By white-passing, Rachel means Jewish.
She's referring to advocacy around the rape of Israeli women and the illegitimacy of the advocacy based on the racial qualities of Jewish women.
Just so everyone's clear on what this post is about.
If your “feminism” only includes advocating for yourself, white or white-passing women — especially when you used the pain of women of colour to build up clout to speak on these issues — you’re of a bit of a dick.
Don’t blame others for seeing it! Just try to be less of a dick!

What a thing to brag about. When Harper had the courage to slightly shift the age of retirement (nowhere near what was called for relative to changing longevity) to make OAS and GIS more sustainable for future generations, we reversed it! Congrats, guys.
When Pierre Poilievre and Stephen Harper wanted to raise the retirement age from 65 to 67 – our Liberal team said no. We reversed that reckless policy, and we boosted OAS and GIS payments.

Governments should require that public health data reporting clarify whether hospitalized patients were admitted because of COVID or happen to have COVID. And newsrooms should ask these questions before publishing misleading, fear-mongering headlines.

Of our 27 hospitalized patients with COVID-19, only half are admitted because of COVID. The rest are admitted for other reasons and happened to test positive for COVID.

Which Jean Charest should you believe?
The one who moved to ban face coverings when he was Premier?
Or the one who says he opposes measures like that now?
Actions speak louder than words.

What does this even mean? People can't afford food or homes. I think the first step for the signatories of this letter is to try to understand why most Canadians might not share their priorities.
Yesterday, I co-signed a letter in the
@globeandmail
calling on Canada's political leaders to improve civility in public discourse and mend divisions.
Canadian democracy can't thrive unless our leaders are civil, respectful, and prioritize social peace.

Really, really helpful demonstration of how

Comparing the

"Universal Tax Cut" to the 2015
@liberal_party
"Middle-Class Tax Cut". The CPC proposal is much better for the "middle-class" it turns out.

Wishing I could see my grandmother Elaine on her birthday today but glad she's safe and sound in her apartment and thankful for the PSWs who support her every day

Softening our China stance would be a huge mistake. This should embolden us further and
@CPC_HQ
should reach out to HK and China diaspora communities who agree with us just as so many others who have suffered or seen their families suffer under communist regimes do.
Deeply worrying.
I hope this outcome doesn't cause our parties -- tbh, it's just the Tories that show a backbone on this issue -- to soften their stand on the Chinese govt. But I worry that cyncial electoral calculation will force them to.

Would you prefer the vaccines be tossed in the name of equity? Come on people. Common sense seems to be in short supply in the waning days of the pandemic.
So under this outrageous scheme, a 16 year old in east Toronto could get at shot before a 65 or 70 year old in Ottawa? What on earth is going on here?

Systemic racism must be dismantled, brick by brick. This is huge first step in achieving that. It's also just good education policy. Kudos

Not even pretending to drive a bargain. Just a shameless disregard for the role of Canadian voters in our democracy.
Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet says his party will not vote in favour of the CPC motion of no confidence in the government.
The Liberals will surivive their first political test post NDP supply and confidence deal and there won't be an election right now

I look forward to the unhinged elite reaction to this very common sense, normal take on child access to pornography.
