Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️⚧️❤️
Oh are attacks on trans women hurting all women? Is it because trans women are women and attacks on women hurt women?
Every time cis ppl say this shit we hear you saying "real" women, although your desire to maintain us as non-subjects against all evidence is ironically deep proof of our womanhood
@CIJAinfo In response to the election of Avi Lewis as the leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), Rachel Chertkoff, Senior Vice President, Community Engagement, and Richard Marceau Senior Vice-President, Strategic Initiatives and General Counsel, Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, issued the following statement: “Today, the New Democratic Party elected Avi Lewis as its leader. We are left with a deep sense of sadness. “Rachel’s uncle ran for a provincial arm of the NDP in 1963. He believed, as so many Canadian Jews of his generation did, that the democratic left was a natural home for a community that had faced persecution. It is hard to imagine that he would recognize the party today. "The two of us, along with other concerned Jewish and allied activists, have spent years at the table with NDP leaders, staff, and members. We engaged in good faith and made the case that protecting Jewish Canadians from hatred is not partisan, but foundational. The hope we had that these leaders could bring themselves back from the brink is now exhausted. “This weekend’s convention was a stark reminder of how far the party has drifted from its roots as the voice of Canada’s working class and trade union movement. Canadian Jews helped build that movement. Today, many are made to feel they no longer belong in it. At a time when antisemitism has reached a crisis, the NDP has become a hostile place for the vast majority of Jewish Canadians who want to fight for progressive values. 94 per centof Jewish Canadians support the existence of the State of Israel yet have been pushed out. “Avi Lewis is himself Jewish, and we respect his family’s history in this party. But Jewish identity is not a shield against accountability. When a leader declares that Zionism is inseparable from ethnic cleansing, he is not engaging in legitimate policy critique. He is telling Jewish Canadians that a core part of their identity is illegitimate. That is exclusion.
Avi Lewis is Jewish and was standing alongside MP Leah Gazan (daughter of a Dutch Holocaust survivor) yet because they're all anti-Zionist the pro Israel lobby attacks are coming in day 1
It is! But there are strong local candidates (including the new president Niall Ricardo) who I’m hoping can rebuild that presence!
Of course!! I was part of the campaign’s translation/french email volunteers so I’ve been monitoring Québec in particular very closely
Avi Lewis: "When Israel commits a genocide in Gaza, we call them out. When the US and Israel start an illegal and reprehensible war against Iran that sets the world on fire, we say Canada should have absolutely no role in it whatsoever."
(Also random fun fact because it’s a small world up here: his sister casted Heated Rivalry)
Québec and Manitoba were, by percentage of donation contributions, the most in support of Lewis’s leadership—and that’s before mentioning his proximity to key figures in Québec’s left political sphere like Nimâ Machouf and Amir Khadir
I volunteered for his campaign for the last few months and genuinely?? Very optimistic about him
In shock at the grocery store? In tears looking at your bills?
“It’s because the wealth of this country is being hoovered up by a corporate elite who are extracting it from you every single day,” Avi Lewis says.
“It’s immoral. It’s unreasonable. It’s un-Canadian. And we cannot let it stand.”

Updating a friend on my first Disco Elysium playthrough very normally:
Seeing "trans kids given deadline to segregate themselves" and "trans women banned from yet another part of society" headlines *every single day* while everyone you know and every organization stays breathtakingly silent takes such a damn toll on your heart.
Yup!! Like great news: there are existing social structures that will facilitate connecting with your peers!

Good luck!

We changed BIG when the consequences were a lot LESS than what we’re facing from the #ClimateCrisis. Don’t let anyone tell you we CAN’T change.
I’m at work and only checked the score after first period. You can imagine my confusion when I saw the final result 😂
They’ve had a damn impressive run.
