Excited to be part of such a stellar group and to take these first steps on BORA AND THE BIG WORLD — a kid’s animated version of Matteo’s story and that of his awesome family. Psyched to get to team up with John Hazlett! Thanks Access @cbc and the Disability Screen Office!

Chuffed to be part of this. Thanks to the Disability Screen Office. See you at TIFF

My latest post is about what it’s like to turn the camera on myself when I’m used to pointing it the other way. I would love it if you’d check it out! #fnd #fndrecovery #disability #trauma #recovery #film #documentary #cdnfilm open.substack.com/pub/goodee/p...

Please sign and support these families' plea to the Canadian government to evacuate their family members who are facing starvation and death. Isn't this supposed to be what we as Canadians are proud to do? www.tcndp.ca/gazan-refuge...

Canadian journalists please speak out. The moment is now. Your voice will make a difference.

I stand with E.M.

No more statements, and statements on statements. And calls for what your statements said. We need action. We need a 2 Way arms embargo. We need sanctions. We are at stage 5 starvation in Gaza PM @mark-carney.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Hey @thestar.com has a massive Walking Toronto package coming out this weekend (some stories already up online). I contributed two walks for this list of Toronto walks (Bendale in Scarborough and Dupont). Check em all out.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

"If people are shocked Mamdani could win, it’s because we’re so used to people’s votes not counting, and to powerful establishment politicians winning no matter what happens." Read politics editor @leximcmenamin.com's full op-ed here ⤵️

The @newyorker.com had a recent piece which said Mamdani had failed to create a coalition…

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

As a former New Yorker, and still one in my heart, it’s hard to watch this mayoral campaign and not tear up. It has been a ray of hope.

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

Society is collapsing. Normalized genocides, escalating wars, crumbling democracies. While many of us in the Global North are buffered, we won’t be forever. We are all gonna need to face the ‘but I don’t want to’ and do something.

Glad to see this — thanks @beynate.bsky.social

It's been tough to live next to America the last while with the active threats to Canadian sovereignty and more, but after a bad freakshow gestapo day like today you see this kind of thing and remember, yeah, the other America is still there. Godspeed to its great cities.

Ranked choice voting system! Progressive candidates cross endorsing! We could have this (or proportional representation) in Canada too!

Is anyone going to stop Israel from destroying Gaza, and by extension, itself?

Photo taken on this day in 2021, looking over at a lush Ontario Place as the sun set. Today completely denuded of plant and building. Never forget who did this and the local companies & people who made money off helping out.

That ship has sailed Pete … the rest of the world sees the US as not free or ‘first’… but the illusion of American exceptionalism persists.

I keep being shocked by the subdued ways legacy Cdn media is reporting on Trump and failing to meet the moment. This morning on CBC radio "So why is it that Trump is banning foreign students at Harvard?" asked as if this is a normal thing, not a complete break from democratic norms.

Doug Ford's Bill 5 will override Indigenous rights to force risky developments on traditional territories. The people of Treaty 9 will stand up to defend the land. Doug the grifter is about to taught a basic lesson in Canadian history.

I am a proponent of the radical view that all killing of people is bad.

Feeling heartbroken and gutted this morning after the shooting at the Jewish Capital Museum in DC. Every life is a universe. I am terrified also of how this will be used to rationalize even more death.

Hmm yeah that’s a tough one

Canadian jurisdictions were listed on a U.S. gov’t site that encouraged snitching on doctors providing trans health care. After journalist Ophélie Dénommée-Marchand pressed the department about it, those jurisdictions were quietly removed. Her story: breachmedia.ca/trump-admin-...

Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands. Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.

If the Trump administration wanted to oppose antisemitism, they could start with themselves. They are trivializing the concept of antisemitism, making it meaningless — and that is a terrible antisemitic action. www.npr.org/2025/04/29/n...

Thank you Greyhound!

I would love it if the Times asked these folks about their media diet every time beforehand. bsky.app/profile/mich...

Relieved PP didn’t come to power but alarmed by how much support the conservatives got, and the losses the NDP endured. 🧵

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

So great to see this awareness getting out there. I was def one who fell thru the cracks.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.  Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.  But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

Thank you @cycletoronto.bsky.social for all your incredible work. This cyclist is very appreciative. Onwards!

I've seen a number of posts critizing strategic voting. I get it (esp in ridings that don't need it) but I wish we were railing against the root of the problem: our antiquated first-past-the-post voting system, which doesn't work with multi-party 🧵 #cdnpoli #election2025 @fairvote.ca
