A thread for any 🇺🇸s or for 🇨🇦s who’ve forgotten (or who’ve seen too much 🇺🇸 TV/social media content & forgot): our laws are different.
We have ✨The 🇨🇦 Charter of Rights and Freedoms” which is a part of our Constitution. One of the freedoms guaranteed in there is the “freedom of expression.” 🧵 1/7

NDP MP @jennykwan.bsky.social was among the 30-person delegation Israel turned away from visiting the West Bank.
But when she called me, I Iearned why her staff told me the incident was worse than what's been reported -- and that TWO Israeli officials laid hands on an MP.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

The 85% of evangelicals who support stripping rights, safetynets for the poor, and security for the foreigner are blaspheming God, what is sin but to disobey God
Whiteness is an idol because it serves them privileges. God hates when people twist his laws to oppress others

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Of course criminal slumlord Jared Kushner is behind Paramount’s hostile $108B bid to acquire Warner Bros.
Faking a Middle East peace mission and illegally accepting $2B from Saudi Arabia in exchange for US intel wasn’t enough for this crook. They should’ve jailed him long ago.
