Toronto Tempo’s María Conde and Temi Fágbénlé using their platforms to raise awareness the Macklemore/Ed Sheeran situation, and Palestine, respectively. 🇵🇸
They might as well be my favourite players on the Tempo. 🤞 🤞
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Israelis have no bounds. If they do this to a US Congressman, imagine what they do to innocent Palestinians with no power. This is obvious apartheid!! Why are we being forced to finance these atrocities?!
I don't think most people are fully grasping what happened to Omar Artan. Citizens of African countries cannot travel to the US without first navigating a highly restrictive, discriminatory visa process. Africans face the highest refusal rates globally, not only for US visas +
Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating today 🤍
praying for the families of Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha, and Nader Awad who were killed at their mosque in San Diego while protecting children at school.
celebrating eid as a Muslim this year means carrying both the joy and the weight.
Ontario police are using spyware that lets them remotely take over your smartphone. They’re fighting to keep almost everything about it secret https://t.co/tQ1D0WF7M7
Three men lost their lives on Monday protecting their community.
Amin Abdullah, the security guard and father of 8, stood in front of the gunmen so 140 children could hide.
Mansour Kaziha, a pillar of the mosque for nearly 40 years, called 911.
Nader Awad ran toward the danger to draw the shooters away.
They were fathers, husbands, pillars of their mosque. They chose others over themselves.
Our hearts are with their families and the entire Muslim community of San Diego.
Islamophobia kills. This is not a debate. It’s reality.

I have no words. We live in a morally topsy turvy world where one rogue state can destroy all possibility of life around it and saying as much publicly would earn you the label of an antisemite.
the fact that there is no mass Western response to the policy is making me feel insane. this policy is the most explicit act of institutionalized genocide since Cambodia, if not the Holocaust itself.
