I’m deeply disappointed by the judges decision & saddened to know The People’s Circle for Palestine, the most beautiful space I’ve experienced at @UofT has been threatened. Truly disheartening that admin would rather inflict violence on students than enter into peaceful dialogue

A cobalt mine in Congo where 40,000 children work as slaves. The Democratic Republic of Congo is considered the world's richest country in terms of wealth in natural resources. Most of the raw mineral deposits remain untapped and are worth an estimated $24 trillion. These deposits include the world's largest coltan reserves and considerable amounts of cobalt.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo accounts for some two-thirds of the world's cobalt, dwarfing the output of its closest competitors, Australia and Russia.

80% of the DRC's cobalt output is owned by Chinese companies, refined in China, and then sold to battery makers around the world. In addition, up to 2,000 people die from cobalt mining accidents in the DRC every year. Miners also face sexual assault and forced evictions.

Those in the mines face the most salient human rights abuses and exploitations, but risks in this industry are spread across various groups.

Unfortunately, the first-ever punk band is Death, an all-Black band that predated the Ramones, and Tina Marie Bell, a Black woman from Seattle, invented grunge. :) You wouldn’t have rock music without Black people or women, not even the most recent kind. Hope that helps.

It’s back to school week, which is a great time to remind teachers that Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT), although convenient, is not audited through an equity lens, and many non-Indigenous created materials I’ve found are actually harmful. 1/ 🧵 🪡

@Joyhenderson78 Love this. I feel like whoever his PR are, they have some skills to get him look attractive to the masses. But honestly wash the makeup off and take out the suits, he just looks like a walmart manager with too tight pants and glasses that are too small for his face.

@MLAGoertzen What are you going to do about the recent hate crimes committed against INDIGENOUS WOMEN? What are you going to do to protect us from the violence and hate from men who don't see us as human beings? We are not trash! #SearchTheLandfill

@HStefansonMB @WPFG2023 @MLAGoertzen @obbykhan60 @SCOIncMB @ScottGillingham @wpgpolice @CanadaLifeCtr 😂 its a privilege to feel protected and safe by them when many others are not.
