Tumbler Ridge is mourning a horrific loss. But how the shooter's identity is being talked about online, and the dangerous links being made to trans people at large, will have resounding and dangerous impacts in the months and weeks to come.

hey - quick note - individual humans are capable of truly awful things.
if you've never thought to describe a criminal as 'cisgendered' before, maybe there's absolutely no constructive reason to feed the right-wing death machine with regards to the gender identity of the Tumbler Ridge suspect.

for those in HRM who are on Tuesday pickup and have been sitting on recycling for a month - even though the HFX recycles app has not notified/updated, and the municipality's socials say nothing - a voicemail on the 311 line says they'll come by today for it.
third time's the charm, right?

aaand, the north end recycling still hasn't been picked up, after missing last time because of snow. i can just imagine being told, again, "just put it out next time" and next time is just a sea of orange rejection stickers 🫠

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota."
Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota."

Canada did a consultation on a new national AI strategy, formed an expert task force to write 32 reports, then used AI to analyze the responses & reports. The result is a summary that strings together 100s of vague action items & flattens nuance and policy trade-offs into false consensus

Protect women, amirite?
Nono, I didn’t say that my life’s mission is to protect girls from pedophiles, it’s to make /theoretical/ women ‘safer’ by actively attacking, disenfranchising, and vilifying trans women and girls. Don’t get it twisted.

🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
