What if I told you one woman, with little accountability, is wearing the name of the United Nations to launder false anti-trans forum posts into global legal fights, including the US Supreme Court? Our reporter S. Baum investigates Reem Alsalem in our collaboration piece with The Nation.

How One Woman Is Using the UN to Attack Trans Rights Worldwide
It’s no coincidence that the Supreme Court’s decision allowing trans sports bans echoes the work of Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls.

Here's @karlamarx1917.bsky.social giving people in Toronto the rundown on how things are going on Alberta (spoiler: not great). Also, an absurd amount of Nickelback.

Newspapers now won’t even acknowledge trans women are women without including a transphobic perspective too. We are losing the public narrative battle

As Calgary’s rental supply grows, landlords are introducing incentives to attract new tenants. The cost savings incentives afford, however, do little to increase the options available to moderate income renters, who continue to spend more than a third of their income in rent. New from me 👇
