Given the devastating impact of the AIDS genocides on queer and trans communities, this also functions as a form of genocide denial.

important to note that this insane poppers lie is an AIDS denial conspiracy dating back to the early 1980s, when people were trying to find a way to blame AIDS on the actions of gay people to blame them for the pandemic.

“The recent enforcement actions have drawn scrutiny because the FDA operates under the Department of Health and Human Services, now led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has repeatedly promoted the scientifically disproven claim that poppers — rather than HIV — caused AIDS.”

btw, it’s almost comical (if it wasn’t so horrendous) that the meat industry also takes part in anti-trans campaigns. and generally I feel like esp red meat and its consumption stems from a lot of machismo/chauvinism
(and veganism being seen as “weak”, “feminine”)

Why Anti-Trans Campaigns Keep Returning to the Politics of Meat
Recent anti-trans political ads were funded in part by meat industry trade groups, including multiple ads comparing trans people to cattle.

Un suprémaciste blanc connu veut que Simon Jolin-Barrette devienne le nouveau chef de la CAQ.

Ce n'est pas une surprise. Simon a tout fait pour avoir ce genre d'appuis. #polqc

If I had a dollar every time a mediocre man known for his orangeness lied about Greenland for his colonial project, I'd have two dollars
Four frame comic. In the first frame, a Viking with a ginger beard does a classic Trump pose. Text reads : when erik thorvaldsson, better known as Erik the red for his ginger beard, came back from exile for murder, he purposefully lied to everyone about the island he ended up visiting.* Source says : as reported in the Greenlandic saga. Second frame shows a map of Greenland, covered in ice. Text reads : with the intent of misleading people into following him into his self-serving colonial project, he named the island Greenland, evoking fields, pastures and bountiful harvest, despite it being mostly covered in ice year-long. Third frame shows Trump doing the same pose as the Viking. Text reads : a thousand years later, another criminal con artist, also known for his orangeness, is again lying to everyone about this island. Fourth frame shows a Greenlandic flag in the sunset. Text reads : when Trump repeats that owning greenland/kalaallit nunaat is a matter of national security despite existing agreements that already allow the u.s. to expand their Military presence*, all I hear is another mediocre man obsessed with his legacy and lining his own pockets.

Amidst a hellscape for journalism and specifically local journalism, CBC seems to be the only major news outlet that's actually *expanding* its local journalism with 11 new bureaus this year.

Protect the CBC!!

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland.

This is mad king shit.
Alt text: Screenshot of a long social media post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump). The post claims the United States has subsidized Denmark and European countries for decades and argues that Greenland is critical to U.S. and global security. It states that China and Russia want Greenland, criticizes Denmark’s ability to defend it, and asserts that only the U.S. can protect the territory. The post announces planned tariffs starting February 1, 2026—10% on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland, rising to 25% on June 1, 2026—until a deal is reached for the complete purchase of Greenland. It ends with Trump signing as “President of the United States of America,” with engagement metrics and a timestamp of January 17, 2026.

The frustrating thing is that civil rights attorneys, journalists, activists etc spent weeks digging into viral claims that this was happening trying to figure out if they were true. So much time and energy that would be better spent on real and actual threats.

This is one of the most irresponsible things I've seen someone in the trans community do. Absolutely disgusting that Tara Knight faked claims about getting a letter from the FBI and then forged a letter with AI when journalists tried to verify.

theneedlenews.com/alleged-fbi-...
Rumors of FBI letters threatening trans public figures center on an AI-generated document
It is not impossible for the FBI to do what has been claimed. It is still irresponsible to spread panic among marginalized people through rumors without evidence.

And this is not theoretical. RPD frequently takes an "unreasonably narrow view" on this.
I've read more than a few queer related cases where someone going back because their parent was dying screwed them.
