The vast majority of SAG-AFTRA & WGA members are working actors & writers who live paycheck to paycheck. Nobody wants to strike—it makes life harder for everyone. But the world is changing & the industry needs to keep up so people can be reasonably compensated for their work.

What #SAGAFTRA and the #WGA are asking for is reasonable. Please stand with us. #SAGAFTRAStrong #WGAStrong #SAGAFTRAstrike

My heart is in my throat. What’s happening in Winnipeg at the Brady Landfill blockade is so much more than meets the eye. The prospect of people being forcibly removed by police with an injunction; the Native women’s bodies in the dumps; their daughters demanding justice & on the frontlines; the bureaucratic coldness. It’s a catalyst moment for the inertia of the MMIWG genocide.

[Akio Maroon 🦻🏾 @AkioMaroon]

Toronto General Hospital just contacted me to let me know some of the medically necessary testing that I’m scheduled to have is no longer covered by OHIP and I must pay out of pocket on the day of testing to have it completed😭

THANK YOU @fordnation for healthcare privatizing

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

You’ve never been to the
Democratic Plantation?

It’s a mythical place where ignorant negroes throw away votes, spend all their money on Jordans & plan all the Black on Black crime!

It’s not goodbye. It’s thank you for the amazing gifts that played such a big part in the lives of strangers.

If the freedom convoy wants to take credit for the dropping of all public health measures they should also take credit for the medication shortages caused by all the sick people.

People in #Ontario who don’t wear a mask while indoors at a public gathering space, please complete this sentence:

COVID & the flu can be spread by aerosols & Ontario’s paediatric ICUs are now full, but I won’t wear a mask because …

[The Musing Educator 🇨🇦 @MusingEducator]

I’m hearing that some #onted parents have informed school admin that their kids won’t be logging into online classrooms. Why? They support #cupe workers and don’t want their kids crossing virtual picket lines.

[Ⓜⓘⓚⓔ @BaysideBadger @BaysideBadger]

Lots of ppl asking how they can support CUPE & workers over the next wk of escalating labour action.
Here's a quick 👀 at some 🔧🔨🪚⛏️🪛 available, whether you're unionized or not. Please share.

[Cheri DiNovo @CheriDiNovo]

BREAKING: Ford is going to fine CUPE for exercising their legal right to strike by charging those who make #39kIsNotEnough 10% of their yearly salary per day if they walk! @sflecce made $165,851.04 back in 2020. SHAME

[OSBCU-CSCSO @osbcucscso]

Ministry of Education (who is also responsible for Child Care) sent a memo out last week directing centres to deny school age children space during the school day.
Because it is all about the kids, right?
Lecce gives not a fig about kids or families or clearly anyone’s rights

[Mike J. 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 🏳️‍🌈 @MikeJToronto]

It's a very short line from "catch up payment" to "charter school voucher", "school choice". @Sflecce is actively laying the groundwork for phase #3 = the end of high quality, properly-funded public education in Ontario.

Defund, destabilize, dismantle.

Resist!

Rewatching Princess Diaries - we need the next installment - conceiving the Royal Heir - where people get all up in Mia's business about dates and positions, diet, exercise, want to touch her, give opinions on names, generally be rude AF, and Lilly is there to dispatch them.

⚠️Scoop—MOTHER OF GOD—Just got this leak from CDC-insider source—it seems #COVID variants worse than CDC has been admitting. The new highly evasive #BQ1 & #BQ11 sub variants are surging over 11%—but CDC has not shared it yet! Here is what will be posted soon (left) 🆚 current. 🧵

Shortages since May. Can't find any anywhere now

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

Drugstores have been grappling since May with supply shortages of over-the-counter medications for children containing acetaminophen (also known by the brand name Tylenol), and ibuprofen (Advil) due to heightened demand and supply chain constraints.

While women around the world have spent their days fighting, & dying, for basic human rights, Pierre Poilievre has been trying to attract incels, people who hate women, to his videos. Remember that the next time he tells you he believes in women’s rights.

[Loran Steplock @LightningLoran]

The replies to the original tweet say it all: Lecce lies and has engineered this strike position from education workers. He doesn't care about kids - he wants to privatize education. He's pitting parents against workers - when he is the one being unreasonable.

[Stephen Lecce @Sflecce]

100% of parents want their children in class.

We will stand up to ensure all kids learn in-class without disruption, right to June.

Because it's about the kids, right??
