Trump’s team built a snitch site targeting Canadian doctors.
Not US doctors. Ours.
It asks people to report gender-affirming care. Every province was listed.
That's not some code fluke. It's a political threat to scare Canadian health workers into silence.

Most Nazi camps were *outside Germany*, away from the eyes of German citizens.
Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant.

Genocide is genocide is genocide
Today the Netanyahu regime once again unilaterally broke the ceasefire, bombed Gaza, and killed at least 112 more Palestinian civilians with the majority being women and children.
And in response the US Senate voted 85-15 to send Netanyahu more bombs to drop on Palestinians.
This is genocide.

So many things wrong with this. Sadly, many orgs disable chat during these types of online trainings for this reason.
Transport Canada’s online presentation for employees on the legacy of residential schools was the first to provide staff with information on the history of residential schools.
It was quickly derailed as attendees made comments denying the effects of residential schools in the call’s chat.

It's heartening to see how many care about an issue that is SO much bigger than any one journalist.
It's a trend, and we have to stop it. You all give me hope we might be able to do that. ❤️

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom.
If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?
