The girl behind the photo. A reminder that Palestinians killed by Israel are not just numbers or white shrouds. They were once smiling 5 year olds who once hoped for peace. ✌🏽 💔😞

What bothers me is that while these people are openly violating bylaws, bylaw officers reportedly went to homes in Brampton and Scarborough to make sure families were not having large parties to celebrate Eid. Why the double standard?

Unhappy to report that Trinity Bellwood’s looks like a nightclub right now.

I have been dealing with so much hate recently. It's been horrible - and now this. I'm done. If you don't call it out, you are an enabler.

Imagine how much you must hate Muslims to choose this photo. One of the most painful moments in Canada’s history for Muslims, and you choose this smiling picture of the terrorist who killed the most beautiful family. Shame on the National Post for making this deliberate choice.

My 8 yo is currently sitting on the sofa with a sheet over his head, and has informed me he will not be re-joining class. Yup, online school going swell here…How are you all holding up?

I usually don’t speak out against my colleagues but it truly boggles my mind that 20 years after I entered the Cdn media industry, the obsession with how Muslim women dress continues. And 20 years later, the islamophobic tropes also continue. Sad to see how little has changed.

Lots of love for daycare workers today. I could see the all female daycare staff scrambling (but still smiling) today at drop-off amidst last min staff shortages, general anxiousness and their own kids remote learning at home. The burden of the pandemic on women is undeniable.

Look at those three young women watching. This picture is so symbolic.

For the past two years I have been writing pretty much non-stop about about the Ford government’s relationship with developers. The Star has consistently put stories about the Greenbelt and MZOs on the front page. Here’s a thread of a handful I have written out of dozens:

Poems: outrage. Words: outrage. Keffiyeh: outrage. Babies and children being bombed to death: silence.

Muslim women deserve peace. Stop attacking us, speaking for us, undressing us, harassing us, and using us for your politics. #nabra #RIP

Toronto raises flags, Vaughan lights up city hall for Israel Day. According to a quick audit of the city of Vaughan’s Instagram page, this is first time this year a country’s independence has been celebrated this way. It appears Canada Day didn’t get the honour last year either.

This is the result of the anti-Arab racism spread by people like @MacLeodLisa. Everyone including Arab students, Jewish students or any other student should feel safe to literally speak their own language. I honestly can't believe i even have to say that.
