Translated from politispeak, the RCMP is going to storm more cabins containing journalists and pepper-spray more land defenders.

I refuse to take Trump’s trolling seriously. He says some petty shit and y’all are ready to pit together a policy response
Trump runs his mouth like Usain Bolt
Trudeau now on Trump’s 51 state threats.

More direct language than we saw from him before he announced his intention to resign.

Who will Poilievre blame after Trudeau leaves?

The “joke” isn’t funny, and the person you quoted wasn’t joking and neither are the people doubling down on the bullshit that somehow cishet met are to blame for the bigotry of terfs towards trans people.
January 7, 2025 at 6:25 PM
Don’t take the excuses of swerfs and terfs at face value.
What do sex workers and trans people have to do with the interpersonal relationship dynamics of cishet couples? Be specific.
January 7, 2025 at 6:16 PM
So a cis man doesn’t wash the dishes and how his gf is a terf because men are bad or whatever. How is that not playing into terf bullshit like “trans women are men”
Sorry it doesn’t follow that cis man not doing dishes makes his wife/gf into a terf.
January 7, 2025 at 5:45 PM
How is this not just rebranded gender essentialism?
Why are you losers so eager to infantilize grown ass women like this to blame their bigotry on men?
You people are fucking weird.

What have sex workers and free speech advocates been saying about age check laws and policies re: adult material and how they will lead to anti-queer discrimination? 🤔

Biiiig scoop on privatization of public nursing staff through pointless middlemen, staffing agencies. 1/
SCOOP: Covenant Care is paying almost $110 an hour for registered nurses through private staffing agencies, more than double the wages of its most experienced unionized nurses.

But Covenant says it doesn't know how much the agency nurses actually make.

it always bothers me when liberals in reaction to threats of deporting immigrants, will say “who’s going to do the farming” like this is really the best you got? relegating and stereotyping immigrants to grunt labor? crazy

I actually don't think we need to make excuses for cis women's transphobia. I think if you're giving an empathetic reason in which they are simply disillusioned by leftist misogyny & "don't understand" you're going to be overlooking the basic violence of sociopolitical power that undergirds TERFism
