Sadly, not isolated. The Russians deliberately - and repeatedly - targeting zoos, animal shelters animal rescuers, etc is vile. 1,510 Russians dead in the last day isn't enough.

Just learnt of this suicide that happened in southwestern Ontario. Kaden was 15. www.midlandtoday.ca/local-news/m...

National Black Cat Day

Hours after my reporting, @wfaach8.bsky.social reports Chris Hilton is the lawyer representing Texas Transgender Student Union, the anonymous LLC that sent the transgender mailers to Texans. WFAA also reports Hilton said disclosing the identity of who created them would "cause harm." No citation :(

maybe 250,000 NDP voters didn't stay home but were still trapped under the bus where David Eby threw them.

Three years ago, BC Emergency Health Services pledged to address sexual harassment and low morale in paramedicine following the release of a workforce report via FOI. Now, an exec hired to address those issues is suing BCEHS, alleging her position was terminated while she was on mat leave.

New Alberta anti-trans (and anti-LGBT/anti-minorities-at-large) bill prohibits mandatory equity, diversity and inclusion training and forces public employers, including universities, to not account for protected characteristics in hiring decisions. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Incidentally, Chris Hilton is the lawyer who represents Elon Musk in his defamation lawsuit against Media Matters. Musk is the single largest political donor to Paxton and has repeatedly attacked Talarico on the transgender issue in recent weeks.

To clarify, Texas Transgender Student Union is the bogus anonymous LLC registered in Wyoming, not the real transgender advocacy group it attempted to impersonate.

This is the same Chris Hilton who was ultimately forced out of the OAG amid sexual harassment allegations. www.texastribune.org/2025/05/28/j...

NEW: Transgender Texas Student Union has retained counsel in response to the Travis County filing related to the fake transgender mailers. It's Chris Hilton, who previously worked for Ken Paxton at the Texas Attorney General's office and left temporarily to defend Paxton in his impeachment trial.

One Chart That Explains The 2026 B.C. Election

The Bolsonarists didn't change their minds, they didn't suddenly stop believing that their man could do no wrong and that Lula was an existential threat to Brazil. They were simply outvoted by those who refused to risk a return to fascism, and decided not to sit this election out.

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Under the CPBC, I expect BC will follow AB, QC, ON by aggressively privatizing surgeries, diagnostics, long-term care CPBC platform calls for publicly funded vouchers for surgeries and long-term care. This will expand the private for-profit health care industry #bcpoli

Photo from Reddit. White nationalists just outside the BC Legislature this morning after a BC Cons supermajority. This group is Loyalist Pioneers, a white nationalist organization virtually identical to Second Sons. They've been active around Victoria for about a year & a half.

Looking like record-low voter turnout in B.C. tonight. With 97.3% of ballot boxes reporting, Elections B.C. reports a turnout of 46.63%.

It appears that @davidebybc.bsky.social - who called an election 2 years early - has led the NDP to the worst loss in a generation. He must be remembered for his hubris, ensuring the elimination of the BC Human Rights Code, DRIPA and state sanctioned bullying of queer and trans kids in schools.

Compulsory heterosexuality in schools is more ideological than acknowledging queer people exist. Erasure will always be more ideological than acknowledging and accurately making space for the stuff that exists in real life.
