@SociologistKate @jdesmondharris I grew up with my (white) grandparents who named their black lab Jemima. When you grow up, it’s embarrassing and you realize your parents should have known better. Just rename her horse 🐴 I’m not sure why this is such a big dilemma 🤷🏽‍♀️ Agree that she will thank you later

Defend our right to free and fair collective bargaining. Tell Doug Ford: Hands off workers’ rights! Stop the attack on education workers! https://t.co/JQAsiBYgAB

[Sheila Matthen @SheilaMatthen]

Stop Doug Ford’s attack on Ontario workers! I just sent an email to say: hands off workers’ right to strike! Will you send one too? #OnLab #OnPoli #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/sJgVlInB2X

It’s shameful that the BC gov didn’t bring in PAID vaccination leave OR #PaidSickDays in. The. Middle. Of. A. PANDEMIC 🤦🏽‍♀️

Tbh Horgan’s NDP gov is a lot less disappointing if you think of them as the Wynne Liberals 🤷🏽‍♀️ #bcpoli #onpoli #canlab https://t.co/dHDveZAa4F

Bill C-15 is a new federal bill on #IndigenousRights that is facing strong opposition from the right, but it builds on decades of work by Indigenous peoples to push the country forward.

Here is a new oped I co-wrote with ⁦@jonnysas_⁩. https://t.co/RU9m44uE9N

Federal #undrip bill c15 has its problems but is at least a first step towards changing crown-Indigenous relations after years of activism from Indigenous activists writes @jonnysas_ @Khelsilem https://t.co/Ukgn2sPKed

ICYMI: @jonnysas_ takes on the myth that #USElectionResults2020 and a @JoeBiden presidency will be a light at the end of a tunnel for the US

PSA for White folks 🚨 Racialized/Indigenous folks need affordable access to therapists who understand our experiences in this colonial/white supremacist country.

Big congrats to @NikiSharma2 🥳

[Niki Sharma @NikiSharma2]

I am so honoured to be the Vancouver-Hastings BCNDP candidate in this election. I wanted to send you all my deepest and heartfelt thanks for the trust you have put in me. I promise to work hard for you!

[Niki Sharma @NikiSharma2]

Vancouver-Hastings members voting will end tonight at 10 pm. I want to thank all the diverse group of people that have come together on this campaign. I could not be more proud to stand with you.

Either the equity mandate means something or it doesn’t. Sign this petition to show your support https://t.co/nAlecLqn8X

[Sheila Matthen @SheilaMatthen]

Great way to start off an election - @bcndp proving that its equity policy only matters when it’s convenient. Great sign of things to come #bcelection #standwithannitamcphee

[Khelsilem @Khelsilem]

This is a powerful statement from @NahanniFontaine.

A policy that elevates Indigenous women to run for public office should be supported.

[Khelsilem @Khelsilem]

Every white woman who has benefited from the BC NDP’s equity mandate should be speaking up to demand the party stand by it.

Or is there only exceptions made because someone is famous and well connected?

Resign now. #polmtl #JohnAMacdonald

[Valérie Plante @Val_Plante]

I strongly condemn the acts of vandalism that took place this afternoon in downtown Montréal, which led to the John A. Macdonald statue being torn down. Such gestures cannot be accepted nor tolerated. (1/4) #polmtl

This weekend @TorontoStar referenced my analysis on the wealth gap between millennials who own homes and those who don’t. With #COVID19 exasperating income inequality, expect this gap to get worse

[Broadbent Institute @broadbent]

Today's latest editorial in @TorontoStar references research from @SheilaMatthen's piece on the Broadbent blog on the growing inequality among millennials.

Idk if I should be creeped out or flattered how far back this racist went in my timeline 🤔 #factcheck

(Jk I know it’s creepy)
