Hey fellow settlers, pay your rent!

 If you haven't been following the story, the RCMP (yes, those iconic lantern-jawed Mounties that Americans love for some reason), which has been a force for colonial violence since Turtle Island was first stolen, is currently attacking Unist'ot'en Camp at the behest of Coastal Gaslink and our Floppy Haired Prince of Blackface. This is the traditional territory of the Wet'suwet'en people and unceded land—no settler has any sort of right to be there without permission, let alone build a pipeline through it. Even though anti-Indigenous racism is endemic in Canada, they're scared enough of the rest of the world seeing that they've got carbine rifles and helicopters and have been authorized to use as much force as they feel like on non-violent land defenders that they've barred journalists from seeing what they're doing there.

This is genocide in action and we are all complicit unless we're helping the fight.

There were protests all over the country today, including in Toronto. If you can't get to one, here are some ways you can help, including obviously donations.

Signal boost. The land defenders are fighting for all of us, Indigenous and settler alike—we need to be fighting for them too.
