@BeverlyBain13 @MayorOliviaChow I am so disappointed! The left rallied around her. They’re always left, until it comes to Palestine. VIVA VIVA PALESTINA!

[Parents of Black Children @PoBCAdvocate]

Black students should not have to face anti-Black racism while at school. York Memorial students are standing up for their right to an equitable education, and we will continue to stand by them! #memostrikes

@BeyLegion Why is it a CD and not a Vinyl?

[Melissa Theodore @robbyngiselle]

@raniqualee Re-Education is even better!

[jatella @jatella]

the weekend is only 48hrs hrs. thinking about that alone should make one an anti-capitalist.

Why is this still happening?? It's freezing out, the pandemic is raging, why are evictions happening??

I love @rihanna as much as the next person but why are y'all celebrating Black capitalism. She comes from a country's who's poverty rate is 17.2%. Think about how 1.9 billion dollars could be redistributed in a country who's economic wealth was stifled by the IMF and the USA

"Anyone who has worked in a Canadian newsroom has encountered the reluctance or resistance to covering Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories... Racialized journalists have reported feeling overly scrutinized, or even censored, after every story pitch on this region."

[Truong Vu @TVuHPE]

@ETFOPeel When did the outright ignoring of students become acceptable when it comes to the best pedagogy? This proposed hybrid model gives no one an advantage, except for saving $$. @PeelSchools I can no longer sit & watch this happen. Peel prides ourselves in being progressive?

Palestine is the litmus test. Your progressiveness is performative if you can’t see this clearly as occupier vs occupied. The Nakba is ongoing — don’t be cowardly and complicit.

[𝘀𝗼𝗳𝗲𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 @goodlucksofea]

Stop calling what is happening between israel and palestine a “conflict.” a conflict infers both sides have an equal power. What is happening in palestine shows none of that. This isn’t a conflict, it’s ethnic cleansing, oppression, and apartheid.

By now you are aware of the key take aways that should be implemented across all the Boards to make it a safer space for all Black students. You don’t have to wait until the report is complete. @Sflecce @HaltonDSB

[Melissa Theodore @robbyngiselle]

Lecce, the next Board on the list is the HDSB! Time to eliminate the inherent and life-destroying systemic anti-black racism. Watch the following videos. Shame on HDSB! @Sflecce @HaltonDSB 1. https://t.co/0sJWGZndgR 2. https://t.co/pVzCQQAl8Z

[Melissa Theodore @robbyngiselle]

We need immediate action: Staff involved should be disciplined and replaced. The anti-Black racism investigation should be swift and impactful. Although we need specific data on this Board, by now you are aware of how rampant anti-Black racism is across all the Boards. @Sflecce
