These companies already pulled ICE tracking apps in the US. I don't have high hopes if the Trump admin demands it, they won't also pull LGBTQ apps from their app stores.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

*Edit: it’s now expected for November 17. Remains on the order paper.
Alberta is expected to introduce anti-trans legislation (Bill 9, "Protecting Alberta's Children Statutes Amendment Act") with the notwithstanding clause today — overriding trans youth’s right to life and to equality.
This will be by far the deadliest anti-trans bill likely to become law in Canada.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
