CBC doesn't have this on the news homepage or even the political news homepage, which is *fascinating* because I would argue that using the notwithstanding clause 3 times IN ONE NIGHT is, in fact, major political news.
If that sounds wild, it's because it is. But historically, it's only been used in exceptional circumstances. Meanwhile, Alberta just used it for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th times in the past 2 months on these 3 anti-trans bills (the 1st time was to override teacher's labor rights) 🧵3/6

Alberta just passed bills banning trans girls from youth sports, restricting gender-affirming care including hormone blockers for youth under 16 y/o, and requiring parental consent for students to change their name/pronouns at school. They used the notwithstanding clause on all three bills. 🧵1/6

The worst thing about being a good facilitator is that I just pulled off the most perfect interrupt-validate-redirect maneuver, but the recipient will never notice, which is what made it perfect.

Immigrating to Canada is wild, because they ignore you for a year, then one day they're like "you must get a medical exam, send us more money, and get your relatives' birth certificates to us within the next 30 days, or you're back to square one."

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The same week we lost a sister to anti-trans policies, were blamed by the government for 42m people losing SNAP, were told we should be abandoned by centrists yet again, & Trump declared Congress null & signaled he'll never leave office, the regime seeks to torture & kill every trans kid in America.
The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY

Is there already a word for feeling seen/ trusting that someone sees you without explicit affirmation? Not recognition in the sense of being recognized as X, but recognition in the sense of "I know that you know the vibe, so now we can hang without worrying about performing [gender, etc.]"

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

After ICE agents violently detained a man in Maryland, they kept him pinned to the ground for nine minutes.
He shouts “I live in America! I love America!”
When a witness asks why the man was arrested, the officer shouts “Because he’s a criminal.”
