Absolute poetry. Anderson Cooper should win the Nobel Prize for literature just for this #ElectionResults2020 #TrumpMeltdown

last night, activists in hamilton convinced the public school board to remove police officers from schools. big congrats for the amazing organizing by young black folks in that city!!

I support @theJagmeetSingh. And I expect white MPs to support him for calling out racism in the House of Commons. This is an opportunity for the @BlocQuebecois to do some anti-racism work. #whitefragility is #WhiteSupremacy.

[Simran Jeet Singh @simran]

Jagmeet Singh describes policing as systemically racist and calls for review of budget allocations.

When he called out his colleagues’ racism, he was kicked out of the House.

Funny how we punish the people who call out racism, not the racists themselves.

The way that Jagmeet Singh is demonized and dunked on by Canadians is a reflection of the white supremacy that runs rampant in this nation

Only in a racist country does a brown man get ejected from parliament for insisting that the denial of systemic racism is racist.

Police officers in Buffalo and Indianapolis are facing criticism and investigations for use-of-force incidents with protesters that were captured on video. https://t.co/CtCYdeax3L

[Rosé Bautista @DesmondCole]

cameras can capture police brutality but they don't prevent it. we don't need new ways to fund policing, we need to abolish police and use their budgets to support people

Please watch this interview with Desmond Cole: racism is systematic in Canada. Comparing ourselves to the US undermines the experiences of POC in our own communities. #blacklivesmatter #amplifymelanatedvoices

[Rosé Bautista @DesmondCole]

Good morning to everyone who understands why Black people are in the streets, and why we must abolish the police and give their budgets to the people they've harmed. Please watch and share:

Non-Black people making black square posts on social media: Use #BlackoutTuesday not #BlackLivesMatter if you are going to caption it, as you are clogging up valuable constantly updating info.
