when you're doing an interview with @macleans on racism in Canada and court officer interrupts it to have a smoke. Of course he didn't mean anything by it right? right? #TOpoli #cdnpoli #WhitePrivilege #hongshing #interviewingwhileblack

The “uninvolved civilian” they shot at was a SEVEN MONTH OLD BABY.

His name was Sam Fahd Abou Haikal.

@erica_comm Toronto literally does anything it can to back it's claim it's a world class city. They can't handle being told they aren't

A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."

The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

[Sam Hersh @SamHersh01]

I'm not even really sure what to say at this point.

This is one of the most absurd distortions of antisemitism by the pro-Israel lobby Ive seen.

It's embarassing, they should be ashamed of themselves.

TTC under fire from Jewish community over inverted red triangle on FIFA theme shirts.

Jewish leaders say the jersey's motif evokes the red triangle used in Hamas propaganda videos and antisemitic vandalism https://t.co/cNaKV3DHvg

Data obtained by The Canadian Press through a freedom-of-information request shows that between the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years, the province spent $465 million more on OSAP grants, and 95 per cent of that went to private career college students.

A tenured professor of art therapy was suspended by her university and placed under formal investigation for the crime of using a Palestinian in a hypothetical example for uses of art therapy.

This is not 10th grade. It's a college, for adult students.

Scientists across multiple disciplines are sounding the alarm after the White House proposed taking greater control over how scientific research gets funded and allowing political appointees to decide whether to approve scientific grants. https://t.co/WooyjH1H9S

Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina and Greenland. https://t.co/jmm86WQNcY

NEW: World Cup tickets cost up to $11.5 million — you could get into the last WC for $11.

This time FIFA could rake in $13 billion using dynamic pricing, resales, and lax U.S. rules.

We found FIFA President Gianni Infantino funneling that money into keeping himself in power.

Canadian Heritage was aware of internal strife at the Indigenous languages office for months before it launched a financial audit of the organization, @bhobs22 and I have learned.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”

“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)

“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”

“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”

Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”

“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: "To the people of Israel, come live in the West Bank. There are many reasons to live there. I hope this will help us bring one million settlers and kill the idea of a Palestinian state."

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

People like me take great pains to avoid coming across as antisemitic in our criticisms of Israel, and then Jewish Zionists go to these events all “Yes we Jews need to be actively manipulating western institutions in order to deceive everyone and control society.”

Didn’t you post your opinion and try calling out @TheBikingLawyer ?! Also, if you’re on a bike and an officer tells you to stop & you ignore it, excessive force and causing a concussion are not the appropriate response.
