ramadan kareem to those who are partaking in the holy month, especially those fasting without community, through grief, financial uncertainty, and all the other difficulties this pandemic has exasperated. may Allah swt protect you and grant you ease 🤲🏾✨💫

#Mask wearing isn’t a restriction; it is a protection. Like speed limits aren’t restrictions on freedom; they protect freedom to be safe on the road. Masks protect living life around #COVID19. Hard for vulnerable to live if in hospital, dying. Temporary common sense protection

Are protesters in Quebec going to also ask for Bill 21 to be repealed since they’re fighting for freedom? Asking for a friend.

Please understand that pointing to the lack of police violence against the convoy protesters is not a call for violence. It's pointing out that the absence of police violence is possible and should be expected when protesting, especially for Black and Indigenous communities.

[TRIGGER ALERT] A thread about a frequent racial micro-aggression in domestic cases involving South Asian people. When a person pleads guilty, the Crown will read in 'the facts' to substantiate the charges. This will include some background information. 1/12

So let me get this straight: Ottawa Police wasted no time removing unhoused people living in encampments with nowhere else to go but won't remove "freedom" protestors who pee on war memorials, steal food from the unhoused, carry Nazi flags & cause businesses/schools to be closed?

city of toronto been throwing our money to erase unhoused people from public consciousness. $2-million to violently evict people from parks instead of coming up with adequate housing solutions. a legal team to sue khaleel seivwright, the carpenter who was making tiny shelters
it is -30 in toronto tonight. and this was picture of the TTC last night taken by @fatnmostly. do not look away — this is canada’s failure on housing as a human right. we need all levels of government to end homelessness now.

Let's get one thing straight: The Ontario government's decision to shorten the COVID-19 isolation period to 5 days without also providing workers with free N95 masks, rapid tests & adequate paid sick days is a business decision, not a public health decision.

the ontario government really allowed a private company to open up a same-day $180 PCR test shop in the mall like it’s prada – at Toronto, Ontario

A company being able to sell same-day PCR tests for $180 is heartbreaking when you consider it would take someone on minimum wage 12.5 hours to afford one test. If it's crucial for public health, it should be free & easily accessible in Ontario. This shouldn't be a radical idea.

Canadians disgusted by Roe v Wade being reassessed in USA but Quebec is out here firing women teachers who wear a hijab. Canada has no right to pretend it cares about bodily agency of women.

This is a card Elin Wilson drew for her teacher Fatemah Anvari after she lost her position because of Bill 21, shared by @AmiraElghawaby Even a third-grader thinks this entire situation is "not fair." What exactly is the Quebec government is teaching them by doing this?
