🚨NEW: We now have devastating proof that anti-trans policies put kids' lives at risk. A new peer-reviewed study found anti-trans policies increased su*cide attempts among gender diverse teens by up to 72%. The policies are ones some Canadian conservative politicians support:

🚨NEW: A brand new paper just dropped, and it backs up what your gut likely told you. An analysis of more than 10,000 articles found media covers Islamic extremism with *much* more intensity than, say, the far right — despite the latter ramping up its attacks. Not good: youtu.be/9IEZRKer2qU?...

🚨NEW: Is Trudeau preparing to show more teeth in his dealings with Poilievre? If his comments on Saturday are any indication, he seems to think so. But the topics discussed at the event highlight a battle that’s bigger than any partisan spat: the fight for a shared reality.
