Keke Palmer is having a baby and the morality police are DRAGGING it.

I wrote for @essence about how only Black women’s bodies are policed this way, and how we need to disentangle ourselves from these backward notions about what “family” looks like.

I’ve been thinking of a proverb I grew up hearing in EA: “When elephants fight, it’s the grass that suffers.” Children are on ventilators & hospitals are running out of cribs. Yet the grown-ups are arguing about what to do. I wrote about it @TheAgenda

A wage cut that primarily affects women is gender pay discrimination, but Ford has been able to slither his way through the muck of injustice without much being said—until now.

After nearly three years of relative quietude, pediatric hospitals are now in crisis, health-care workers told @KatherineJWu. “This is our 2020,” one physician said. “This is as bad as it gets.” https://t.co/vOxU9030aN

.@TheAgenda spoke @deonandan last week when 109 deaths were reported which had been the highest since May. I asked why this was, the impact on hospitals & pediatric hospitals, what we should expect this winter & why so many children were getting sick

It's municipal election day in Ontario. While early voting almost doubled in Hamilton, in Toronto, it was down by almost 7%. If tomorrow voting is down, let’s not trot out the old line, "why aren't young people more engaged". I wrote about it @TheAgenda

After Loblaw announced it would freeze prices of 1500 No Name brand products until January, Metro tells @CBCNews it’s an “industry practice” this time of year and they’ll be doing the same. We asked Loblaw about this and they say that’s not true.. We’ll discuss on Canada Tonight.
