We were talking the other night about how people locally seemed to react a bit differently to the lockdowns than elsewhere and came to the theory that because of the history of what happened here, how le Grand dérangement of 1755 affected our ancestors and how this event is constantly being referred to people are just always on the edge of thinking "they could do it to us again".

Madame Kolinka (©PCA). Un moment d’échange avec Ginette Kolinka ! Le 6 mai 2021, nous avons eu trois heures d’échange avec madame Kolinka. Madame Kolinka est une déportée juive qui a été à Auschwitz-Birkenau (un camps de concentration). Elle est venue au collège pour raconter son histoire horrible à cause de Hitler et des nazis durant la seconde guerre mondiale. Ginette Kolinka a été arrêtée le…

ICE deportations fall to lowest ever

The Dancer At The Rooftop

I don't really know where to begin... I think that someone's life can sometimes be too extensive, too complex, to describe in this small text box, and being only 21 I already have so many experiences that saturate my brief existence that at times I'm overwhelmed to see all the "me's" that I have been and all the me's I shall become. I guess I could begin, though, where my days ends - every day since deportation took me from my home, and left in this place I don't belong in:

Each night, since sleep is so impossible, I climb on to the rooftop, and sing out to the stars, dance alone with just the Moonlight... And eat a lot of Lucky Charms~

In the silence of the hill on which my family's manor perches, like a haunted, lonely thing, staring at the endless sea of lights that is the city at my feet, I hit the PLAY button on my phone and the metal pours like blood does through my veins. I've thrown... Sooo, so many spoons and plates in this catharsis to the far-off streets, that I fear I'll leave my family without a trace of ancient china or silver spoons.

It's alright~ Nothing's left within this mansion but their ghosts.

I don't think of much in these never-ending moments, I just climb onto the ledge, feel the call of distant concrete... And dance~ I dance and see what happens~ And as I sway, I learn the truths of who I am and just how far are all my limits - I headbang faster, push it further! Try once more my fate... In those moments I'm oblivious to the world that burns around me, oblivious to the fall before my rhythmic step.

And music... Music frees my Soul from questions - frees me from the need to keep defining who I am: you see... I never found the person I was born or meant to be, and I could never be what others wanted. And no matter who I am, I'm still only a phantom of my soul.

My body limits me.

So I guess that's me? A soul that fell upon this world, like pouring rain: fresh, and fluid, and eternally complex if closely examined. A Dancer At The Rooftop, a Wanderer of countries, taken from the one where she found home... An eater of Lucky Charms~

300,000 Deported in Biden’s First 100 Days

300,000 Deported in Biden’s First 100 Days - @johnsonjakep

By Jake Johnson – Apr 29, 2021 A rights group warns that the U.S. president is “well on track to repeat” Obama’s failures. Rights group United We Dream warned Tuesday that unless he takes immediate steps to improve his administration’s treatment of immigrants, President Joe Biden is at serious risk of repeating the destructive failures of former President Barack Obama, who deported roughly 3…

(ok i’m not done yet)

I still can’t fucking believe deporting Nazis and their supporters is considered “evil” by some clowns. 

What the fuck am I supposed to feel about NAZIS, who built GHETTOS where they tortured, raped, killed and experimented on Jewish people, eradicating all of them? 

Ah yes, tunglr anon, you convinced me. I should have felt sorry. I’m going back home and slapping this badge on myself the moment I cross the border to show solidarity with deported Latvians.

Because yes,

Nazis were freedom fighters! Latvians who volunteered to join NAZIS were “freedom fighters”!

Look at those poor victims of commies, gathering Jewish people to execute! How could they deport them, they deserve compassion uwu

Taking away a child and bringing it "back" to a country it has never seen before is not only an indescribably horrible experience for the child, it also leaves a painful hole for those who stay.

This is a rehearsal snippet from one of our latest songs, Still Kill; lyrics-wise a little bit over the top to make a point.

Here are the full lyrics, inspired by an experience of our guitarist, a teacher at an affected school:

Fennez Marson – Still Kill

The news, it is a-breakin'

A murder by mistake

One in some million

Yet so unique for those deprived

Oh, the epitome of innocence

Neglected ‘til death

From Shanghai to Boston

Inner children just don't survive

Zero, zero

Zero ability to comprehend the pain

Zero, zero

Zero capacity to see that's insane

A rose is a rose is a victim

My boy is a victim, my boy

And a rose is a rose is still a killer

My girl is a killer, oh still kill

Once the crime has been committed

You will breathe without a heart

In an instant, you won't mind

Tearin' real lives apart

And you will justify your sin

With some words from a book you chose

A compromise by theorists

Oh officer, you're just another rose

And so ten distressed kids are losing

In a star-crossed match of shame

You can replace a soccer player

But it's never gonna be the same

You took one of my sheep

And now my whole flock is scarred for life

For I'm a good shepherd, I hope they'll run away

And find you, your daughter, son and wife
