I stayed up til the wee hours of the am as Toronto District School Board trustees debated accepting the Anti-Hate/Racism report, which includes naming 'anti-Palestinian racism'. Disheartening to hear Shelley Laskin 🇨🇦 Rachel Chernos Lin Alexandra Lulka Rotman claim APR to be antisemitic😔 cjpme.org/pr_2024_06_20_…

Makes you pause and appreciate the resilience, the agency, the conviction, and the humanity of our kin... ...and the inhumanity of those responsible for the Maafa: colonialism, white supremacy, & capitalism. A belated happy #juneteenth to all.

🎯Ann. Nights like last night help me understand why my American father chose Toronto for his children to be born and raised. I would choose neither: the overtly racist Trump and his "black jobs" OR Genocide Joe's cognitive/moral decline, having enabled the erasure of Gaza 🙅🏾‍♂️

We lost another elder. Louis did a LOT for this city. Rest in Power, brother.

As we gear up for the new school year, I'm wondering if other Toronto District School Board ppl are hearing rumours that when our director steps down, new MOE Jill Dunlop will seek to take direction of the board, and move to address asset-rich, cash-poor board situation by selling land to developers?👀

It's long overdue for @OTTPinfo to #DivestFromWar NOW. Our pension plan $$$ should not be in any way, shape, or form connected to the devastation of Gaza, Palestine, Lebanon or elsewhere in the region. I encourage every educator to share this broadly. #ArmsEmbargoNow #OntEd

D. Tyler Robinson (he/him) Done ! People can also send their own message to Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan here: worldbeyondwar.org/otpp/

I remember seeing Senator Sinclair keynote at the Tommy Douglas Institute in 2018. The enduring understanding of that talk? His call to all education workers: "Education got us into this mess and education must get us out". A true legend & a loss for humanity. Rest in power

"But we were not supposed to see this. That's how I know it was our ancestors hacking the machines" Saul Williams. 🖤

Listening to Matt Galloway ask Raji Sourani about gangs of Palestinians in Gaza stealing aid from other Palestinians. I'm reminded of the reflexive argument that African people were the ones who sold other Africans into slavery. A total refusal to engage the larger point

Really tired of president musk. Bye twitter

The great thing about Pierre Poilievre's anti-woke, Trump impersonation, is that it's just racist enough to bring the politically conscientious objectors out, to avoid a fed PC gov't. Polls are open til 9:30pm. Go do your part 😉

I am reminded of Rabindranath Tagore, “Patriotism cannot be our final spiritual shelter; my refuge is humanity”. This number is staggering. A stain on all of humanity.
