I’m so sick of “get vaccinated” being the only solution we hear to this crisis.
Milan Gokhale retweeted
For the love of god, the answer isn’t just to get vaccinated.
The answer is paid sick days.
The answer is getting vaccines to millions around the globe.
The answer is publicly producing and distributing PPE.
The answer is our governments protecting us over corporate profit.

Today's my last day at Google. Starting tomorrow I'm joining @timnitGebru at @DAIRInstitute as Director of Research.
On my way out, here's some thoughts on the tech company as a racialized organization and the power of complaint.

Canadians with immigrant parents know this shit first hand. Not only did we see our parents slavishly devote themselves to work, but they even passed a lot of that anxiety onto us, which is why so many of us feel a ways about taking our damn PTO.

Truth: There can be no reconciliation when Canada is illegally occupying Indigenous land. The state has built an entire political and economic system that relies on displacement from our lands, and the extermination of our sovereign rights as Indigenous people.

Remember, just this week a story broke about Amazon using AI cameras to penalize and steal wages from their delivery drivers.
Absolutely nothing good can come from Amazon pioneering surveillance technologies to further racial class warfare and the expansion of carceral state.

I happened to walk by this mural of #BrianSinclair in Winnipeg today. 34 hours refers to the time he waited without treatment in ER before he died.

I am incredibly proud today to join over 1000 colleagues in the health community across Canada expressing solidarity with Palestinians living under occupation, and upholding human rights and international law. There is #NoHealthUnderOccupation.

Israel is gearing up for all-out warfare in #Jerusalem and beyond- and women & children will pay the steepest price. 7 families were served eviction orders (under appeal) and faced violent dispossession. The media will have you believe this a "property dispute". It is not. Thread

Why do I think we need #UNDRIP? Because Canada is an outlaw - it is a state perpetrator of #genocide & none of Canada's domestic laws have stopped the grave human rights breaches. #systemicracism #genocide #BillC15 #MMIWG #cdnpoli #landback #YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=N9FLe_ZL…

Canada must uphold international law, work with partners for peace in Israel & Palestine, end trade & economic cooperation with illegal settlements & suspend the bilateral trade of all arms & related materials until Palestinian rights are upheld. #FreeSheikhJarrah #Palestine
We expect to see MPs debate the underlying issues driving the current crisis - such as Israel's crimes of apartheid and ethnic cleansing - and to commit to concrete action, including targeted sanctions, an arms embargo or a targeted ban on trade. cjpme.org/pr_2021_05_11_emer…
