Hey! Look! Did you see that massively huge convoy of health workers who has gone in to work each & every day to provide healthcare for vulnerable people amidst staffing shortages, snowstorms & a raging pandemic? Yeah...shoutout to that convoy. That convoy is the best. 🙌🏾

For about a year and a half, I worked at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum here in D.C. as a visitor services representative. On my first day, I was walking with my supervisor, who nudged me at one point and said: "See that guy? That's Henry. Make sure you talk to him." (thread)

I wish people cared this much about Black and Indigenous rights like they do about truckers driving to Ottawa.

Latjor Tuel was a Black Man who experienced a mental health crisis. He was shot & killed by police. But when an angry convoy showed up in Ottawa to overthrow the government, the police showed incredible restraint. No one died. Racism in policing is a public health crisis.

Telling Indigenous stories from a non-colonial lens means taking a LOT more time to get specific names, nations, clans, houses, territories & titles right. It could mean HOURS more work to get it right because you are educating yourself on an entirely new culture, law & history🧵

This International Women’s Day, please take out some time to read our advocacy brief on why campaigns on #InternationalWomensDay need to be inclusive of trans women and trans-feminine folks. ow.ly/tjFp50IenSF

BREAKING copy, more coming. CBS is expected to introduce the new behaviour-based screening approach by September 30. This is a day very long waited for, lots of promises have been made to this effect, and after years... now it's happened. #canqueer ctvnews.ca/politics/healt…

WE'RE SEEING AN INCREASE IN QUEERPHOBIA BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY AN INCREASE IN TRANSPHOBIA TARGETTED AT YOUTH. EVERYONE NEEDS TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE UPCOMING MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS IN ONTARIO AS THERE'S A HIGH NUMBER OF TRANSPHOBES RUNNING TO BE SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

This is a candidate running in Zone 2 for OCDSB trustee in Kanata - Ashley Darling. Anti-abortion and transphobic, Campaign Life Coalition gives her a perfect score. Folks need to get out to Kanata and support progressive candidate @Alysha4Zone2: tinyurl.com/muhvv7ac

Ashley Darling tries to hide her far-right, anti-LGBT views because she knows that #Kanata voters would reject her if they know how she really feels. If you live in OCDSB Zone 2, vote for Alysha Aziz and keep hate off the school board. #ottawa #ottvote #onpoli Horizon Ottawa
