"Let’s Talk about Indigenous Mental Health: Trauma, Suicide & Settler Colonialism" from Michaela M. McGuire (Jaad Gudgihljiwah):

Pour your heart into something & see what happens. I dare you. You can’t get these days & years back.
Go for it or go to the grave w/ nothing but great ideas.
The Neskantaga Nation and many Indigenous communities are facing a water crisis.
25 years without clean water - that's a quarter of a century.
5 years without a fix from Justin Trudeau - that's half a decade.
Every day of delay is cruel violation of human rights.
UPDATE: Kingston Police say Jaykumar was recorded on security video at 7:10 p.m. on June 26, 2020, while walking from the Wolfe Island Dock to Ontario St, wearing only red boxer shorts.

As Canada emerges as one of the countries with the worst record on #COVID19 deaths in long term care homes
I renew the call to remove profit from the care of our seniors
Our senior deserve better

If you are it outgraged, you’re not paying attention. This is bullshit. As if #DafonteMiller and his family haven’t been through enough. Now they’ve been refused justice by a country that continues to flaunt itself as diverse, inclusive, and a place of equal opportunity.
In 2016, Police officer Michael & Christian Theriault repeatedly punched, kicked & hit #DafonteMiller with a pipe, causing a permanent eye injury & trauma.
Today, Ontario courts did not hold them adequately accountable.
If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.
When a kid in school can get charged and convicted with aggravated assault with a pencil, and an off-duty cop and his brother can take a man's eye out with a pipe gets hardly a conviction... this is a clear example of systemic racism. Canada, you are far from an ideal nation.
Kamala Harris: Did you eat lunch today?
William Barr: I don't know
Harris: How can you not know?
Barr: I'm grappling with the word "eat"
Harris: Did you consume food today?
Barr: I don't know if I'd say "consume"
Harris: Did food go in your mouth?
Barr: I'm really not sure
Here is the complete exchange, via CSPAN, between Kamala Harris and Bill Barr — including the part where Barr couldn't say whether Trump or anyone in the White House has ever suggested that he open an investigation into anyone. It's worth a watch.
Beto is a generational political talent who built a grassroots movement. Every Democrat can learn a lot from how he ran his race with authenticity and without fear.
I hope we haven’t heard the last of him.
The 2018 midterms have already brought a wave of historic wins:
-First Muslim women in Congress
-First Native American women in Congress
-Youngest woman ever elected to Congress
-First openly gay man elected US governor
-First woman governor of Guam

Somebody put a stack of tissues on the desk next to Blasey- Ford before she testified. She didn’t need them. Nobody put tissues next to Kavanaugh. He did.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar asks Brett Kavanaugh if he has ever blacked out from drinking, and he turns the question back on her.
Kavanaugh: "You are asking about a blackout. I don't know. Have you?"
Klobuchar: "Could you answer the question, judge?"
