Frederick Douglass, the mighty abolitionist, was the single most photographed person in the United States during the nineteenth century. Here's how he might've looked in motion. Brace yourself and press play.

Did he really just call a parking lot the heart of the community? That a parking lot is worth more than health, safety & well-being of homeless people? Safe housing is the difference between life & death versus parking for swimming lessons. #humanrights

There is no excuse after 150+ years why First Nations do not ALL have safe, clean drinking water. This is an example of systemic racism & a human rights crisis. Auditor General report says Canada NOT ensuring safe water is similar to reports in 2011 & 2005. #waterislife

Cindy Gladue was a mom murdered in Alberta. At trial, they called her "Native" or "prostitute" over 50 times & the Crown brought her pelvic tissue into the courtroom. The suspect was acquitted. In 2019, the SCC ordered a new trial. #Colonialruleoflaw 15 https://t.co/aGhmSXofAN

The TDSB has confirmed that four staff members at Newtonbrook Secondary School are on home assignment while the board investigates why the parents of abducted teen Shammah Jolayemi were not notified about his absence from school until after 6 p.m. on Wednesday.

They are starting to get more and more desperate...
This shows that we’re winning.

Today’s outcome in Harvey Weinstein’s New York trial is the result of the decisions of multiple women to come forward to journalists and to prosecutors at great personal cost and risk. Please keep those women in your thoughts today.

The gov't says if you are an Indian or not. Your land is in trust of the Queen- you own nothing & even your will can be changed by the gov't. It imposes band councils, & the feds control public services. This is the Indian Act. It is still in effect. Res 8 #Colonialruleoflaw

JUST IN: CN Rail confirms it is laying off roughly 450 employees due to the ongoing rail blockades.

Now we wanna talk about RANGE

[Pam Palmater @Pam_Palmater]

Exactly as predicted - manufactured crisis to vilify First Nations and put pressure on police. @VIA_Rail is creating a crisis that doesn't exist and it will hurt workers in the process.

Oh my gosh... just betting that most of these Republican lawmakers don't actually use tampons...

People with disabilities may face more challenges getting around Vancouver with protests popping up without warning in busy areas. https://t.co/ntMPvA2xhD

[Alicia Elliott - AND THEN SHE FELL out now! @WordsandGuitar]

Mohawks have no idea how complex Indigenous governance issues are?

We have one of the oldest governance systems in the world. Our Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council inspired American democracy. Then RCMP forced a band council onto Six Nations at gunpoint in 1924

WE KNOW

BREAKING: We’ve secured a court order forcing President Trump to pay $2M in damages after admitting to illegally using the Trump Foundation to help him intervene in the 2016 presidential election and further his own political interests.

No one is above the law.
