This from Riley Gaines is why trans people freak out when Democrats try to carve out some compromise over sports. The politicians and activists attacking trans people are not interested in compromise! They're interested in our eradication from public life and are exploiting sports to that end

When you want to conduct a genocide without people seeing what you're doing, you kill all the journalists. That's exactly what Israel is doing. They just murdered 5 Al-Jazeera journalists living in a tent next to al-Shifa hospital.

The pro-housing movement is about making housing affordable. We need zoning reform and yes many homes built by the private market. But government can and should build homes itself! Iโve long been a supporter of affordable housing development and glad that Canada is showing us a national path ahead.
