An officer from Victoria Police pushed me, and choked and pulled another Indigenous girls hair. This country is racist. The police are racist. The cops aren’t aloud to treat Indigenous Youth as disposable. #WetsuwetenSolidarity

Not sure how accurate it is to say that "One reason the current Wet’suwet’en crisis in BC has deteriorated is the absence of on-the-ground reporting." Vast majority in the mainstream media don't care that the Nak'azdli band (1 of the 20) voted 72% against an agreement with CGL.

Another good piece from The Tyee. We in the media have to do a better job explaining the respective roles and authority of band councils and hereditary chiefs when reporting on the #Wetsuweten crisis.

This is what I was up to exactly 10 minutes before I got arrested today at the railroad blockade in downtown Tkaronto. “Are you going to leave?” “Not until you do.”

Mohawk source: the protest camp at Kahnawake has a kitchen tent, a bonfire, a propane stove and a fish smoker. There are children running around and families holding it down. * No AK47s or weapons of any kind * People are "pretty chill" * Community is united

Canadians, a few weeks ago, responding to #ShutDownCanada: all these Wet'suwet'en solidarity actions are inconvenient and hurting the economy. We can't just cancel everything to fix social problems. Canadians, now, responding to #COVID19: #CancelEverythingNow #ShutDownCanada

All the racists arguing that Canada should "shut the border" for the benefit of "our" nation are the same racists that cry foul when Indigenous nations exercise sovereignty over their territories and make decisions for the benefit of their citizens. #ColonialHypocrisy
