Upcoming radical events in Ottawa, starting Monday Oct 12, 2026 www.punchupcollective.org/reo-calendar...

Here's more excellent content from Long-Haul Magazine (@long-haul-mag.bsky.social)! Chicago teacher-activist Anne Carlson thoughtfully describes her own trajectory as a union activist and shares key lessons she has learned.

Latest from me: I look at the case of the #minneapolis15, organizers charged with conspiracy to injure an officer that largely doesn’t seem to have occurred. Their community had rallied behind them in what can be a model for jail support in the face of authoritarian repression.

The Doug Ford government plans to expand prisons and put more people in them. We describe current conditions at an #Ottawa centre and what the future will look like under A Safer #Ontario - it's inhumane treatment.

Paul Messersmith-Glavin interviewed me about FOR THE LONG HAUL for @truthout.org.
One tip I share: "Saying no to some things and setting priorities isn’t actually wrong. It helps us be more focused and effective. It doesn’t guarantee our success, but it increases our chances of winning more often."

Many thanks to @johncke.bsky.social for this thoughtful review of FOR THE LONG HAUL! I especially appreciate the crucial questions he raises about the structural impediments we face in building radical movements.
