👋🏽 My critique of our foreign policy, Israeli’s policy towards Palestinians or that of any foreign nation will not change. As a person who suffered the horrors of war and persecution, my advocacy will always be for those that suffer because of the actions of governments.

I don't think people fully understand the funding disparity b/w police and social services. In 2018, the police budget was just shy of $1 billion. That year, I also ran a drop-in 10 hours a week, where I cooked 300 meals. I was paid $250/week, and had a budget of $10,000/year.

As the only African born, not being on the Africa subcommittee is not just an elimination of a unique voice but an elimination of all the voices that have never been heard on a committee on the continent. It’s racist, xenophobic and discriminatory.

toronto has felt like two cities for a long time. a more neglected side was always privy to the full picture. the other is now witnessing what was already there. it is the latter who are sensationalizing conversations about crime right now.

Police killed at least 881 people through September 30, 2022. Police killed more people over the past 9 months than at any other point in the past decade. There have only been 10 days this year where police did not kill someone. mappingpoliceviolence.us

In prison nothing is free. Not even toothpaste. The cost of hygiene products increased again today. Toothpaste used to be $3.85 and now it's $6.10. That's over 14 hours working a prison job to afford one tube of toothpaste.

When writing about flooding in Pakistan can I please ask that you think carefully about the discourse you are reinforcing and the agendas you may inadvertently end up supporting in your choice and use of language. Here are my two cents on what we should avoid. 🧵
