Read our statement on our counterprotest today where we talk about where organized hate derives its power from, how we defeat it, and our role as an organization.

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Worth reading.

When governments say they can't interfere with flag bans passed by school districts, etc - they're lying. Inaction is often deliberate, not legislative. www.cp24.com/local/peel/2...

Honestly, a really good article. It's not just Fox News and MAGA that have made it hell for trans people in recent years. It's some of the "liberal" news outlets and centrist publications that made this possible too.

One day Elenore might realize the BC conservatives never saw her as anything other than a faggot. "During her CBC Radio interview on Tuesday morning, Sturko said she was prevented from voicing her more "socially liberal beliefs" while in the Conservative caucus." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

This has got to me a bit today so here we go. No Rebecca we can't have a calm discussion for the way forward when one side's intention is to eliminate us, secondly the heat is coming from one side, it's the side accusing trans people of being paedophiles, rapists, cheats and predators. 1/26

You should also come to terms with the fact that you might not like their assessment. Also, this isn't just for cis people. I'm sometimes more worried about the pick-me "I don't want to be seen as trans, I just want to be seen as [gender]!" trans folks in my sphere than I am about the cis.

If you are in or have been in a trans person's life, you should come to terms with the fact that they've mentally evaluated how likely you are to rat on them to the cops if the government starts cracking down harder on us.

Cops gonna cop.

If I have one piece of advice I have to keep giving over and over again it is: - Get it in writing - Keep the receipts

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

An insightful read showing how some parents become radicalised into ‘gender critical’ transphobia when their child comes out as trans. Here, one of the most unhinged leaders of the ‘Mom’s for Liberty’ movement is interviewed, along with their amazingly well-adjusted non-binary child…

Oh, and for the record: the Economist article was put together and published without any input from the study's authors, who clearly pegged it as a hack job.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

US Ambassador threatens to tariff, annex, and bomb Canada if anti-American sentiment doesn't improve

This is hilarious. These people have never run a real business. It is 100% a scam operated by skiled, dedicated grifters. www.wsj.com/articles/sto...

Calling for the extermination of 2SLGBTQIA people? Canada welcomes you. Speaking against genocide? Travel ban.

Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

The Alberta premier's office used Heritage's call for the mass arrests of trans people as terrorists to leak a memo about its intent to invoke the notwithstanding clause to strip the civil rights of trans people and end legal challenges of 3 anti trans laws. Make no mistake, this was coordinated.

When you read Project 2025 and recall every single Republican denying they even knew about it OR were interested in following any of it, you begin to understand that this was the plan all along, and it was decades in the making. Conservatives have absolutely no interest in living alongside us.

VicPD called its drone program a “new tool to help keep the community safe.” Reporting pegged the cost at $30,000. In reality, VicPD had been using drones for five years; drones will not keep anyone safe; and actual costs were likely closer to $125,000. www.needsmorespikes.com/blog/vicpd-d... #yyj

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

"Would you have learned that reputation is something that can take years to build, but can be lost in an instant?" Police chat hearing "that included stereotypes about Asian drivers, slurs about gay people and inappropriate remarks about Crown prosecutors" continues. www.nsnews.com/national-new...

3/ Bill C-2 opens the door to U.S. access to Canadians’ data. In a post-Roe America, where abortion & LGBTQ2IA+ rights are under attack, this is profoundly dangerous. Canadians must not have their personal medical records exposed to foreign governments. #cdnpoli 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

1/ Bill C-2, the so-called “Strong Borders Act,” isn’t about safety. It’s about normalizing surveillance, criminalizing migration, and attacking Canadians’ privacy and Charter rights. We cannot allow this government power grab to pass. #cdnpoli 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

2/ The Liberals’ Bill C-2 makes Harper’s Bill C-51 look tame. It hands sweeping new powers to police & CSIS—without warrants or oversight. Doctors, banks, landlords, even psychiatrists could be forced to share personal data. This is surveillance creep. #cdnpoli 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

URGENT: Bill C-2, the rights-violating, anti-privacy, anti-migrants omnibus "border" bill, is being debated in Parliament right NOW! Please send an email (again if you have already) to stop it before the vote to send it to committee: iclmg.ca/stop-bill-c-2/ thank you! #Canada #cdnpoli #stopbillC2

The government won't tell you that they are fascists, but they will tell you that anti-fascists are their enemies.

Report: At this point we are just trying to figure who Canadian Parliament WON'T give a standing ovation to

Jesus Christ. A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons. You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

It really is exhausting having to always fight uphill against this endless onslaught of bullshit. Like Bari Weiss didn't cut her teeth getting professors fired. Like conservatives weren't long know for letter writing campaigns to quote literally get shows canceled. It's always been them.

LINK ROT: 38% webpages that existed in 2013 were no longer available 10 years later. Even among pages that existed in 2021, 22% no longer accessible just two years later. This is often because individual page was deleted or removed on otherwise functional website. Many implications for knowledge 🧪

Every day I talk with my patients - as I work explicitly with the unhoused - and what gets tossed is appalling. Diabetes medications, psych meds, mobility aids It’s obvious that the goal is to remove what someone sees as unsightly as opposed to protecting someone’s humanity and helping them survive.
