The best thing I've listened to since the start of all of this. If you're feeling overwhelmed (and scared and angry and helpless) truly this will help.
"Don't Believe Him"
This is a short 13-minute listen on the first couple of weeks of Donald Trump's second term.
Plus, a primer on "muzzle velocity," AKA overwhelming the media so no one knows where to look.

The wonderful @caseyplett.bsky.social wrote this for the Star. Powerful words in these unsettling times. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Think this is a rollback of trans right? No, this is something entirely new, and much more regressive
When I came out as a trans woman in 2010 — going on estrogen, changing my pronouns — I had faith in something: For us, things will get better.

Powerful from prof Katy Fulfer - who, along with her students - was targeted in a stabbing in a Waterloo classroom in 2023. She outlines the power of anti-gender ideology and most importantly, how to overcome it and the violence it promotes.

15 (!!!) years ago, I joined Twitter. I loved the space to connect with fellow politics and policy nerds, especially in education, post-secondary and health care and all things London, Ontario (because I'd just moved to Toronto and missed my hometown).
Today, I happily deactivated my account!
