When friends are traveling to watch football in the UK and 2, yes 2, of their bookings on @bookingcom don't actually exist? That's a problem! #scam #summervacationfail

BC is ending its long-standing arrangement with the CBSA on holding people detained due to immigration status in provincial correctional centres because it no longer aligns with our commitment to uphold human rights, social justice & equity for everyone. news.gov.bc.ca/27204

As a woman who suffers from hair loss, I totally felt for Jada Pinkett-Smith during that joke. It was awful. Chris Rock is an idiot. But toxic Will Smith assaulting Rock just ended up victimizing his wife for a second time. How awful.

Reflecting on my time yesterday Nanaimo & 12th slowing down the #FreeDumbConvoy and getting more frustrated by the complicity of VPD to keep people in trucks safe and limit my right to protest. @VanPoliceBoard you'll be getting some feedback. #VaccinesWork #Resist #TruckOff

The irony. Supporters of truck convoy in SUV upset by counter protesters, on foot, using marked pedestrian crossing to slow them down.

Small step in the right direction for justice #GeorgeFloydIsNotOnTrial #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #racismisreal
Derek Chauvin is found GUILTY. Accountability. That is what happened. Justice is living without fear. Justice is our families & communities thriving & our children coming home safe. Our mission remains rebuild the whole system. But for today at least there is SOME accountability.
