Orange Shirt Day should not be a called or turned into a “celebration”. It is our Remembrance Day. We honour and observe. This day represents many lost children and widespread intergenerational trauma. Its a time to learn and reflect. #EveryChildMatters

Political sign season is a great way to get to know your new neighbors without actually having to talk to those who have now publicly admitted their selfish and/or bigoted perspectives and desires. #waterlooregion #onpoli #localpolitics #communitybuilding

It was #ByDesign our land use is so racially segregated. Racially restrictive covenants and redlining made sure "undesired" minorities were excluded from communities. See @SegByDesign and https://t.co/JPHFrievH4 2/n

Apparently @Bline4Everyone has stirred up enough #GoodTrouble, we've got a local political group organizing against us. If I were to pick a name of an anti-housing group locally, I couldn't do better than "By Design." A thread🧵👇 1/n

I can't believe this even needs to be said, but...if you support providing asylum to refugees from Ukraine, you should also support providing asylum to refugees from EVERYWHERE.

One of the biggest threats of the 21st century is how disinformation has been weaponized.

WHAT!

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

Stories can inspire and motivate us in our pursuit of social good. Our Executive Director, @MojdehCox has generously taken the time to share her own, which shows us what's possible when we channel adversity into action to create the world we wish to see: https://t.co/EEkylYbqDt

Black people can’t object to a knee on our necks or kids getting pepper sprayed, but whiteness protects its own.

This is who America is, and it’s who we’ve always been. And we need to decide if we want to be something different.

They could have had hi-res video of Trump committing crimes and it wouldn’t have mattered, because they did and it didn’t.

@MerlinChatwin It literally was!

[Nadja Drost @nadjadrost]

even if journalism doesn’t change the reason he had to traverse a treacherous jungle to get here, or how he is treated here within a dehumanizing asylum system, it can still mean something to the people who live a story: the simple act of telling it, and speaking someone’s truth.

As ya’ll wake up, don’t sleep on the role WNBA played in Georgia race. Warnock was polling below ten percent when the Atlanta Dream started wearing his name in response to co-owner Kelly Loefler’s condemnation of the BLM movement. It spread thru the league & upped his profile

For real, measuring in Canada is so confusing!

[Dr. Maria Lane @GeographyLane]

Canadian colleagues: can you confirm? Quantification is so fascinating.
