Immigrants are NOT the cause of measles outbreak… NOT THE CAUSE.

[Dr. Doug Eyolfson @DougEyolfson]

There have been a number of replies to this post claiming the cause of our current measles outbreak is ‘unvaccinated immigrants’. The public health agency of Canada confirms that this is false.
The vast majority of cases are Canadians who have not been vaccinated.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

[April Sora @AprilSora]

This is chilling…

[Alex Padilla @AlexPadilla4CA]

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up.

I will not stop fighting to demand accountability on behalf of the people of California.

@TedSpurgeon1 The Beach Boys were such a part of my youth… we would go see them at least once if not twice a year at the Maple Leaf Gardens in the winter and at the Grandstand at the CNE in the summer. He was brilliant and his music so evocative. He gave us so many Endless Summers.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

The National Association of Japanese Canadians is heartbroken to hear about the tragedy at the Lapu Lapu Day Festival in Vancouver. We offer our condolences to the families and all those affected. We offer our support to the Filipino community as they support each other.

I wish @HonAhmedHussen ran for leader of the Liberals. I wish someone like him, with such grace and humility and brilliance could become our Prime Minister. Our country is not ready for that.

If you want to understand exactly how damaging this proposed legislation and policies are - take a read through all of these responses. This hate is exactly why we need to protect trans 🏳️‍⚧️ and gender diverse folkx, especially children and youth. Allies, we need you now ❤️

To preserve slavery, enslavers claimed slavery was “positively good” and that abolitionists were making up the terror and exploitation of slavery. To preserve Jim Crow, segregationists claimed public accommodations and institutions were “separate but equal” and that civil rights activists were making up all the racial inequity and injustice. To preserve racism today, the ideological descendants of enslavers and segregationists are claiming that the U.S. is a “colorblind” society and antiracist intellectuals and activists are making up all the racial inequity and injustice. As they strive to preserve racism, we must strive to recognize and combat these repackaged ideas by deepening our understanding of history. Making this #BlackHistoryMonth all the more critical. 👊🏿

🇨🇦 Customs last night: “you travel a lot, why do you travel so much?”
Me: “Well, 100 years of my family were forced to go to Indian Residential Schools by the 🇨🇦 govt, your employer, and their freedoms were removed. As the 1st generation not forced to go there, I am exploring /1
