The public never realized that supervised consumption sites have quietly operated inside Toronto shelters since 2020. However, as of last December, all of these sites — which collectively saved 750 lives — are now gone because of Doug Ford's harmful legislation. www.torontotoday.ca/local/health...

This obviously wasn’t written by Ye. It’s not in all caps.
Ye, fka Kanye West, takes out a full-page in the Wall Street Journal to apologize to the Black community, and for antisemitism:

I think the defining ideology of Centrism is just denialism.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
