Yesterday two young cats were selling candy in Walmart. This white lady was asking them, "who are you selling it for, I'll know if you're lying." I walked up and said, "Happy Juneteenth Lil Brothas, let me get that whole box." We dapped it up, I told them, "be safe out here, these people are dangerous," and we left her standing there. I can only imagine what would have happened had they stayed there, it was my duty to protect those babies....
Police DON’T prevent crime. They respond to it. Higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment prevent crime.
ICYMI: My latest op-ed in Canada's National Observer argues that by virtually every measure that matters to everyday people, Ontario is worse off today than it was when Premier Doug Ford took office exactly eight years ago. #cdnpoli#onpoli👇

"The Canadian mining company NovaRed is sending an appalling message by hiring Kristi Noem. This woman has no business working in Canada. Contact NovaRed to share your views on Noem."

ETT is crashing Ford Fest! Doug is out once again with his yearly attempt to distract from his horrible track record of austerity and constant scandals. Teachers, education workers, and concerned community members have had enough of Doug’s cuts - and we’re letting him know
Most Ontario hospitals are in deficit. Most Ontario hospitals borrow loans or lines of credit from banks. And yet we have cash for an airport whose terminal is owned by the biggest American bank with $4.4 trillion in assets. This is backwards. @JessicaBellTO
Pretty sure this isn’t the Fordfest that @fordnation was hoping.
Workers & community allies have drowned him out with chants of Fair Wages & Worth Fighting For

Fun fact:
Everyone identifiable in black in this picture is Canadian.
Richie Laryea: born in Toronto
Ismaël Koné: moved to Canada at 7, raised in Montreal
Derek Cornelius: born in Ajax, ON
Stephen Eustaquio: born in Leamington, ON
Fordfest kicks off with a cacophony of boos from the crowd each time @fordnation is mentioned.
It’s no Angus Reid poll but the sentiment is clear #NumbersDropping@OFLabour
NEW: Angus Reid has sent a legal letter to Premier Ford.
“Angus Reid Institute stands by its work and its long record of independent non-partisan public opinion research. We do not intend to litigate this issue in the media but we do believe the public record should be corrected”
The voice in your head, she said. The one calling you lazy and stupid and too much...
That voice isn't yours. Somebody handed it to you when you were small, somebody who had no idea what they were even looking at.
You've been quoting a stranger your whole life. She said you're allowed to stop.
Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self-abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. Likes And eventually, the bill comes due.
