i want to live in a world where, "these people are suffering under our current social rules, we should help them" was a convincing argument for change

Brian you supported doubling ICE’s budget last year, backing what you described as a Republican “border security” bill. Given ICE’s lawlessness, do you think, in retrospect, this was a wise idea?
Daniel Leão 🇵🇸 retweeted
No, that's not what a keffiyeh means. It signals solidarity with the Palestinian people undergoing a genocide.
Do you have anything to say about starving & killing women & children, Nico?
CIJA, Israel's lobby group here, is foreign interference.
Sean, meanwhile, has integrity.

I mean seriously is there a sicker society in the world than one where people lose their jobs and then just roam the streets starving and covered in dirt and everyone just says "don't look at them"

The police force with the highest paid officers in Canada is expected to be millions of dollars over budget.

Again. Projected to be over budget by millions again. They've also never been publicly audited.
The Vancouver Police Department is projecting to be millions of dollars over budget by the end of year, according to a report.

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.
If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

VicPD will now do a land acknowledgment before they sweep an encampment and throw away someone’s home and all of their belongings

🚨 Aid operations in #Gaza are on the brink of collapse.
The consequences are already deadly.
We call on world leaders to press for:
❗️Lifting the blockade
❗️A renewed ceasefire
❗️Letting aid organizations operate in line with humanitarian principles

Fuck like I know the numbers and I know this shit happens every day but it still levels me when it’s someone I knew personally. RIP man I hope it’s easier on the other side. Wish we coulda done better by you
Devastated💔 that a colleague in harm reduction passed away yesterday.
Trey Helton toured me inside OPS on Hastings close to @InsiteOfficial. He introduced me to the volunteers & answered every question I had, which is a feat!
T's wisdom&kindness forever in my 💜

This is the hardest and most heartbreaking thing I have ever had to write. Trey Helten was my friend and a friend to so many people. He touched so many people in so many ways. He left a legacy of kindness and selfessness that was an inspiration to all. Through his example… we won’t forget to forget the politics and remember the people. I will miss you Trey.

Israel will likely violate the ceasefire, and will exploit its loopholes, and will continue ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and will continue violating international law. This should serve daily as a reminder to us all, that there is no peace without liberation.

Why don't the other reporters there ask that question?
Reporter @samhusseini was just physically dragged from Blinken’s briefing. “Why aren’t you at The Hague?” he asked.

A more senior medical colleague told me that the way people are being suspended from work as doctors for solidarity with Palestine is completely unprecedented, and doctors who are accused of sexual abuse not even being punished with the severity of ‘guilty until proven innocent’.
Daniel Leão 🇵🇸 retweeted
Unwavering solidarity to @ProfKFranke. Yet another victim of the pro-Israelism that is turning universities, and other spaces of public life, into places of obscurantism, discrimination and oppression. What a loss for @ColumbiaUniver.

Trudeau is a centre right Neoliberal.
Anyone calling him a leftist is
1) dumb or
2) trying to make you dumb.

First-past-the-post is voter suppression by design:
1️⃣ Bad governments stay in power with 40% of the vote.
2️⃣ Vote-splitting makes it almost impossible for new parties and new ideas to emerge.
It’s time to make every vote count. Proportional representation now.
ALT A chart compares First-Past-the-Post (FPTP) and Proportional Representation (PR). PR outperforms FPTP in key areas: real voter choice, votes counting, seats matching the popular vote, majority-supported laws, and cooperation. FPTP is marked as limited, distorted, and adversarial. PR is labeled "UPGRADE NOW." Source: fairvote.ca.

Homelessness is a policy failure, not a crime. Don’t blame the victims by criminalizing them or taking away their human rights , use the humane policy solutions that we know work. Wellesley Institute wellesleyinstitute.com/housi…
