2023 🇨🇦 #AssistedSuicide report is out Check sources of suffering driving #MAiD. Wonder what #MAiDapologist response will be to rationalize why almost half of (otherwise non-dying) disabled ppl get euthanized fueled by loneliness @TrudoLemmens @mssinenomine @yuanyi_z @mylcheng

I resigned from Canada’s largest broadcasting corporation over its complicity in Israel’s genocide

I resigned from CBC after voicing my concerns over their coverage of Palestine. I have since seen how the CBC’s policy on impartiality helped manufacture consent for genocide.

Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book, “The Message,” is a trio of interconnected essays that examine how the stories people tell — or avoid telling — can shape and even distort reality: “I am most concerned always with those that don’t have a voice.” cbsn.ws/4gJxe2g

Ta-Nehisi Coates is our truest successor to James Baldwin. Watch him deal with getting race-baited by a white moderate. Reminds of the Baldwin's many appearances on white moderate TV

The fact no one seems to think repeal of MAiD is an election issue is why disabled people know they are alone. Not named in the "first they came for" poem despite being the first they came for back then. Same today. All your tweets. Politicians speeches. Pundit think pieces. 🦗
