This story is filed under 'Indigenous' on the @CBCNews website. If we want to talk about real anti-racism action, Chantal Moore's name should be up there with George Floyd's. #IndigenousLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter

@calcul8r dates back to 1783 when previously-welcomed black British loyalists left Nova Scotia for Freetown coz, well, they were done with that shit. Kudos to them for giving it a 7-yr. run. We didn’t abolish slavery until the Empire did in 1834. But why *not* blame Trudeau Sr., right?

@calcul8r Jesus Christ, people! WTF? This man needs to read a bit of history (notice I say a ‘bit’ - you don’t even need to go that deep!) to find out that Canada’s *actual* (perceived, my ass!) evidence of problems with black racism /2

In light of the ATRF analysis that shows the fund would be worth $1.3 billion less if invested like LAPP was. Travis said that he "didn't accept" that finding.

Pretty disappointed with my professional association right now, @albertateachers - what's the point of all the fighting we do for social justice if we don't act when it's toughest to do so and when it really matters?

President Jair Bolsonaro has galvanized gun culture in Brazil. He and his sons have helped fuel a gun rights movement that had little popular support, or political clout, in the country before he took office. https://t.co/sXbbbgveMH

@followthelemur Looks a lot easier than the one I found - have you made it? Is it nice?

[Jen Arko @jcarko]

@followthelemur Do I have your gmail? Do you have mine? (Same prefix as my twitter handle.)

[Jen Arko @jcarko]

@followthelemur We should try at some point!

[Jen Arko @jcarko]

@followthelemur It’s slightly harder to laugh at it at the moment, but still possible
