#DocumentaryFilms I've enjoyed this month - in no particular order.

A rich and little-known part of Canadian history unfolds through the stories of the first Chinese women to come to Canada and of subsequent generations of Chinese Canadian women. It is an amazing tale of courageous women who left behind their families, knowing they would never see them again and of girls who were shipped off to the New World to marry men they had never met. These are the women who fought against the many forms of racism they faced in Canada while, at the same time, challenging sexism within their own communities. By passing on language, culture, and values to their children, these women defined what it means to be Chinese Canadian. Beautiful old photographs from family albums, the recollections of seven women who grew up in Canada in the first half of the 20th century, and the memories of narrator and director, Dora Nipp, whose grandfather came to Canada in 1881 to build the railway, create a remarkable story of stunning impact.

Trump is using the military more and more to crack down on #immigrants—taking control of border land, using bases for detention, and deploying troops for deportations.

This domestic #militarization can increase military power at home, despite legal limits and political pushback.

The Left can fight back by exposing #imperialism, supporting resisting troops, and organizing strong community resistance like the one that stopped troop deployment in LA. #counterpunch
