Doug Ford falsely claimed that the Al-Quds Day anti-war demonstration was dangerous and had to be shut down. But it was two pro-Israel counter-protestors who were charged with assault on “suspected hate-motivated offences.” If Ford wants to address hate, he is looking in the wrong direction.

You can talk about nukes and the "Mullahs" til the cows come home, but really what all of this boils down to is a bunch of white people sailing from the other side of the planet to steal resources & land. This is the "culture" of European settlers and has been for centuries.

A couple of years ago in London, Ontario, a guy driving a pickup saw a Muslim family and purposely jumped the curb, killing a 15 year old girl, both of her parents, and her grandmother. Her 9 year old brother survived No such security funding was granted to the Muslim community.

Jewish Canadians, like all Canadians, should never have to their that they are under attack in places of worship, schools, or community spaces. In response to the recent rise in hate-motivated incidents in Toronto and across the country, our government is investing up to $10 million through the Canada Community Security Program (CCSP) to help Jewish institutions strengthen security at gathering spaces such as schools, daycares, camps, and places of worship. We also are pressing to pass our Combatting Hate Legislation which will protect all religions and people in their places of worship. We will continue working closely with community leaders and law enforcement to confront antisemitism and keep Canadians safe, and make sure the perpetrators are speedily brought to justice. 🇨🇦 Les Canadiens juifs, comme tous les Canadiens, ne devraient jamais avoir à craindre d'être agressés dans leurs lieux de prière, leurs écoles ou leurs espaces communautaires. En réponse à la récente augmentation des actes motivés par la haine à Toronto et dans tout le pays, notre gouvernement investit jusqu'à 10 millions de dollars dans le cadre du Programme de sécurité communautaire du Canada (PSCC) afin d'aider les institutions juives à renforcer la sécurité dans les lieux de rassemblement tels que les écoles, les garderies, les camps et les lieux de prière. Nous faisons également pression pour faire adopter notre projet de loi contre la haine, qui protégera toutes les religions et toutes les personnes dans leurs lieux de pratique religieuse. Nous continuerons à travailler en étroite collaboration avec les dirigeants communautaires et les forces de l'ordre pour lutter contre l'antisémitisme, assurer la sécurité des Canadiens et veiller à ce que les auteurs de ces actes soient rapidement poursuivis en justice.

BAM ADEBAYO: "To have 83 the first game she's here is very special... the behind-the-scenes, the workouts, the conversations, they're very motivating, and obviously you see what she does... you get inspired by that. I'm thankful to have her in my life." A'JA WILSON: "I see the countless hours, the early morning workouts, the questioning the self, I see all that... this has been an incredible journey for Bam... I know he says I'm his inspiration, but I don't think he has a clue how much he inspires me."

This is the whole problem. It's not up to an imaginary "someone" to stop Trump, Hesgeth, Netanyahu etc. It's up to us. WE are failing to stop them. This is OUR job. Our only job in fact is to organise to stop them. And we are failing among other reasons by waiting for "someone".
Rohan Connolly@rohan_connolly

If we all survive this shitshow, in decades to come we’ll look back and ask how the hell did an entire world allow one complete lunatic to put us all in mortal danger without someone actively stepping in to stop him.

My biggest problem with modern history lessons as an African is we're taught it from a Euro/American centric view As an African you can't convince me Hitler was the most evil man to ever live. Sure he was evil to the Europeans But to an African from the Congo, King Leopold who butchered them is the most evil man To a black South African, Jan Van Riebeeck who took their land is the most evil man To a Zimbabwean, Zambian or Malawian, Cecil John Rhodes is the most evil man If our forefathers had the power to k!ll any of these men, the least of their concerns would be a mad man in Europe Why is our African history minimized but European history magnified?

We need to start from the dignity of every human life. Every person is precious. Forgetting that, or never accepting it, has left us here.

Ian Copeland, PhD@IanCopeland5·
The internet gave everyone a microphone but took away the pause that used to come before speaking. When decades of research from PhDs is treated as just another “opinion,” expertise collapses into nothingness. A society that can’t tell the difference between knowledge and confidence eventually makes decisions based on the loudest voice, not the smartest one. That’s not a progress problem, it’s a survival problem.

interesting to me that polo shirts are rooted in sport (polo, tennis, and golf) but seen are more respectable and even quasi-business attire simply bc upper class white men played these sports. football jerseys, basketball shorts, and women's athleisure are seen differently
Gad Saad@GadSaad

Why do women no longer wear any real clothes and instead are always in athleisure? It’s grotesque. Every single woman at the cafe is dressed in this manner.

Hard to find words, but here is an attempt. It is(*) obvious that European, Israeli and American citizens are not able to control our own brutal monsters, either economic or geopolitical, despite our "democracies" and "rule of law." Their escalating destruction endangers all. 1/
