Dear ‘intersectional feminists’ in TORONTO,

I’m writing to you as your Mayoral Candidate because the media & supporters of status quo are doing their very best to exclude Black Candidates voices- as usual.

Have you been co-signing maintaining the status quo?
#TOpoli #ElectionTO
Have you shaken hands and made agreements against the interests of ‘intersectionality’, specifically Black Candidates in order to maintain the status quo?

Are you amplifying voices presented to you by the establishment?

#TOpoli #ElectionTO #TORONTO #OurCityHallToo #OurcityHall
Have you turned away from your public chants of “intersectionality, end racism, stop Nazis, etc...” during this Election period and are instead prepared to publicly/quietly push what the establishment has been pushing just to get the results that you say you’re against?

#TOpoli
Are you giving your energy to folks who want your labour in exchange for some future promise at the expense of Black Candidates who know exactly what needs to get done at City Hall?

Why have you compromised yourself so that the status quo can be maintained?

#TOpoli #ElectionTO
Why should status quo remain sustained?

Why should the establishment control and motivate your thinking?

Have you questioned why the establishment is amplifying the voice of 2 status quo Candidates?

#TOpoli #ElectionTO #TORONTO #OurCityHallToo #OurCityHall #TOvote
Stop it!

Stop jeopardizing our ability to live and thrive by undermining and scheming. All you will be remembered for is that you can be bought. Perhaps my comments may be futile to you; but if I can spark in you the concept of humanity we need, I write to you here.

#TOpoli
If your intersectional feminism is real then get real.

Question why you automatically throw your support behind a status quo Candidate that the establishment puts right in front of you, amplifying her voice with another & you’re so quick to just accept without evidence of grit?
No evidence of

👉🏿 being in the struggle
👉🏿 tenacity
👉🏿 cultural competency
👉🏿 #CommunityWellness competency
👉🏿 compassion competency
👉🏿 of evidence to persevere

in fact, evidence to the contrary... and you still want to go along with everything?

#TOpoli #ElectionTO
If you really believe in intersectionality now is the time to act like you do.

Decision making at Toronto City Hall must be bold & effective to ensure that we all have the ability to live & thrive!

It won’t happen if we only elect our sister @TiffanyFordTO

#TOpoli #ElectionTO
Wow Twitter logarithm tech whatever is really freaking out about this thread righ now... trying to jam up my thread and find the handles of folks I want to amplify...
Keep supporting and amplifying the candidacy of @TiffanyFordTO

If you really believe in intersectionality, we also need you to help amplify other progressive Candidates too:

@Naiima_Farah
@waleedkhogali
@cheryl_ward45
@FeliciaScarbTO
@samiya_ph
@butterflyrosez
& more

#TOpoli
If you’re an intersectional feminist then act like it!

Together we succeed!

Together we defeat!

Together we ensure that we all have the ability to live & thrive!

Together. Together. Together.

Yes, @VidyaKauri Saron blocked me after I asked her about what @680NEWS broadcasted.

I tried to reach her by phone.

Note that I’ve also called out Saron and Jennifer Keesmaat for appropriating my ideas and touting them as their own. No #accountability there either.

When you suggest that Desmond is being anti-woman I ask you what aspect of deceptive practices do you identify with being a woman?

#accountability #integrity #transparency is lacking in Government, why is this acceptable for anyone?
Why would this be acceptable for Candidates?
Know that many things are done privately to address issues before something becomes public. We get all the facts, all the #receipts before issues need to be addressed.

We take #accountability & #transparency seriously.

@mcourcel @GautamNath @Michael_TO2018 @MayorTorontoTom @jpformayor @jimruelformayor Thanks for asking @mcourcel!

Accessibility is a right- not an option!

My entire #CommunityWellness #inclusion Mayoral platform centres #accessibility as a priority.

accessible housing

@mcourcel @GautamNath @Michael_TO2018 @MayorTorontoTom @jpformayor @jimruelformayor My #CommunityWellness #inclusion Mayoral platform continued @mcourcel, accessibility is an election issue!

#ElectoralReform

I am an advocate for accessibility & disability rights.
Our City has been inaccessible for too long.
#Accessibility enforcement.
@mcourcel @GautamNath @Michael_TO2018 @MayorTorontoTom @jpformayor @jimruelformayor I chose YouTube & Twitter to share my Community wellness inclusion Mayoral platform because it guaranteed me audio for Community members who are Blind or have low vision and closed captioning for Community members who are Deaf or hard of hearing.

Together we succeed @mcourcel!

Thread:
- BJP at the cross-roads of history
- Lessons from history and the recent past, for the next 112 days
- Fighting the information war, being waged gainst Indics by the global neo-colonial Mafia
- What BJP volunteers must ask @narendramodi & @amitshah
Only about 16 weeks, or 112 days, left for the General Election.

Modi says: "Govt will come and govts will go, Elections will be won and lost. We need to take it with Equinamity". Is this the right way to see things?
It can be said that Indians did not fully realize the nature of the threat at Tarain in 1192 and at Talikota in 1565.

Though Bin Qasim's invasion of Sindh, led by Bin Qasim in 712, was beaten back, at great cost, by Rajputs, we failed to learn the lessons

(PS: the bully story doesn't come up until after the 1st PART, towards the end of this Long THREAD)

Been threatened bc I refused to SETTLE for their DIRTY T&C's. Got text-convo s.shots from our post interview talks, after we FELL-OUT
Let me not get ahead of my self, but this is
a long thread tbh, its a lot of time.

[1st PART]

12 weeks since the disappearance thing happened at work, I've actually been in a better place & frame of MIND for a while, but I didn't deem it necessary to update anyone, or correct some wrong impressions by folks on the

So, the 'deal' is exactly what we expected: remain by 'stealth'. Britain will remain subject to EU austerity, ECJ, privitisation of public assets via 'competitive' regulations, the NHS, mass unemployment, etc. Which is precisely what May & Co voted for.
Its exactly what Corbyn himself voted for, remain. And the "whole country" doesn't have the same interests, the workers interests are diametrically opposed to the exploiters, both EU & the British variety. But Corbyn will never admit that.

All going as expected, May's Govt on its last legs, press in fits of 'chaotic' fury, cue the arrival of Corbyn the Messiah to save the day, ie: the status quo, 2nd ref, full remain.

1. Spent all yesterday at the Radisson Hotel Toronto east near Victoria Park and Consumers, which is helping house 577 #refugee claimants. The place has been the site of harassment as of late, including an act of arson. #Toronto

news.vice.com/en_ca/article/…
2. Most attention as been focused on the arson attempt last Tues, which occurred right after fringe mayoral candidate Faith Goldy held a press conference outside of the hotel. The police have since released a photo/description of the suspect.
3. The individual in question is a woman, about 5'6"-5'8". She entered the hotel at about 1030pm last Tues. She allegedly had a gas canister. A rag was then stuck in the nozzle, lit. This set off the alarm and an alert worker tracked down the can and kicked it into the stairwell.

As a woman I am sick of women not owning their part & responsibility. If you get insanely drunk & black out at parties, you bear some responsibility for what happens to you. If you are drunk or high & behave overtly sexual, to men you just met you put yourself in danger.
Let's face it young women in college act incredibly stupid and put themselves in a lot of danger. Does that mean that they asked to be assaulted no? But would they have been assaulted had they not put themselves in situations that made it much more likely that they would be, YES!
Don't go to a club, introduce yourself to a guy, shake hands, start dancing, rub your booty in his crotch, & then accuse the guy of toxic masculinity. Don't send out mixed messages! It is your responsibility to take care of yourself.

.@BarackObama at University of Illinois kicks off midterm campaign for Democrats and America’s future: Democracy should have no permanent ruling class. Citizens determine our course & our character. This moment is different. Consequences of sitting on the sidelines are dire. VOTE
Obama: Trump’s the symptom not the cause. Each time we pull ourselves closer to our ideals, of inalienable rights & responsibilities, the status quo pushes back. Sometimes the backlash is genuine. More often it’s manufactured by those who use fear to keep their power & privilege.
Obama schools students on the roots of today’s divisions & inequality: The politics of fear—pitting one group against another—is an old playbook. In a healthy democracy, it doesn’t work. When there’s a vacuum—we don’t vote, take our basic rights for granted, demagogues take hold.
