The group’s campaigning single Free Satpal Ram, about a south Asian man jailed for murder after an alleged racist attack, led me to become an activist – with their lead singer as my mentor

the far-right convoy's use of freedom discourse against vaccines is deliberate. It's a refraction of specific settler-colonial logic of *frontier freedom* - the colonial expansionist & capitalist fascism of enacting violence and violating others without consequence. #FluTruxKlan

My heart is hurting. I cannot get over the fact that a 23 year old Sikh International student was murdered by some white folks in Nova Scotia and still no national outrage.

Again, I was harassed. In line for my second vaccination, a white man, older was yelling at me. I’m on a meeting call with headphones but he’s so loud they can hear. I ask him to stop and his yelling gets louder. No one around me spoke up or asked him to stop. #StopAsianHate

I just found out that my children will be in a 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 split class with roughly 50 students. I don't envy the workload for that teacher. Split classes are normal in N. Ont., but never that many grades with that many students. Quad splits usually # around 20 #onted

At school, Black students should feel way beyond engaged, but excited, inspired and deeply connected to their learning @PeelSchools
