Over 2000 CanLit writers & editors call for charges to be dropped against the protesters at the @GillerPrize ceremony. If you haven't yet signed the letter, you have until tomorrow to do so here: https://t.co/WtHv42QMXX

In a reasonable society where the police felt some level of accountability to the public, there would be an explanation for why a cop was running around with an assault rifle in the busiest subway station of Canada's largest city.

Anyone who is a mother, and many who are not, will understand this entirely. Testimonies that cinch the human condition.

[Yara Eid 🇵🇸 يارا عيد @yaraeid_]

I have just heard the voice of my mum for the first time in two days. She started crying when she heard my voice. She told me “I swear when they cut all connections and I couldn’t talk to you or Feras (my brother) it was worse than cutting off water. I was suffocating, thank god I can hear your voices again.” She was coughing a lot and couldn’t speak much. Soon I learned that she has a bad chest infection from all the pollution there is after the bombs and because people are using cooking oil instead of fuel to operate the cars. She is very sick and her immunity is super weak due to lack of food and water. I can’t even to begin imagining how children in hospitals are feeling with severe injuries and no medical help. I am thinking about all those who are in pain right now and not getting treatment. What my mother is going through is nothing compared to the suffering of those with who are getting amputated without anaesthesia. I can’t even begin to imagine the level of pain they’re in…

Whenever I tweet about the immense suffering being inflicted on Gaza, I get replies from pro-Israel accounts demanding that Hamas release the hostages. Here's a quick rundown of what's happening on that front. Tl;dr: Netanyahu doesn't care about the hostages

The hypocrisy of the @OntarioNDP is stunning. You publicly dressed down @SarahJama_ last week. You sent emails prohibiting MPPs from calling out Israel's crimes and now when your "strategists" have run their numbers do you express some humanity. #onpoli

New from me: History needs to know we saw this happening, we understood what it was and we did nothing to prevent it.
We need to know that to be on the right side of history requires that we grow a backbone in the present. #Gazagenocide

We wish wish to express our uncompromising solidarity with the Palestinian people in their righteous struggle for self-determination. This feeling is accompanied by a profound sense of grief over the lives that have been lost. Full statement here: https://t.co/wZmUKsSZgw

[T Star @DJ__beef]

Yup.

[Rosé Bautista @DesmondCole]

meanwhile, people who use the community centre adjacent to the killing, especially drug users, are being blamed and vilified. sadness and outrage for Huebner-Makurat often comes at the expense of unhoused folks and drug users. those who always wanted them gone see their opening

I was told as a kid that prison was reserved for the 'worst of the worst' and I believed it - until I was sent to prison. 🧵👇🏽

[United Steelworkers @SteelworkersCA]

FYI @fordnation - we are one of the biggest private sector unions in the province, and NO, we do not have a “good relationship.” We are with @CUPEOntario @cupenat #39kIsNotEnough #ONLab

[Muna Kadri @munakadri]

As of today, no one in Ontario has any guaranteed rights.

Not you, not me, no one.

This isn't stability, it's more chaos.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if CUPE workers are essential to keeping schools open and kids in class…then they are also essential enough to receive a decent wage. I urge you: Support CUPE workers…and stand against starvation wages everywhere. #IStandWithCUPE

The assistant manager of the TOPS buffalo NY store was calling 911 within the store as the shooting was happening. The 911 dispatcher was yelling at her and also HUNG UP on her. She then called her boyfriend to have him call 911. Y'all......

For the love of everything good, *please* use critical thinking before supporting and sharing letters, petitions, gofundmes, articles etc. So many reek of immense privilege & leave folks behind. Some things to watch for in this thread.

Ontario parents, especially with kids under 12, we are on our own to protect our families, healthcare system & communities. Yesterday, the theme of the press conference was #Empowerment. Let's do that with this thread. #OntEd #OnPoli
