@VancouverPD @VanPoliceFnd @VancouverPD if your budget was reduced, even by a fraction, every single unhoused person in Vancouver could be housed. So take your propaganda and stuff it.

@BCFerries @BCFerries is there a 10 or 11pm today from Swartz bay to tsawassen?

@ROCKNRILEY @michellecyca @ROCKNRILEY Paramedics and fire fighters *actually* provide an essential service, saving lives. Whereas the VPD (and police generally) execute, in broad daylight, unarmed citizens. There’s a qualitative difference.

@edmontonpolice They didn’t release the evidence because cops don’t keep us safe. #abolishthepolice

BREAKING: expanding oil spill in false creek, Vancouver. #vancouver #scienceworld #oilspill

.@jjhorganand @JustinTrudeau - listen to the voices urging you to #cancelrent and mortgages now. #covid19 means many can't pay. https://t.co/NEWKf6uXoF

@_edenamber @camidlifecrisis All levels of government need to co-implement emergency UBI and a suspension of rent *that does not accrue debt* along side the moratorium on evictions.

@caminitodelrey1 Will you be open tomorrow? There’s a 90% chance of rain and it’s quite a journey to travel. Please advise.

We need brave climate champions willing to work across party lines. That’s why I’m with @leadnowca today, helping elect @MatthewGreenNDP in #hamiltoncentre. Time to #cooperate4climste! #elxn43

@bruce_smith_it @claire_atkin Because flavoured drinks are driving the climate crisis.

@GZenji It’s such a spectacular failure of human will and imagination that we haven’t devised away to protect the living earth.

Reminder: Caging kids is a for-profit enterprise, & the people who profit off camps finance the political campaigns of those who legislate more caging.

If you want to follow the money: GEO Group & CoreCivic are big ones. Look at the lenders & private equity grps they deal with.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Wayfair workers couldn’t stomach they were making beds to cage children.

They asked the company to stop. CEO said no.

Tomorrow, they‘re walking out.

This is what solidarity looks like - a reminder that everyday people have real power, as long as we’re brave enough to use it.

@GZenji What a disgusting sign of the times.

[Michael Fraser @mchlfray]

@realDonaldTrump Will some please impeach this man already?!

[Michael Fraser @mchlfray]

@GZenji Hah!

[Michael Fraser @mchlfray]

@claire_atkin I am. Just about to see a show.

[Michael Fraser @mchlfray]

This is unacceptable.

[Jacques Gallant @JacquesGallant]

I'm from a very small Canadian town. Today in Canada's biggest and so-called most progressive city, I was called a faggot from the sidewalk for the first time in almost 10 years. I have nothing else to say, aside from do better.
