@anne_theriault Seriously in Canada and the U.S. we can travel for days, weeks, without leaving (or seeing all of) our respective countries. It’s a litttttle different honestly.

@jdgtranen @IBJIYONGI Years ago, I stopped being friends with a white woman who, having converted to Judaism in adulthood, insisted that her white Canadian kids had more of a right to live in Israel than Palestinian kids. I’ve never looked back.

Here’s my point: I would love to find COVID-safe friends who wear N-95 masks and get their vaccines and eat outside and like … acknowledge that COVID is still a thing… where can I find such friends in Toronto? Accepting applications 🫠😷.

@SaraQDavid I’m not a lawyer and this is *definitely not legal advice* but having worked in employment law, I think it might be worth exploring whether you can get additional compensation? Especially given that they recruited you. I would 💯 suggest calling an employment lawyer to inquire ❤️🩹.

@PremierScottMoe The NDP want to protect 2SLGBTQIA+ kids from harm by potentially abusive parents who would deny children the care and support they need and often kick children out of their homes simply for being who they are. 40% of unhoused youth are members of the 2SLGBTQIA community.

@theashleyray It’s wild to me honestly. Like if there was any assault or abuse or like bullying, I could see it? But if they had a few dates or hookups and then the guy left him on read, I mean, 🤷🏼♀️ it’s just bizarre behaviour imo.

@R_minp @PplsCityCouncil @deardrewdixon @BerkeleyLaw @NationalSJP @palyouthmvmt @AROCBayArea It’s smart to get legal advice before entering a potentially hostile situation. Yes it is part of daily activities to say a greeting to mark the last night of Ramadan. Hope this helps ✌🏼.

There are a few accounts I consistently retweet and/or interact with because their tweets are gold. @emrazz drops truth bombs day in and day out. May the twitter gods bless her. Like I dunno 1) put a checkmark beside her name; 2) ban the butthurt misogynist trolls in her mentions.
What to do if you want to be an ally but aren’t sure how: a comprehensive guide . Step one: ask.Step two: listen to the answer.Step three: do those things . That’s it you’re done.

I hate that no one masks anymore. I’m on the train and this dude keeps coughing and making these like almost horking sniffling sounds. I just took a packet of Kleenex out of my bag and dropped it on the seat next to him. He looked at it then went back to his phone.

@isbestarseed @birgitomo @ClaudetteGGibs1 A lot of things are racism, and by definition “all colors” haven’t experienced it. Racism is abt power structures + in our white supremacist society, yt folks have power and are the ones *doing* racism to Black and Indigenous folks and other people of colour. Hope this helps 👍🏼.

@soirchick @danacarvey This is perfect. As perfect as condolences can be. I always feel like mine are inadequate. My wife passed in July. I’m gutted; I still can’t express to myself how empty it all is. I don’t want to hijack this. But it’s nice to read something that gets closer to the truth than most.

The absolute gall to appropriate Sarah Jama’s position after removing her from caucus, lying and getting caught. Marit Styles has no choice but to apologize to and reinstate Ms. Jama to the caucus and then resign as @OntarioNDP leader immediately.
Yesterday was the deadliest in Gaza so far. 700 people killed. Half were children. Neighbourhoods levelled. Families in mourning. We continue our call on the fed gov’t to support an end to the siege, urgent humanitarian aid, release of hostages & an immediate ceasefire.

@blakesavme @HairyHarry42069 @Rich_Cooper Still a girls’ trip won’t ruin a marriage. Chances are very good the trip had nothing to do with her reasons for leaving — unless you tried to stop her from going. That might speed things along.

@sasa_ghada When finishing up a marshalling shift Tues pm at @occupyuoft I saw a young woman in a convocation gown peek through the tarp — I wasn’t able to stop her — then she turned to (presumably) her dad and said in the MOST spoiled entitled voice, “no they ruined the whole garden!”.
