#BREAKING It’s a Black Friday of rights slashing by Queen’s Park today, risking a rash of racial profiling and overbroad police powers, presuming everyone outside guilty until proven otherwise. The mobility rights restrictions fail to achieve constitutional proportionality.

Asked why Ontario won't shut/restrict warehouses and factories — where 40% of outbreaks occur — Premier Ford said "the supply chain is so deep," he ranted about how the forestry sector is needed for light switches. Then pivoted to "we need to reduce the mobility" and vaccines.

"We are not saying don't go for a walk around," Ford says, minutes after announcing that people will be stopped by police, interrogated, and ticketed for walking around.

I'll never understand how we got to a place in this pandemic where we are pushing more policing before paid sick leave. #COVID19ON

It sounds to me like the debate about free speech is mixing 2 things completely different: The letter & spirit of the law. I don't think that's the right debate. So let's look at Trump, Social Networks, the future of speech, and much more. 🧵

Paris ENS is France’s top school and agregation there is highly competitive. This year, due to COVID they cancelled the orals, only had the (anonymous) written exam. As a result ~80% of successful candidates were women. 8-0. Eighty. Women usually represent ~40% of ENS agrégés

1/ I spent a bit of time looking at the Canada COVID Alert app this evening. Bottom line: this app is pretty much the model for how to do this kind of tech.

I can't stop thinking about the dear friend in Beirut who said he hasn't even been able to hug anyone because people are still trying to maintain physical distancing.

I’m beginning to think “hindsight is 2020” was some kind of message from a future time traveler that we all misunderstood.

For me, this was the most significant finding of our study. Michael Brown's death and the #BlackLivesMatter narrative gave media a frame for deaths of unarmed black people at the hands of the police. Reframed as part of a larger phenomenon, these deaths started getting attention.
