This might be a personal record: Helped Indigenous land defenders and allies stop trains out of the second-biggest railyard in the country, then shut down one of the biggest streets in the country two days later, then on Friday participated in a 30,000-person picket line in front of the provincial legislature.

Also made a thing to send to a prisoner, which is activism on a very individual level.

I've been following that (the first part) and spreading the news here as much as I can. Thank you for being part of it.

Much appreciated!

Did a bunch of work on the UC graduate workers' COLA strike. It's being reported on in the national news and in some papers abroad, like The Guardian. Solidarity is much appreciated.

I'll spread some news!
