The US banned Hawaiian language, overthrew our country, let us die in Maui fires, devastated our universal healthcare, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of independence

Vague blanket statements claiming “hate has no home here”mean very little. Our community has a long-standing problem of failing to effectively condemn, challenge, and eradicate white supremacist violence.

I wish more folks understood healthcare isn't just about doctors and hospitals, it's about the policies and systems that shape our communities. Affordable housing, access to healthy food, and quality education are all critical components of a healthy society.

I wish more folks understood that the academic performance of kids in low-income communities is not a reflection of bad parenting, but rather a reflection of the structural barriers and inequities that these families face every day.

For those of you who think privatizing healthcare is not a bad idea , my 70 year old aunt fell down and broke her femur in the u.s. 10 days and a surgery later , her hospital bill is $257,000 . And you think a few cents cut in your taxes can ever help you afford this?

In this episode, we will engage with the GROAT getting 'fat shamed' by Pat Riley, and also put that in context with another Toronto sport legend in the making - Vladdy Jr. We frame this conversation...
