Elon vowed to cure world hunger if the World Food Program could outline a plan to do so for 6 billion. They did, and Elon did absolutely nothing, and has become the world's first trillionaire. This man also systematically dismantled the US' foreign aid programs after this time. So not only did he not fulfil his promise, he actually deprived millions more of food, emergency healthcare and other life saving supports. With less than .5% of his net worth he could save 10s of millions, real human lives. He spends his days shitposting on Twitter and he was even stupid enough to tank his companies in valuation by literal 100s of billions just to call some guy a pedo, and people applaud him. We shouldn't live in a world where millions die of hunger while others have more money than most countries. Humans have their priorities screwed up.

Toronto ER doc here. I'm less worried about World Cup measles, norovirus and Mpox than I am about the ER patient on a regular day who waits 8-10 hours to be seen, stays 2-3 days in a hallway stretcher or who sits in agony in a chair. We have our priorities backwards.

The Ford Government has sat less than any other government in Ontario history, with the recent term sitting only 28% of working days representing a 25% drop in sitting days from the 1970s. #ontario #onpoli #dougford #frankdomenic🍁

Doug Ford and Paul Calandra won’t fund teachers in schools, but they will fund more police in schools.

I’m not sure why I apparently need to write a dissertation in every tweet to make the point that billionaires have undue, problematic influence on global politics and have exercised said influence to kill hundreds of thousands of poor people. The wealth gap is the largest it’s been in recorded Canadian history — a clear symptom of an inequity problem. Publicly funded sectors like healthcare and education are underfunded while billionaires don’t pay their fair share. You see it in hospital wait times. Classroom sizes. The ultra rich have several homes and financialize the market while people can’t pay their rent. The proof is all around us, every day. It’s been documented ad nauseam. Trickle down economics have been debunked. Forgive me for distilling that reality into the “loser” insult. Anyone hoarding billions in wealth in a society that has struggling public services is the epitome of exactly that — a loser — and in the context of everything I just laid out, I think distilling it to that diagnosis in a tweet is actually fine!

Funding cuts have decreased the numbers of all other adults in the building, but there’s always money to add police. #OntEd

Israel is blowing up entire villages in Lebanon, killing 200 to 300 civilians every 48-96 hours, calling it a ceasefire, with absolutely no consequences. Israel is killing so many Lebanese so regularly that the world has lost interest. Just like has lost interest in Gaza.

But taxing wealth so normal people can afford to see a doctor and not go bankrupt over inhalers is radical left. OK

More than 200 pro-Palestine protesters gathered in Edinburgh on Saturday to demand the Scottish Government severs any connections it has with Israeli firms. Many were holding pictures of Palestinians who have been killed during Israel's genocidal war.

$198 million could hire thousands of frontline education workers. Instead, students are dealing with larger classes, fewer supports, increased violence, and growing mental health needs. Ontario doesn’t have a funding problem. It has a priorities problem. #onpoli #osstf

The Shopify CEO is an all time loser, up there with Elon. Just a mortifying wealth glutton. You can’t “make” this much money. You can only steal the fruits of others’ labour. The fact that billionaires exist — while Canadians can’t afford groceries — is a societal failure

Ontario's funding of multiple supervised consumption sites for people who use illicit drugs ends today The Ford government's decision to abandon this proven health care intervention is going to cost people their lives. It didn't have to be this way

Israel’s genocide has been funded by many people who bought Israeli bonds underwritten by major global banks. Barclays and BNP have stopped that: good. Now waiting for @GoldmanSachs, @BankofAmerica, @Citi, @DeutscheBank and @jpmorgan to do the same. banktrack.org/news/seven_und…

For the record, Premier Ford promised 30,000 new LTC beds and 28,000 upgraded beds by 2028. 6,700 have been built and 4,297 upgraded. That's a 47,000 bed deficit with 2028 coming up.

Yes @mcuban you’re right that 60% of US adults own stock directly or indirectly but what you omit to mention is that the richest 1% of Americans own nearly 50% of the stock market while the bottom half of Americans own just 1%.

The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did. And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement

🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk. Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive. She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.” Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”
