As predicted, women are the next full target. This is the pattern: extreme new policies restricting women’s rights (see: Roe v Wade) and public participation, then the subsequent outrage machine that actually normalizes this, until women have no more rights at all. www.cnn.com/2026/06/10/u...

Christian Nationalism in action. It started with oppression of trans youth, then trans adults, and now they are broadening their attacks to all LGBTQIA+ people. The goal is erasure from society. The ultimate target is women, repeal of voting rights, and strict gender roles.

I didn't believe this so I looked it up and holy shit, it's true. There is a literal pathway to life imprisonment if a trans person uses the bathroom 4 times in Idaho, if this bill fully passes.

Every time I write a critique of the New York Time's coverage of transgender people, people always tell me, "submit a letter to the editor." I have, multiple times. I don't think people understand how averse the NYT is to publishing a trans person. It's almost frustrating that people ask me to.

Columbia University just emailed affiliates letting them know that federal agents from DHS abducted a student this morning from a campus residence under false pretenses and with no warrant or probable cause.
An image of an official announcement from Columbia University in the City of New York, dated February 26, 2026. The letter is signed by Claire Shipman, Acting President.
The text states that at 6:30 a.m. that morning, Department of Homeland Security agents entered a Columbia Residential building and detained a student, allegedly using misrepresentations about searching for a "missing person" to gain entry.
The announcement reiterates university policy that law enforcement must have a judicial warrant or subpoena to access non-public areas, noting that an administrative warrant is insufficient. It instructs community members to ask agents to wait and to contact Public Safety if they seek entry to such areas. The university notes it is working to gather details, reach the student's family, and provide legal support.

History often rhymes with itself.
Two screenshots, one from the Holocaust Encyclopedia, the other from Erin In the Morning.

The first: On October 5, 1938, the Reich Ministry of the Interior invalidates all German passports held by Jews. Jews must surrender their old passports, which will become valid only after the letter "J" has been stamped on them.

The second, published on February 26, 2026: “Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediately Surrender Of Drivers Licenses”. Subtitle: “The legislature did not include a grace period."

This is why you rarely see the anti trans side going after Hunter Schafer or Kim Petras. They went on puberty blockers and transitioned as teens. They're massively successful and living happy lives. They don't want to highlight that.

It is not safe, right now, to raise a trans child or teen in Alberta. Families with trans youth should avoid moving into Alberta. Those in Alberta should try seeking healthcare in BC or Sask. (because the ban targets healthcare providers, not youth). Moving between provinces may be necessary. (3/🧵)
