People trying very hard to be unsafe at student encampments throughout the US, but failing miserably... A thread 🧵
I think it's amazing that after three decades of failed experiments with lower taxes, forcing people into longer hours and working older and opening Canada to foreign markets, anyone could argue that what we need today is: lower taxes, longer working hours and foreign markets.

.@mehdirhasan of @zeteo_news: “Joe Biden has the power to pick up the phone and end this war. He can ring the Israeli PM and say ‘we're cutting you off.’ He didn't do it after 10,000 dead, 20,000 dead, today we cross 30,000 dead. You have to ask the question, why? This is a man…
@DangerCats69 Wow! I love red neck humor, but this t-shirt isn't FUNNY & doesn't portray the subject of missing & murdered Indigenous women in anything but a sick light. There's no ongoing Gov't attempt to erase this issue! I live near where "Piggy" Picton's farm was. No one will forget! Ever!

The IDF thinks this makes them look good to release this? Congratulations on starving people to death and driving them to complete desperation, I guess

@selinarobinson How do you explain the last three plus months of anti-Palestinian racism then? Where are your apologies for referring to all Palestinians as Hamas, or for advocating for our eradication? Check your likes, lady. We all can.

You could have heard a pin drop after this recording was played in court this morning. These are RCMP officers who arrested people on Wet'suwet'en territory on Nov. 19, 2021, describing an arrest a day earlier, unaware they were being recorded.

BREAKING: A top global human rights expert is finally allowed on @CNN to explain how Israel routinely detains thousands of Palestinians (including children) without charges or trial – and often tortures them. Israel holds hostages too.⤵️

Good fucking grief
@MattLech He’s getting to the bottom of it
I stand in solidarity with students and anti-war advocates. What is happening in the US right now is very dangerous and alarming. In Canada, I want students to know this: It is your right to peacefully protest - and I will defend that. New Democrats will continue to stand for…
UBC is on Musqueam land Sudents leading encampment for Gaza, who pay thousands $ to UBC, are not trespassers. They have legitimate demands that UBC divest from Israeli war crimes Not surprised tho that Nico & his grasstops Zionist org care more about UBC astroturf than genocide

CNN actually doing some good reporting here about a precision-guided IDF missile that killed children playing foosball. In case we still cared about the policies Biden is so vehemently defending.
“My soul is gone.” Almost 14,000 children killed in Gaza since October 7, according to health authorities. @JDiamond1 reported on the deaths of ten children 2 weeks ago. They are harrowing images, impossible to forget. Now, his latest report on that Israeli strike.
It takes a lot of ignorance to pen and approve a racist headline like this. To Muslims, Palestinians and Sikhs across Canada targeted by this - know that you are not alone. I will always stand with you against attempts to divide Canadians.
This is no clash. Police attack.
Police clash with labor unions at the May Day parade in Paris All power to the workers
My Jewish community is concerned too. We’re worried that an extremist organization with the chutzpah to speak in our name is calling for… 🚔Violent dismantling of legal encampments ⚔️Encouraging confrontation 🤷🏽Students treated as “trespassers” on their own campuses
Student protests are being called "little Gazas" to justify violence towards them
The American government has genuinely lost its mind
remember when congress censured the sitting palestinian representative for delivering an emancipatory slogan for her people currently being genocided?

Residential school denialists are, at their core, committed to racism, of devaluing and degrading others as a form of self-preservation and protecting the settler capitalist status quo (and the power, privilege, and profit they derive from it) at home and abroad.

You know it's wedge politics, and yet you still chose to go ahead with this verbal diarrhea of a take. You should have shut this down along with the rest of your party as a sign that the legislature won't be controlled by two bigoted twits.
Yesterday, the @bcndp exhibited a grotesque prioritization of politics over the basic principles that allow us to peacefully disagree in a democratic society. I’m proud of @voteBCUnited for standing up for democratic principles, even when it means taking some flak. #bcpoli
My family was denied access to a local Passover seder because the synagogue executive "couldn't be in the same room as us" because of our views on Israel doing genocide. We sent them a cease and desist and their reply? We are defaming them. lapresse.ca/actualites/202…
A few days ago someone accused their Uber driver of antisemitism because they ordered a vehicle that didn’t have enough seats for the number of passengers they wanted to bring and the driver refused the ride. Every Zionist accusation is a confession proves accurate again.
The next time my Uber Eats driver is late, I will launch a complaint that he is denying my basic humanitarian aid
its wild how similar the commentary on fox news and msnbc is in regards to students protesting israel's genocide. i guess they can find a way to unite after all!!! (more tax dollars and tuition going to israel's apartheid and genocide!!)
