If the real priority was actually protecting girls from actual men who pose a risk to them in sports, it would make much more sense to advocate for banning male coaches and male doctors. And I’ve never, ever ever heard that suggestion, because that’s not really what this is about.

Abolish ICE.

Whenever I feel guilty for not subscribing to the WR Record, it does something like quote a WRDSB trustee candidate who's a *residential school denier* as though he's a normal person.

Why is this still legal?

Sharing this again because some of the WRDSB trustee candidates are scarier than anything else I've seen this Halloween season:

Abolish ICE.

Toronto bike lane removal. When your infrastructure project has huge police protection and the contractors hide the logos on their trucks and gear, you are in the wrong.

Labour has so far done nothing to undo this embarrassment. Sally Rooney "says she can no longer receive royalties from British sales and she cancelled UK trip due to fear of arrest" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I need someone to give me room to write about this moment in anti Muslim hate because there’s a reason Nidal Hassan is who is being killed by live firing squad. And it’s the same reason Ilhans house was raided.

Abolish ICE.

Abolish ICE.

"Citified" is an amazing public service, and I'm proud to be part of it. Also, if you live in Waterloo Region, I wrote about this year's WRDSB trustee candidates to help you vote for the ones who *aren't* Christian Nationalists:

the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

reading this, recalling how quickly the killing of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman slipped out of the news

Love to see the Zionist NYT letting gross antisemitism go unchallenged. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"It’s been a few days since this vicious piece appeared, yet no-one in the mainstream media or political class has denounced or even commented upon the piece—except for one Liberal politician, Salma Zahid, who had her car in her driveway set on fire."—Judy Rebick

Do you HEAR YOURSELVES?!

Thread. Still disgusted by how @thebigstory.bsky.social laundered this crap.

There's a decent argument that this column violates the criminal code prohibition against inciting violence. The thing he's accusing Lewis of is also how Yitzhak Rabin's killer tried to 'justify' his actions - removing other Jews to 'protect' the Jewish people. This is sick, and a shanda.

The National Post is using language that seems wildly irresponsible and dangerous here Citing ancient “Jewish law,” it labels Avi Lewis as a “rodef” The ultranationalist extremist who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin rationalized his killing on the same basis: www.theguardian.com/world/2020/o...

"There is currently no public evidence linking Ward to the pro-Palestine movement or any views about Israel or Zionism." Blaming the Belleville attack on antizionists is NONSENSICAL.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Canada: Anti-Zionism is not Antisemitism. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Announcing our Waterloo Region election questionnaire for 2026! We have had 84 candidates respond so far to our questionnaire on key issues around walking, biking, and transit:

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

Thread.

Every time @cornelluniversity.bsky.social makes the news, I'm more embarrassed to be an alum.

Oh FFS

This is what happens when society ignores the far right while criminalizing people who are actually on the side of peace and safety.

watching question period sparring between two conservatives (Poilievre and Carney) arguing about who can do more for business is uhhhh depressing

"But it seems just as natural that scores of American Jews have their eyes open, are disgusted with what they’ve seen, and don’t think the country should be cloaked in a 'cannot be accused of genocide' protective blanket just because they feel connected to it."

Abolish ICE.

Abolish ICE.

In Canada, too.

Philanthropists critical of Nakba exhibit donated $4.8M to groups later sanctioned for funding illegal settlements, Israeli military Report by Brett McKay nbmediacoop.org/2026/09/10/p...

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

Why is our head of government making a PragerU video

This is ADL's solitary statement after Nazis won state elections in Germany for the first time since the Holocaust:

This excellent overview doesn't mention one thing, which is that it's highly likely (but has not been proven in acourt of law) that then-Ontario Premier Mike Harris was personally responsible for ordering the attack and took no heed of the risk of injuries and deaths. He was never held accountable.

what is it about academics becoming university presidents that makes them lose 30 IQ points

NEW: Four Jewish community groups — @ifnotnowtoronto.bsky.social, @jews4tikkunolam.bsky.social , @jewssayno.bsky.social and @indjewishvoices.bsky.social — say they are "relieved" that Olivia Chow is not participating in the Jesse Brown-hosted "debate" on antisemitism.

No starker example of the media having different rules for each political party. If the press treated Elon Musk like Hasan Piker, every Republican in America would be forced to answer questions about why their party's biggest donor espouses anti-semitic race science.

I keep seeing these losers' flyers and stickers in UpTown Waterloo. They want to deport every Canadian who isn't of English or French descent: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
