1. This is the story of Ursula Franklin — the badass Toronto scientist who used hundreds of thousands of human teeth to fight nuclear weapons.

"Kenneth Vineyard, 48, rushed to the side of a perfect stranger while he lay bleeding on the ground. And for that selfless act, he paid with his life. 'This appears to be another instance of senseless police violence,' said attorney Joel Sansone." cbsnews.com/amp/pittsburgh/n…

As a Jew, when I hear someone say "Merry Christmas" I get so triggered that I create a vast cultural legacy of theater, music and literature and share it with the world

Canada goes to the polls Monday. There's one party that stood up for working people in the pandemic. One leader who has the courage to make the wealthy pay their fair share so everyone gets the medication they need. That's why I support the @NDP and @theJagmeetSingh.

SEVEN. HUNDRED. FIFTY. ONE. 751 unmarked graves have been found at a former residential school by the Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan. The next time someone tells you "This isn't Canada", tell them it is. This is a country built on genocide.

City Council is so desperate to throw poor and working class out of Toronto that it’d rather sink money into military operations to evict homeless people than build affordable housing. How much did this cost @JohnTory? Will it be repeated for the other encampments???

With over 10,000 participants and spectators, the 1933 Christie Pits Riot in Toronto remains one of the worst outbreaks of ethnic violence in Canadian history. Learn the story in our NEW video, part of a series on #multiculturalism in Canada.

If Canada cares, we’ll lower our flags. We’ll have a national week of mourning. We’ll stop fighting Residential School Survivors in court. We’ll act on Truth & Reconciliation. If Canada cares, we’ll accept this genocide isn’t just our past, but our present too. #215children

super cool that the Ontario government saw that Covid disproportionately affects low-income, racialized people and decided the solution was to criminalize them for it

More powers for police won’t stop this virus. Vaccines and paid sick leave will.

It took: 5 MDs 4 ICU RNs 4 RTs 1 perfusionist & 3 critical care paramedics 3 hrs To save my ~40 yr old #COVID patient with #ECMO It would have cost @ongov $114 (8h x min wage) to allow her husband to take a day off work from his factory in known outbreak. We have lost our way.

So, as a (relatively lol) young person who spent two months in hospital nearly dying of Covid and just had my 4th post-covid surgery last week, I’m about to rant about this new Ontario Emergency break” so bear with me through my very first Twitter thread:

When your position is both “People who can’t afford to go to college shouldn’t take out loans to do it” and “People who do jobs that don’t require a college degree shouldn’t be paid a living wage” it kind of starts to seem like you just want to keep poor people poor.
