Dear people who identify as having #disabilities fam,

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
Have you compromised your needs and made agreements against the interests of #accessibility #inclusion, in order to maintain the status quo?

Are you amplifying voices presented to you by the establishment?

#TOpoli #ElectionTO #TORONTO #OurCityHallToo #OurTorontoToo #OurCityHall
Have you turned away from your public chants of “#accessibilityNOW, #inclusion, #equity, #universalDesign, etc...” during this Election period & are instead prepared to publicly/quietly push what the establishment has been pushing just to get the results you’re against?

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

Why compromise your needs so the status quo can be maintained?

#TOpoli
It’s 2018. It’s Toronto.

and still TORONTO wasn’t planned to include you

All these years of ‘incremental change’ only to get incremental change. I’m NOT satisfied. Are you?

#TOpoli #ElectionTO #TORONTO #OurCityHallToo #OurCityHall #OurTorontoToo
Why should status quo remain sustained?

Why should barriers be maintained?

Why are you working against your own interests hoping for a different result- every.time.?

#TOpoli #ElectionTO #TORONTO #OurCityHallToo #inclusion #OurCityHall #TOvote #AODA #accessibility #disabilities
Stop it!

Stop jeopardizing our ability to live & thrive by undermining our future.

Stop compromising on what should be provided.

Stop accepting ‘incremental change’ as being reasonable.

‘Incremental change’ is never reasonable for the fundamental change needed 2day

#TOpoli
Together we succeed!

Together we defeat!

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

Together. Together. Together.

P.S. I love you!

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.
#electionTO
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.

Overview
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, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

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.

THREAD: Why is the political right under the impression that politics is not about identity? All ideologies are, inherently, about identity to some degree. Right & left-wing activists are fighting for their identities; both sides virtue signal. quillette.com/2018/10/01/the…
As revealed above, even academia - the frontline of ideological discourse, examination and critique - so often, if not mostly, deals with human identity. We are tribal beings (ingroups and outgroups) which naturally predisposes us to cherish, develop and protect our identities.
Those buzzwords that relate to power and privilege systems irk the right so much because, on some level, they know that those centuries old hegemonic systems are born from and maintained in identity politics. They exist because of exclusory and protectivist ideologies.

1) In my continuing review of the main books about the 2016 election, he latest is "Shattered" by Jonathan Allen (Politico) & Amie Parnes (The Hill). Clearly they believed they were writing the story of a Cankles victory all along. Even after the fact editing didn't fully correct
2) On 2, they discuss Cankles' kickoff on Roosevelt Island where she used the term "rendezous with destiny," a line FDR used, but which everyone associates with Reagan.

She would, they say, "assign a lot of the blame for her loss to warring inside her campaign."

Never her.
3) Her kickoff speech struck the writers as "remarkably small given that the event was held in a city of more than eight million people in a state she had represented in the Senate."

Er, people just don't like her. She smells like cabbage.
