Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

I haven’t been on here really in years. I just spent 7 mins here scrolling and the toxicity and polarization shocked me, and I was fully expecting it.

Thirteen days ago, I called for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation by the Israeli government, which had begun a horrific siege on Palestinians in Gaza. Since I made that statement, Israel has only escalated its assault on millions of Gazans. 1/

[Anishinabek Nation @AnishNation]

Robinson Huron Treaty Chiefs and dignitaries announce $10 Billion in compensation is for 21 First Nations. There is not yet a settlement for per capita payments to individuals.

@petersankoff Really. Because ...

"One of the women, Nikki Bowmaster, told Officer Balcom that Justice Brown made sexual advances toward her while at the same time kissing her daughter Paige on the cheek or neck.

“I felt like he was coming on to me while he was touching her – super creepy,”

[Chris Albinati @cjalbinati]

@Sean_Speer @nationalpost When you wrote: "At age 55, Brown has as many as two more decades to shape the Supreme Court and influence a new generation of heterodox legal thought." .. Nope.

Vehicles and people must make room for emergency vehicles to pass through.
Peel medics were slowed at Avenue and Bloor due to trucks and protestors. This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
There are traffic delays across the city due to protests.
