All right, let's talk about criminal defence lawyers – you know, the lawyers that people love to criticize as deeply selfish and unethical... until they find themselves falsely accused of wrongdoing: canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/d…
1/5 In 2021/2022, an average of 78% (or 5,720 of 7,315) of provincial prisoners were in pre-trial detention. www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.…
So let me get this straight: The City of Toronto was ok with the Toronto Police using $337,000 of our tax dollars to create a podcast barely anyone listened to...but wasn't ok using $400,000 to fund a 24/7 warming centre to prevent hypothermia & death? Where are our priorities?
Waiting for provincial premiers to call for policing reform in response to the killing of an indigenous man by police the same way that they called for bail reform a few weeks ago. We’re just not doing enough to get murderous RCMP officers off our streets. apple.news/AKB62w2LvTHq_B…
Major decision with implications for all Ontario municipalities. Ontario's Superior Court denies injunction sought by Waterloo Region to remove encampments. Judge rules bylaw inoperative until Region provides needed "accessible shelter beds" 2023 ONSC 670 #onmuni
"Research shows it costs taxpayers $31,065 a year to criminalize a single person experiencing homelessness while the yearly cost for providing supportive housing is $10,051." housingmatters.urban.org/feature/homele…
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. The reason: The country applies a “Housing First” concept. Those affected by homelessness receive a small apartment and counselling – without any preconditions. And: This policy is cheaper than accepting homelessness.
Last thing I always come back to when thinking about this. All but a tiny number of people who are charged with/convicted of violent crimes leave custody eventually. What are we doing in the meantime (and really before it happened or escalated.) That’s what will make us safer.
Really important thread: The immediate calls for bail reform with a ‘hard on crime’ lens, coupled with the thin blue line support shown by police precincts and union reps should give us pause. Our carceral system already disproportionately targets Black (cont’d)

Read that again. Cold + wet = death. This is not hyperbole, or overstating the situation People have been desperately trying to get inside to escape the cops who are brutalizing them for existing in public, and now because we have slammed the door in their face, they will die!
So let me get this straight: The City of Toronto plans to only open warming centres for unhoused people when the temp hits -15 C (without windchill), but research shows most cases of hypothermia happen when temperatures are warmer than −15 C? Open. The. Warming. Centres. Now.
BREAKING: An Ontario court has struck down Bill 124 -- a controversial piece of legislation that imposed a 1% wage cam on public sector employees. globalnews.ca/news/9312631/o… #onpoli
New details and more properties in DRAP linked to DeGasperis. #SaveDRAP #HandsOffTheGreenbelt cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
Grab your signs! Meet us at 1 pm in Pickering to get loud and reject the loss of #DRAP, the erosion of the #Greenbelt, and chaos of #Bill23. Time to wrestle #Ontario and #OnPoli back from brink of the #DarkAges and into #ClimateActionNOW #CompleteCommunities #EcosystemServices
There is nothing illegal about this strike. Bill 28's suspension of Charter Rights is unjust and inexcusable. Unjust laws cannot be tolerated in a democratic society and must be collectively defied until the unjust law is repealed. #ontedsolidarity #39kIsNotEnough #KillBill28
Remote learning during an education worker strike is crossing a picket line. Full stop. #onted #onpoli #onlab #CUPESolidarity
CUPE says they are on strike "indefinitely" and vowing to return to the kind of labour action from the time before legally protected strikes even existed. "They don't know what they have started." #onpoli
Solidarity with CUPE education workers 💪

76K Followers 1K FollowingFriendly reminder that Dr. King was 26 years old at the time of the Montgomery Bus Boycott—not that much older than most of the students occupying campuses at the moment. For those folks who think these brave young people ain’t old enough to have enough sense for moral clarity.
bidens unwillingness to stand against the genocide and letting police brutalize student movements is astonishing. if he loses in 2024 it’s entirely on his lack of leadership in this moment
Every union member in the country should take a long, hard look at how the state is treating a bunch of rich college kids hanging out in tents on a college quad because all that shit is coming to a picket line near you very, very soon.
CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."
I owe an apology to Hillary Clinton supporters. I always said she ran the worst campaign possible, but I think Biden’s reelection campaign might take the cake
don't fall for these shifting goalposts. as soon as arrest records confirm that most arrestees are students, the discourse will shift to why those students deserved to be arrested
It will be interesting to learn how many of those arrested in Hamilton Hall at Columbia are actually students.
the student uprisings of the 1960s were considerably more violent than anything you are seeing today. it is not close. students at kent state burned the ROTC building to the ground. when black students took over a building at cornell in 1969, they did it **with guns**
So much talk about Project 2025 when Project 2024 is right here and it is monstrous. This night is but one piece. Tyranny is tyranny. You cannot excuse it because your preferred political party is the one building and backing the police state this time.
CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."
truly devastating how fragile some of yalls staunchly held principles are. the first amendment warriors. the democracy preachers. the freedom cherishers. every moral fiber eaten alive, first by thousands of dead children in gaza then by thousands of protesting kids in the us
If Trump was president and Rudy Giuliani were mayor, most liberals would be screaming.
Columbia University would rather risk their students being murdered by NYPD than divest from genocide
When the state is fearful of students who challenge ruling class interests with calls for divestment from genocide profiteers, it proves the truth of these words by Michael Parenti: "The only thing they care about you is what you're thinking."
This is what the violence we're seeing on campuses is designed to defend.
Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.
am I stupid? does ‘15 minute city’ not just mean building things closer together? like this concept isn’t a walled compound or anything
When arguing with a 15 minute city advocate, ask them “What happens if I get the opportunity of a lifetime…my dream job, 30 minutes away by car?” The mental gymnastics that ensue demonstrate how you just can’t plan and control something as complex as human society.
I know we laugh these off but this is not ok. We cannot live like this. We can’t make this seem normal to our children. All of our hours afterwork just physically and mentally resting and prepping to be ready… for work. Until we die. Please unionize. End capitalism. 4hr day now.
The best part of a trial win is the 97 small tasks that built up waiting to reward you the following Monday.
Wearing a hoodie to the senate was cool because it seemed like Fetterman had bigger priorities than his image. This bespoke tuxedo hoodie is loser shit and proves the opposite: he ONLY cares about his image
Another hot take. We should discourage ownership of huge pickup trucks by charging them extra to utilize parking garages, etc. I am SO sick of some massive 4x4 truck that some dude owns just to show off making it more dangerous and difficult to navigate tight spaces.
UofT: our university operates in the land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. We honour this relation. Also UofT: UofT’s lands and buildings are private property, activities have to be authorised and encampments are considered trespassing. 🤔😒
Universities in Ontario signalling they will repress student sit-ins and encampments. University administrators: the repression in Colombia led to encampments for Gaza across the states. Back off. Students are right. Our academic institutions shouldn’t invest in apartheid.
Lot of takes floating around about what is motivating student protestors (loneliness, peer pressure, trying to be trendy?) My take: protestors are primarily motivated by concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza
