously he's made some notable mistakes (and has been called out for them by Indigenous people)#but... that's not what people are generally mad at him for #they are sending him hate for... wanting to learn about Indigenous cultures #and wanting to share what he's learned—including the parts where Canada committed genocide #as a reminder: there is a history of solidarity between Indigenous peoples and Ukrainians in Canada #and the white Canadian establishment wins when that solidarity is broken #so they are going to have a vested interest in breaking it now #don't let them break it #cdnpoli #racism tw #genocide tw #xenophobia tw #death mention #murder mention #war mention
