Should be bigger news that the bureau chief of Toronto Sun is celebrating an unarmed woman being executed in the street

A deleted tweet by a Toronto Sun national politics reporter.

Feels like my subscription to The Verge goes up in value each week.

I was first unsettled, then increasingly furious at the New York Times' coverage of the death of Lia Smith. Here's a thread sharing some trily despicable choices made by @julietmacur.bsky.social in writing about this young woman's suicide.

Separatism is stupid when Quebec talks about it And it's stupid when Alberta talks about it

People will be shocked by the silence when he’s finally dead.

This year is already too heart breaking to bear.

ICE must be destroyed.

How we should all refer to Twitter from now on

This breaks my heart.

Things on Twitter (or x or grok or whatever) are unbelievably bad now.

Donald Trump is doing colonialism the right way. by Ezra Klein

Finally got around to updating my Canada Anti-Trans Risk Map. Here it is: J’ai finalement eu le temps de mettre à jour ma carte de risque de lois anti-trans au Canada. Le voici: (Web version TBA | version en ligne à venir)

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

As a trans Canadian, I will politely tell Michael Knowles to shut his fucking mouth until I tell him he’s allowed to speak again.

A tale of two neighbours.

this is why you must always oppose every act an imperialist country does, because then they’ll soon come for everyone

I’m not surprised that Carney offers up this mealy mouthed mush in response to overt US aggression. When Trump turns his attention to Alberta I don’t expect much support.

It’s 2026 and still America bad.

Wait, 2025 is over already? It was just starting to get good!

It’s hard to imagine whether America will finally hit bottom after Trump is gone or if there is something even worse waiting in the wings.

“There are only two genders. I am the… man gender.”

What. No. Don't use their language, @newyorker.com that is not even a real word. What the hell is wrong with "flee" or like. "Flee this godforsaken country"

Can someone just shut down the NYT and put it out of its misery?

When somebody becomes very wealthy, the social and emotional imperative should be for that person to get rid of their wealth as quickly as possible. Like it’s cursed. Which it is.

Danielle Smith are keeping children safe by uh… making it harder and more complicated for women to be in a non-competitive swim club.

Prosecute them all. Beyond the depravity of this, it's pure theft. The local prosecutor should open an investigation and charge them all.

If he’s not dead by the time I wake up, Santa Claus doesn’t exist.

Dear US Govt., Fuck all the way off with this shit. Importing residential school denialism and then trying to feed it back to us is beyond heinous.

Future historians will wonder why the sea floor is littered with these. What colossal force could sink such a mighty fleet? Surely not unspeakable incompetence and hubris.

Weird how The Free Press was able to publish all of these without comment from the Washigton University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

there’s now a petition for the canadian government to overturn the recent legislation in AB and SK designed to strip trans youth of their rights. please sign: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Who is this bland looking white guy and why do we have to talk about him? Was he in any way remarkable?

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Smith is a magnet for extremists and then acts like her club meetings are representative of Alberta.

youtu.be/Ybj10537yi4?... PMG makes a compelling case against Microsoft and Xbox. Maybe find another way to relax over the holidays (and until they stop building tech that is being used for genocide and war crimes against Palestine).

This is why you rarely see the anti trans side going after Hunter Schafer or Kim Petras. They went on puberty blockers and transitioned as teens. They're massively successful and living happy lives. They don't want to highlight that.

Nazi losers are nazi losers.

Oz is still talking about kid’s genitals because he’s weird and creepy.

Colin Wright is a deeply unpleasant human being. Even a CV of infinite length and prestige wouldn’t make working with him any more bearable.

This feel like the plot from that James Bond movie. The one where Lucy Liu runs up a wall and Pierce Brosnan is gagged.

This scene turned my stomach when I first saw it, and it still does.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is using her final moments as a politician to once again attack trans kids. To every weirdo who tried to paint her as someone suddenly fighting fascism: this is who she always will be. A fascist www.huffpost.com/entry/marjor...

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it." It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

Even if you ignore the patent absurdity and believe this could happen, it only serves as an indictment of their ability to exploit an entire nation to enrich themselves. You’ll notice he doesn’t mention the people being worked to death in the mines while their children starve.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Populists like Smith don’t just win by mobilizing their base — they win by convincing everyone else that their base is bigger and more mainstream than it actually is. 👉That’s the core of the populist playbook: make a small, loud group look universal so everyone else stays quiet.

youtu.be/tEFOUP866ls?... Bluesky, what is the greatest YouTube channel and why is it The Leftist Cooks?

man, the collective grief from older trans people at the violent death of the world we briefly hoped was coming, a world in which trans children would be recognised, loved, and helped... yeah.
