Fuck Canada Day. Support Anti-Colonial Media.

Yeah, we know—it’s Canada Day. A day when this colonial state pats itself on the back with fireworks and maple-washed history books. But for many of us, it’s a day of mourning, resistance, and truth-telling.

At Amplifier Films, we’re not here to celebrate genocide wrapped in red and white. We’re a crew made up of people from colonized lands—Kanien’kehá:ka Territory, Borikén, and beyond—and we’ve dedicated our work to tearing down colonial lies and amplifying the real stories of land defense, past and present.

From the forests of so-called Canada to the streets of occupied Palestine, we bring you radical media from the front lines. That means real stories. Real resistance. Real decolonial politics. No filters. No apologies.

We’ve got two major projects right now that need your support:

🔥 Red Road to the West Bank – Following Indigenous land defenders from Turtle Island connecting with Palestinian resistance on the ground. https://amplifierfilms.ca/redroad

🔥 Front Line Reports – Ongoing, no-bullshit coverage of land back struggles, settler violence, and Indigenous resistance here and abroad. https://amplifierfilms.ca/shorts

Throw down if you can. A donation of $70 or more gets you a keffiyeh as a thank-you—a symbol of resistance and solidarity.

📣 This Canada Day, skip the fireworks. Fund the fire. Support anti-colonial media.

Probably worth mentioning that when more people are uninsured, the cost of health insurance for people with coverage goes up. So, when you pass a bill that punts 10 million plus off Medicaid you're also spiking premiums for yourself and/or others.

Collective action actually takes things like benefiting everyone as a whole into consideration, so a lot of pragmatist progressive voters will have a very difficult time trusting people who encouraged voters to ignore what was very well known.

Before transitioning into academia, Velazquez organized low-wage workers for over fifteen years —an experience he says left him with a great deal of despair. It also led him to conclude the following:

"I take no joy in saying that I could think of no better way to reform labor law than through the destruction of the NLRA."

I've just published version 2.79 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Added a server-wide Webmention hook; this way, if somebody out there (that supports Webmention) links to a user or post in this instance, a notification is sent (this is the complementary of what was implemented in version 2.76).

Fixed regression while sending email via pipe on OpenBSD.

Fixed Markdown parsing when the URL has parenthesis.

Always show the 'pending follow confirmations' section if there are any (even if the toggle is off).

If a metadata value is an account handler, it's also tried to be validated (rel="me" links).

Another search by URL tweak (this time for Pixelfed links).

Mastodon API: fixed a bug that made some boosts disappear after being shown in apps like Tusky, added followed hashtags maintenance, other minor changes.

Renamed command-line actions create_list to list_create and delete_list to list_remove.

The default favicon URL can be changed from the server configuration.

New command-line option export_posts, to export all posts by a user in a JSON format compatible with the one generated by Mastodon.

The command-line options to send notes also allow an optional -r argument, to set the URL of a Fediverse post this note is a reply to.
