Children are born with the same possibility. The world just gives some of them a head start.

If those in power had to experience this cold themselves, we might finally move faster on solving homelessness.

I guess Zohran just proved moral courage still wins elections. He dared to see Palestinians as people and still won.

I think a lot of folks won’t see the full humanity of Palestinians for the same reason they won’t recognize Palestine as a state: doing so would mean accepting moral and legal responsibilities they’d rather deny.

As a healthcare provider in Regent Park, I joined the community yesterday in mourning and rage as the supervised consumption site Bevel Up had its last day of service. It’s truly hard to express the cruelty this represents for people who use drugs. /1 #onpoli #medsky #topoli #cdnpoli

Most supervised consumption sites that were set to close won’t offer service despite injunction. Here’s why
Despite an injunction on Friday, provincial funding is contingent on transition to new model.

"You must stay in the US to fight fascism with the working class" has got to be an op. People should flee of they feel like they need to flee but also, learn about maybe how activism isn't limited by a border...

Wild how folks are “too much” when they speak up, “not a priority” when they ask for change — but suddenly “crucial” when it’s time to vote. Can’t treat people like a problem and expect them to solve yours.

As we move through the last 10 nights of Ramadan, I’m thinking of those fasting for the first time and those fasting through war, loss, and displacement — especially in Gaza and Sudan. May you find strength, relief, and a peace that lasts beyond this month.

Fascism doesn’t silence you — it just makes you think other people’s suffering isn’t your problem. This is why a lot of folks don’t realize that their fight is your fight.

You know why some people get life-saving meds while others start GoFundMe’s or why some neighbourhoods have more liquor stores than clinics? It’s not random — it’s policy, power, and priorities. And that’s why being apolitical is choosing to ignore the system that hurts so many.

Suggesting Palestinians be removed is like saying moving Black South Africans would’ve solved apartheid — it's not a solution, it's a denial of justice.

It's the eighth anniversary of the shooting attack inside the Great Mosque in Quebec City. We will never forget Ibrahima Barry, Mamadou Tanou Barry, Khaled Belkacemi, Abdelkrim Hassane, Azzedine Soufiane and Aboubaker Thabti. Here's a video of the commemoration, held on Saturday.

The fact that someone who just unexpectedly lost a loved one needs to get medical forms completed to take time off work for bereavement is SO WRONG. Sudden bereavement doesn't need a medical explanation ffs. Employers shouldn't be allowed to pull this shit.

You call them heroes when they save your homes, but pay them crumbs to risk their lives. 95% are Black, Latinx, or Filipino — because this country never misses a chance to exploit marginalized kids and call it 'justice'.
