A state of emergency has been declared in Iqaluit after city staff found evidence of fuel contamination in the city's treated water supply. The water is unsafe to drink, even if filtered or boiled, according to the municipality.

Looking out my window, staring at the beautiful weather outside really wishing I didn’t procrastinate taking a first year bio course so I could be outside instead of learning about MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS 🥲

It’s really this simple.

I mean, we don't need an investigation to know that an air freshener isn't a reason to kill someone.

Daunte Wright should still be alive. His life mattered, and my heart breaks for his family and friends.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

#DaunteWright was just 20-years-old and the father of a son, Daunte Wright Jr., who will turn 2 in July. He studied at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.

The street where Wright died is about 12 miles north of where George Floyd was killed last summer.

Daunte Wright, 20, was killed by police yesterday, after according to his father they pulled him over because an air freshener was allegedly blocking his rearview mirror. This happened 10 miles away from the Chauvin trial. https://t.co/O7fzZZaGk1

Thinking of Daunte Wright's family. Thinking of the greater Minneapolis community. Thinking of all the Black folks who wake up to this news again and again and again and again and again. Thinking of the toll is takes on your body, the air it pulls from your lungs. Every time.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

George Floyd died because he was murdered by a police officer.

Nothing more, nothing less.

i don't think cis guys realize how much power they can shift in a conversation just by casually telling their friends "that's fucked up, man" when someone says something bigoted

[Izzy Thurston @izzy_thurston]

#TransDayOfVisibility There are so many things to do, on all days to show up for the Transgender Community, one of which is educating yourself, especially if you are cis gendered. There are SO many amazing resources out there 💕 never stop doing the work

@VancityReynolds please take a look at my petition. It's to implement a Race and Ethnicity course in BC schools. As you are from BC I figured this would be an issue close to you. Please take a look and promote if you can!! https://t.co/6oVsCkYlOI

Stop putting white feelings over black lives #blm

[Izzy Thurston @izzy_thurston]

Show up daily, educate yourself and listen to BIPOC. It's the absolute minimum we can do as white people
