They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminismβ€”because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

β€˜Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.

This story is astonishing. They detained a grandma for 6 weeks with zero due process for the crime of being on holiday. Don’t go to the US as a tourist right now www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The great thing about Canadian winter is sure the temp goes way down below 0 and you’re freezing, but then it rises and the snow melts and it becomes incredibly DAMP both outdoors and in which also makes you freezing

This interview is actually pretty amazing. They speak seriously about their religious faith and the teachings of Christ on a late night show. To wild applause.

There's also been little reporting on the fact the CRTC recently released new Canadian Content guidelines they've spun as more "flexible," but actually mean Canadian-owned projects can hire more non-Canadians as writers and directors and still access the financial incentives that make them possible.

Hootsuite CEO says ICE contract will stand as long as agency honours terms and conditions β€˜We did nothing wrong here,’ head of Vancouver social media company said in internal call with employees

There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...
