Creating space for dissent, critique, and self-critique are necessary practices for growing healthy movements. What hurts our movements is when we resort to calling each other “cops” or “feds” every time we simply disagree and it is extremely dangerous.

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

Liberals are framing Aaron Bushnell’s self-immolation as “self-harm” or a cautionary tale of “mental health crisis” because they cannot fathom the concept of martyrdom. They cannot understand someone giving their lives for a cause they believe in. To put their bodies on the line.

There is a broad effort in gay clubs/bars in the US to discourage Pro-Palestinian activism. The hypocrisy or general ignorance of which doesn’t take into account the centrality of the Vietnam war & anti-war movement to the emergence of the Gay liberation movement in the US (1/10)

Chants of “Free free Palestine” & “Stop arming Israel” rain down from gallery today. House of Commons was disrupted for multiple minutes

I know @ottawacity councillors are known for mobilizing dangerous/stigmatizing policies + practices - but is a new low. @PlanteSteph613, I'm begging you to educate yourself and do better. You have no right to encourage violations of privacy and dignity like this. Shame on you.

there’s an enduring liberal fantasy that if you show enough people something horrific a collective outrage will build and work its magic and, through pre-approved legal means, we’ll all be able to put a stop to it. the current moment is telling us just how false that dream is

BREAKING: The Foreign Affairs Committee just adopted @HMcPhersonMP’s motion ordering Global Affairs Canada to release documents on Canada’s military exports to Israel, going all the way back to 2006. The Canada-Israel arms trade is facing scrutiny for the first time.

Everyone who welcomed Chief Stubbs to Ottawa is responsible for this.

My 92 yr old mom was admitted to a hospital on Dec 16 due to a decubitus ulcer. She came home on Dec 29 with COVID. The hospital has no mask mandate. Mom wore a N95 most of the time. I enrolled mom in Hospice care yesterday. She is a casualty of 1/2

Right now 1 in every 9 Canadians has long covid. 80% have symptoms for longer than 6 months and 50% just never recovered.

StatCan just dropped a bombshell report on LC. This is the most important figure. It highlights that the risk of long term symptoms is cumulative, it increases with increasing number of infections. By 3+ infections, 38% report long term symptoms — that’s 1 in every 2.6 people. 🤯

What happens when we allow ourselves to proceed on the assumption that the Other we fear is always evil, always a monster, always has the worst intentions? What would be possible if we opened up to best possibility in others - and in so doing, the better parts of ourselves?

[Kai Cheng, MSW, MSc, QMed, Extremist for Love @razorfemme]

The central theme of my speech for Dec 6 is what happens when we allow our fear of the Other to override our empathy. I think we all are guilty of this at some time or other. I am deeply curious about the pain that drives us to attack one another.

This year, I was invited to be the keynote at U of T's memorial of the horrific massacre of 14 women at Polytechnique. The choice to invite me has proven controversial because I am trans. May the spirit of compassion that lives in us all lead us to solidarity & a better world.

Not only did Canada abstain from UNGA vote calling for immediate ceasefire but Canada LED attempt to condemn Palestinians.

Never forget that Canada was first country after Israel, even before US, to cut off diplomatic ties and aid to PA after 2006 elections.

. @SarahJama_ representing the people who voted for her by firmly reinstating her solidarity with Palestine and not letting the @OntarioNDP bully her despite their efforts. I’m proud of our MPP who continues to stand against genocide.
