I am taking a step back from Twitter amidst the chaotic flood of hate-speech, misinformation, and significant harm this platform is exacerbating.

I'll be on the app, but not engaging actively here anymore. This may change.

For now, hug a doggo and vote for @oliviachow

@cupe3903comms Hey all! Friendly OPSEU Campaigns Officer here! On Thursday at 530pm folks will be at the Summerhill LCBO. Not at Yonge and Wellesley! Check out https://t.co/DzlsDnSAO0 for all the latest! Thanks!

The entire federal NDP caucus has written to the Prime Minister to demand Canada call for a ceasefire today. Please read our urgent letter.

The rise of hate towards the 2SLGBTQI+ community is deeply alarming.

All people deserve safety and freedom to be who they are.

Today and every day, New Democrats stand with the trans community in solidarity.

#BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford is reversing Greenbelt decision: “I made a promise to you that I wouldn’t touch the Greenbelt. I broke that promise. And for that I am very very sorry…it was a mistake to open the Greenbelt. It was a mistake to open a process that moved too fast”

BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford is scrapping his controversial Greenbelt land swap in a desperate bid to salvage his sputtering @OntarioPCParty government. Complete coverage at the @TorontoStar.

With @tcndp’s @bfchangTO at todays #CapitalPride parade. Brian & his partner came all the way from downtown Toronto to join #CapitalPride this weekend & joined Ottawa NDP delegation today in the parade. Even brought their flag! Now that’s #Solidarity. 🏳️‍🌈✊ #NDP

TTC officials have been saying for 10 years that the SRT was long past its natural life. Had council & Rob Ford, backed by Wynne and GTA Libs, not cancelled the plan to replace it with an LRT in 2013, it would have been finished in 2020. Still no subway. https://t.co/hakzYZyTcc

Disappointing to see the Federal Liberals shirk their responsibilities to refugee claimants for immediate and long-term permanent housing options.

Refugee settlement is within the federal government's jurisdiction. Tell Freeland inaction is unacceptable: https://t.co/JdZ33ROAEY

[Leah ProudLakota (she/her) @LeahGazan]

The dumping of debris on a mural honouring #MMIWG2S at the Brady Road landfill is a grotesque act of hatred.

It’s a reflection of how the lives of Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse people are constantly devalued.

We are a target. We deserve justice. #SearchTheLandfill

The draft Environmental Study is out. Excluded from the assessment - Live Nation and the Therme megaspa. Ford's Conservatives exempted private projects from environmental assessments in May 2021 - at the same time they issued the RFP for Ontario Place.

In lieu of dedicated, 24/7 Cooling Centres, @cityoftoronto is once again directing unhoused people to inappropriate/privatized spaces and daytime-only public infrastructure, like libraries, without providing these spaces with additional resources to act as de facto cool space.

[CUPE Ontario @CUPEOntario]

CUPE Ontario is proud to endorse Team Ignite as the next Ontario Federation of Labour Leadership team!

Educational assistant Laura Walton, grocery store clerk Ahmad Gaied, and union educator and community worker Jackie Taylor announced, on Thursday, that they are running to be the next executive officers of the one-million-member Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL).

Putting their team forward with the full support of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario, the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), and the United Steelworkers (USW), the three candidates plan to ignite the labour movement to organize, build, and win gains for workers across Canada’s largest and richest province.

This is horrifying.

Yesterday's hate-motivated attack is another reminder that we can't allow hate-fuelled rhetoric to poison our country.

Women and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community deserve safety.

[TeamIgniteOFL2023 @TeamIgniteOFL23]

We are excited to announce Team Ignite for OFL 2023! Please read our press release that has just been launched!

I am endorsing Olivia Chow to be the next Mayor for Toronto. Our city faces some serious challenges that will require - not a strong mayor - but a mayor who can inspire all of us to come together to be part of the solution. @oliviachow https://t.co/TKixhpnmMB #TOPoli

[Olivia Chow @oliviachow]

It’s more important than ever to show our support for Trans folks in public ways.

I’m honoured to march alongside the 2SLGBTQI+ community at today’s Trans Rally & March.

Pride is political!

[Brian Chang @bfchangTO]

@MalcH @Jacqkelly The rally was packed and so fun!
