Take a slave owner or residential school founder’s name off a street or remove a statue and there’ll be endless screaming about preserving history. But when Israel destroys Tyre - older than all European capitals - in Lebanon and destroys ancient monuments it’s silence.
Grocery stores asking struggling customers to “donate to fight hunger” at the checkout while they throw out perfectly good food behind closed doors is one of the biggest hypocrisies in our society.
If food is still safe to eat and within days of expiring, it should be going to food banks, shelters, and people in need, not dumpsters.
We don’t have a food shortage, we have a system that would rather waste food than feed people.
In the West Bank, we talked for hours with victims of horrific rape and abuse in Israeli prisons. We talked with women assaulted and sexually harassed at checkpoints. I emailed my MP Shannon Miedema asking to meet to discuss what I witnessed, and she never responded.
@ElJonesPoet@aamer_rahman Not to mention how gross it is he uses his research of Indigenous peoples in another country to back up his oppressive views.
@daisyyoda I dont know if we are reading the same document. You are openly transphobic and theorizing about the gender of a shooting victim, to what end? How does any of that uphold the values and principles of social justice?
