Wow this place is terrible now. Back in 2009 Twitter was where you could go to be weird. Also Free Palestine!

Bara'a is working hard to find paid work in healthcare, and rebuild her life and family’s future. Every contribution helps cover her remaining university costs and provides her with some stability and dignity. https://t.co/MIdsRRWMlq

I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “legitimate concerns” and “working class revolt”

It’s working-class Black and brown people being pushed out of their homes. This is racist violence and intimidation. Don’t dress it up as anything else.

Especially if you gleefully tweet about how much you hate immigrants

[noah kulwin @nkulw]

hatred of immigrants is a sign of moral weakness. one of the more obvious tells that you're just not a good person.

@Terrilltf @Paul33946932645 I'm just trying to be a Jewish person who doesn't question Indigenous people but my Zionist fam referred to them as "many Indigenous groups who now stand behind Israel" and zero Indigenous ppl I follow support Israel and 🫠

@Terrilltf THANK YOU I was so confused

Yesterday Israel killed an 8 year old boy in Gaza wearing a backpack on the way home from school.

His name was Jad.

The only reason western mainstream news outlets didn’t report on his killing is because he’s Palestinian.

Sometimes pause and realize most of the accounts here are not real and a ploy to make you spend time here. People are outraged by a discourse that's been tailored to seem real and to outrage them on purpose

This is how broken the democratic process in Canada is. A mega bank based in America hired an army of ex-Liberals, Conservatives and NDPers and bolted the issue of Billy Bishop expansion to the top of the priority list for Ford and Carney.

No one voted for it. No one wanted it. No one campaigned on it. Torontonians are massively against it.

We are under economic warfare. Ontario govt wiped out OSAP for students. Yet govts think it wise to spend their resources on an issue no one wanted except one mega US bank.

This is the key danger of privatization. These foreign equity banks are massive, comparable to govts and have ability to bribe and buy out govts. JP Morgan just did it.

One of the things no one tells you is good about your 40s is that you can now wear a blouse and slacks fuckin' ANYWHERE

Vulnerable & unhoused friends take note: with FIFA in Toronto this week the TTC is aggressively moving anyone who appears to be staying/sleeping. TTC cops shake, say they're being recorded and shove them off the train. They ask if they need EMS but only to get them up and off.

“Canadaland brands itself as Canada's media accountability outlet … The court's findings describe an outlet that republished a known false claim, ignored documents in its own possession that disproved it, and never asked its subject to respond.”

@CoraCHarrington I do too! I also suffer from cheapness so can't read beyond the paywall. There are dozens of us!

The best Mother's Day gift I ever got was the teacher had each kid write a letter to their mom/parent and mail it so it arrived in time to read on Mother's Day. The kids learned mail and I got an adorable postcard.

[Michelle Balaban 🎹🎹 @Balaban]

This will sound smug AF but by the time kids are aware enough of Mothers/Fathers Day to do a card or craft for you - that's the gift. The flowers and stuff are whatever but the kids making me something and proud to see me open it? That's it right there.

@Terrilltf Hey whatever you have to do to quit smoking is better than smoking. This woulda been me except too much of it made me nauseous 😅

@margeemargz I've never been to a phone-free show and now I really want to!

As #Toronto Zionists celebrate genocide, safely from Canada, Palestinian children are being murdered by the same people they celebrate.

Brad Bradford continues to campaign against things that *he* supported under Tory's mayoralty, before Chow stepped foot into office. This time its the world cup deal that Tory negotiated and signed. Brad happily supported Tory in this awful deal at the time.

[Michelle Balaban 🎹🎹 @Balaban]

@TruthBrad29269 @MR_STiXX Please be right! Please be right!!

[Maher El-Masri @maherme01]

One of 30,000 other children Israel. Mercilessly killed during 2.5 years of genocide.

More proof that Brad complains and doesn’t offer solutions to solve such problem.

Fact: FIFA became official in Toronto under John Tory’s tenure. Chow inherited this obligation.
