I love this country
I care about it deeply
Every day, I fight to make it a better place
Right now, we are in mourning as unmarked graves are found
And, as Indigenous communities grieve
They have asked that we mark #CanadaDay in reflection not celebration
I will honour this

My mom worked at a store in Chinatown that was robbed at gunpoint when I was 16. She was run over by a car robbing the store when I was 18. Yesterday, she was threatened again by a gun. I'm 23 now. This violence isn't new and continues to threaten our livelihoods every day. 1/7
Today, an elderly Asian woman beat up her attacker in San Francisco. He ended up in a stretcher.
Don’t mess with our 外婆s. She still looks badly hurt too 🥺 #StopAsianHate#StopAAPIHate
The Atlanta shooter blamed a specific race of people for his problems, and then murdered them because of it. If that’s not racism, then the word has no meaning.
The #HK47, standard bearers of the democratic hopes of Hong Kong citizens, must be strongly supported from #democrats world wide. Their cause is a common cause. https://t.co/hsoIqfxuKQ
Four days, eight hospitalized, dozens of lawyers, and all 47 Hong Kong pro-democracy activists are back where they started: in detention.

These prosecutions are an unprecedented attack on freedom of expression and association in Hong Kong, and the four-day hearing in gruelling conditions casts grave doubts over the fairness of this trial from the start. https://t.co/8z5wu2tBSC
