@JustinTrudeau That's nice and all but how about we forgive student debt? Have you seen the house prices?

We are in a moment in American history where two guys — Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos — own more wealth than the bottom 40% of people in this country. That level of greed and inequality is not only immoral. It is unsustainable.

#TorontoSRI Director @ghadfield is giving a @TEDxToronto talk on March 4 on why regulating big tech isn't working—and what to do. We're doing a #giveaway of 3 tickets! To enter: follow us, like and retweet this by 5pm EST on Feb. 26, 2021. #contest #UofT https://t.co/X384Vqo0qI

@martinmaged Annihilate the pizza. Then get in shape out of guilt. 😉

Some of us are lucky enough to inherit the following balance sheet from our parents:

Contacts: 0
Money: 0
Power: 0

Resiliency: ♾
Desire: ♾
Drive: ♾
Grit: ♾

How lucky were WE?!?!

Why would we want to impeach and convict Donald Trump – a president who is now out of office? Because it must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the government he or she is sworn to protect.

Walton family wealth in 2018: $146 billion
Walton family wealth in 2021: $228 billion

Walmart minimum wage in 2018: $11 an hour
Walmart minimum wage in 2021: $11 an hour

It is a moral outrage that the richest family in America pays workers at Walmart starvation wages.

#India: We call on the authorities and protesters to exercise maximum restraint in ongoing #FarmersProtests. The rights to peaceful assembly & expression should be protected both offline & online. It's crucial to find equitable solutions with due respect to #HumanRights for all.

Listen to POTUS's speech right now and did I just hear...laughter in the press room? Laughter?! Wow, so surreal. #PresidentBiden

“Mr. Trump has insisted that the case is ‘simple’ and has told advisers he could argue it himself and save the money on lawyers.” Sounds like a plan. 😎

This is not to say that I don't appreciate the campaign; normalizing the topic of mental health is incredibly important and I encourage everyone to continue talking about it! But I also believe companies need to go a step beyond and find ways to help those in need of it!

[Sarah Shlymon @SarahShlymon]

Today, I'm hitting back at #BellLetsTalk with #TalkisCheap. Getting the conversation started was step 1; now we need action. If you care about mental health, offer students more affordable, discounted plans so they can reallocate that money towards mental health services. @Bell

@TorontoSRI @UofTEnglish @JHIevents @EnglishCornell @UTM @UTM_Research @researchuoft @wgsi @PatrickKeilty @amodernjournal @CambridgeUP The world has so much to learn from Professor Slater; looking forward to the seminar!

[Justin Hendrix @justinhendrix]

Videos from Jan 6th show how Trump worked the crowd into a murderous rage- and a key target of that rage was Mike Pence. This video shows the direct connection between rhetoric & real danger the Vice President was in. Visit Just Security for full video: https://t.co/EW9Ro9zOZE

@Wolfe321 please launch your own news platform! You don't need to be governed by news media bureaucracy! You have support that will follow you in your journey, wherever you end up! Your perspective is unique, powerful, and needed.

[Sarah Shlymon @SarahShlymon]

@jilliancyork She should launch her own platform! She would be able to write freely and I guarantee support would follow, including myself!

[Sarah Shlymon @SarahShlymon]

@profcarroll Do you think banning Trump from twitter was the correct move? Was this period in history an exception? Does this set a dangerous precedent? What should be the protocol in dealing with sources of disinformation/division on social media platforms?

[Sarah Shlymon @SarahShlymon]

Why are targeted ads even a thing? There's a different between creating a product / marketing & using people's data to profit unfairly off them. That's basically psychological (capitalistic) warfare. #SorryNotSorry

The GOP may want to move on, but we won’t let them.
