I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The first Sundowner show I went to, Nick was enthusiastic and brilliant, and stoked to meet a new friend. Every time I saw him, he was excited to share what was coming up and know what we were working on next. He was like that with everyone. Always ready to uplift the next person.

One of a kind.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

it is dangerous to wave away the anti-trans rhetoric of Kirk and his ilk as uncontroversial. the rights of trans people in Canada hang by a thread — reminder that the current leader of the federal opposition doesn't believe in trans identities
