“We Belong to Each Other Now”: Lessons from Minneapolis “This extreme closeness, togetherness and intimacy — you cannot infiltrate your way into a space where you'll understand that," says May, a rapid responder in Minneapolis.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

Tiffany Berruti: “From our conjunctural vantage, what if we treated the ferocious transphobia from the right—the ceaseless misgendering, murderous fantasies, and ever increasing violence—as a discourse both leaders and rank-and-file participants actively desire to be part of?”

In the Fight Against ICE, Kids Are on the Front Lines From tear gas attacks to violent abductions, we are collectively witnessing the mass-scale abuse of children. Young people are fighting back.

I wrote about having solidarity with young people in our struggles against ICE for @inthesetimes.com

a quote is bordered by a dashed red line. A quotation mark sits at the top centre of the border and “The Yellowhead Brief” is placed in the bottom centre of the border. Inside the border reads: If there is one key difference between the international order and the Canadian order, it’s Carney’s reference to “rupture.” There has not yet been a rupture in the rules governing Indigenous people and the Crown. But, there should be.

White text in the centre of the image reads: Where do Indigenous people fit in Mark Carney's vision of Canada, leading the alternative to the "rules-based" order; and how are his comments hypocritical in light of the Crown-Indigenous relationship?

How should the Left respond to Trump’s threats against Canada? Tempest member David Camfield argues for a socialist strategy in response to Trump’s bullying of Canada.

a quote is bordered by a dashed red line. A quotation mark sits at the top centre of the border and “The Yellowhead Brief” is placed in the bottom centre of the border. Inside the border reads: This incessant imperialism is set against the backdrop of actual people in the Arctic living their everyday lives: with their families and communities speaking their language and with cultural integrity, with desires to live free.

Kalaallit voices are once again pushed to the margins. Vivi Vold & Kunuk Inutiq offer context to Kalaalliit Nunaat's (Greenland's) re-emergence in the centre of global geopolitics, centering Kalaaliit perspectives on colonial trauma and solidarity.
