there's no way to formulate a snippy "epistemic <word>" phrase for the deeply uncomfortable truth that a lot of academic literature on trans women is produced one-handed by chasers

They're not being charged criminally, yet another example of how police records are routinely accessed inappropriately with little to no actual consequences.

I did not realize that Trump Jr's Russian friend is literally the guy who started the hate campaign against women's Olympic boxer Imane Khalif.

Holy shit.

That’s him, Umar Kremlev, all the way in the back row.

He's the head of the International Boxing Association, a scandal-plagued sports group that has been financed by the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging. Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban.

It is one of the biggest cross-movement solidarity moments in Canada.

I'm tracking anti-trans ad spending live via Meta and Google's political ad libraries. There's an absolute tsunami of it that started in September.
A screenshot of a data dashboard table in the file image_6bc8ec.png tracking political and issue-based advertising metrics. The table is currently sorted by a "LAST SEEN" column in descending order and includes additional columns for "ADVERTISER", "TYPE" (such as org, candidate, or party), "FLAGGED ADS", "DISCLOSED SPEND", "FIRST SEEN", "MAIN THEME", and "REVIEW". The rows display data for various groups and figures, such as Do No Harm Medicine, America PAC, and Alliance Defending Freedom, categorized by themes including "Medical weaponized," "Identity framing," and "Dehumanizing wedge."

"Chan, who filmed at least 652 women and girls in Greater Victoria in what officials claim is the largest case of voyeurism ever reported in Canada, was later sentenced to 4.5 years in jail after being convicted of voyeurism and child pornography charges."
Police found thousands of images and more than 100 hours of videos of women and children in Chan's home prior to the voyeur's arrest in April 2024. Chan was released on bail that month, with a condition not to use a cellphone outside of the home. Despite that condition, Saanich police observed Chan using multiple cellphones in public on at least three occasions over a month before Chan was re-arrested on Jan. 30, 2025.

Data the province and VicPD don’t publish includes how often they use force on people in jail. Or how often VicPD uses force against people in handcuffs. Between 2022 and 2024, two VicPD officers said they pointed a gun at someone in handcuffs, and six reported pepper spraying someone in handcuffs.

VicPD asked the province not to release any of its use of force data, and they agreed. After multiple appeals, we can now see things like how often VicPD injured people, including people they’ve already jailed, or used force during “wellness checks.” needsmorespikes.com/blog/use-of-... #yyj #cdnfoi

I pulled out my phone and googled for a nearby gay bar, and picked the first one on the list. Powerhouse was its name, which should have tipped me off. The bar had no windows overlooking the street. Just a small gate on the corner, with graffiti gracing its walls. A cute LOADS of LOVE was prominent on its main wall: each letter representing the colours of a different queer flag. This seems nice, I thought to myself. Why not.

The Tara Armstrong recall has been delayed once again.
Recall Tara Armstrong: Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream Recall Tara Armstrong · p͏S͏r͏s͏t͏e͏o͏o͏d͏n͏8͏3͏c͏l͏4͏0͏i͏h͏t͏0͏6͏1͏t͏1͏t͏3͏c͏3͏h͏h͏1͏m͏a͏1͏0͏m͏6͏2͏1͏t͏2͏m͏1͏l͏h͏3͏h͏7͏2͏l͏1͏7͏6͏l͏1͏1͏g͏8͏a͏5͏ · To Our Supporters, Thank you. Every person who has signed up, shared a post, donated, or told a neighbour what Tara Armstrong has and hasn’t done in this seat has made this campaign what it is. We want to be straight with you about where things stand: we are not filing a recall petition right now. We are not giving up, and we have not decided against filing one, we are choosing the timing based on our chances of success. You volunteered your time and money because you trusted us to use both well. British Columbia’s recall law gives a campaign one shot. If a petition falls short, it can’t be tried again. Tara Armstrong won this seat with just over 30 percent of registered voters but removing her requires signatures from over 40 percent of the registered voters. To put that number in context, only about 58 percent of registered voters in this riding cast a ballot at all, even in a general election so to clear 40 percent would require getting a signature from roughly 7 out of every 10 people who care enough to actually vote. No MLA has ever been successfully recalled under BC’s current law. Not one. That’s not a knock on the people who’ve tried. It’s the clearest sign yet that the bar itself is part of the problem. Based on the support we’ve already built, if we triggered a petition today, we believe it would break records for the number of signatures ever collected for a recall in this province. That’s not a small thing, and we don’t take it lightly. But we had to ask ourselves a harder question. Do we want to break a record, or do we want to succeed at removing Tara from office? Those aren’t the same goal, and breaking a record while still falling short of 40 percent would cost this riding real time, money, and trust for a result that changes nothing in the long term…
