@edenofnubian Because some ants don't want to defeat the grasshoppers, they want to be one of the grasshoppers.

As an African, I'm more interested in the stories of racism that my compatriots are facing from the Ukrainian and Polish (an EU/NATO) sides in this #RussiaUkraineConflict

If people can be so casually racist even in a crisis, what would they be like when things are normal?

Surely in your circles, @jkenney. It’s nice to know that people who are systemically disadvantaged are a joke to you. People who, as a result have had to work harder than you +your ancestors ever had to + descendants will. You sicken me; I’m proud of my dad and other #cabdrivers

Don’t you dare bring up AIDS in your COVID comments, @jkenney, and pretend you’re some sort of human rights defender. We know your record on that. You fought to keep gay people from visiting their dying partners in hospital. Stop.

Should read *OR* build a sense of community…. Apologies

Angry about that SohCahToa teacher’s racist dress-up?

Don’t forget that there’s still hundreds of schools using Indians, Savages, Chiefs etc. as mascots. “Performances” like that teacher’s are just happening at half-time or in the bleachers, instead of a classroom.

"As a bus driver, councilor and federal minister, I helped to move so many people through this city," Mayor-elect Amarjeet Sohi said Monday evening.

"But tonight I'm the one who's moved by this city."

While I have many to thank, tonight I am especially thankful to Trevor Zimmerman, who was my political advisor, campaign partner and new friend these past several months 🤟🏾

[Belen Samuel @belen__samuel]

Although this 6-month campaign has come to an end, this does not mean the same for my passion, dedication and commitment to community work and public education. @MLNelson2021 @HoleMarcia @TrishEstabrooks @JulieKusiek @SaadiqSumar @NathanIpYEG @sawyer4trustee @dawnhancock (7/7)

[Belen Samuel @belen__samuel]

Thank you to everyone who worked effortlessly on this community-driven campaign 🙏🏾 (1/2)

As we know, this is not a retirement gig - there is real work that needs to be done and real change that needs to. be made.
