Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.

Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

I know interoperability has been a guiding principle in the Canadian Forces for a long time and we have exchange and liaison officers within the US military.

But when your security partner starts making maps that look like this, I think it's time for reevaluation

Major barriers in Northwest Territories for people needing gender-affirming healthcare | APTN News YouTube video by APTN News

A recent report was released that says there are major barriers for those in the Northwest Territories needing access to gender-affirming healthcare.

Community advocates and those who wrote the report are hoping it creates change.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Alberta to invoke notwithstanding clause to shield 3 transgender bills from court challenges | CBC News The Alberta government has tabled legislation that seeks to invoke the notwithstanding clause to shield a suite of bills that affects transgender youth and adults from legal challenges.

La transphobie est bien vivante au Canada. La clause dérogatoire n’est pas là pour éroder les droits de la personne. #transrightsarehumanrights

Québec n’utilisera plus de néologismes comme « iel » Un décret visant à baliser l'écriture inclusive a été adopté sous la recommandation du ministre de la Langue française du Québec, Jean-François Roberge.

Qui est le gouvernement pour dicter ce qui est acceptable ou inacceptable ? IEL est là pour rester ! Les termes binaires ne suffisent pas et ne couvrent pas toustes les citoyen·nes. Le Québec risque de devenir un État trumpien. Ceci est un avertissement.

@iciradiocanada.bsky.social c'est honteux que CBC puisse reporter cette nouvelle alors qu'il n'y en a aucune trace sur le site web de la Radio-Canada. Et, franchement, c'est aussi honteux que les membres de ce comité ne soient pas issu·e·s de la communauté 2SLGBTQIA+. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Feather Talia speaks at a the podium in the legislature. A trans pride flag covers the left side of the image and over it the text reads "If you see us today, then fight for us tomorrow. -- Feather Talia"

A photo on the left of the screen features Leah in a jacket in an autumn setting. The text to the left reads "I honour and thank all Two-Spirit, Trans, and gender-diverse people. We deserve a world where visibility is safe and validating for everyone. You are so loved. Trans rights are human rights. -- Leah Gazan"

Today is the first provincially recognized Two-Spirit and Trans Day of Visibility in Manitoba. It was so humbling to hear from local icon Feather Talia about how allies can step up to protect the lives of our gender-diverse family.

⠀⠀ Image description via Carlisle: an illustration of ASL for transgender in trans pride flag color. The sign starts with hands almost like high five but slightly bent with thumb a bit inside, as if you’re holding an egg. The hand is placed on chest with side of thumb and index finger touching your chest. Then the hand is moved away from chest with fingers in more closed, the hand is rotated that your palm is facing inward toward your chest. Then last sign is all fingers touching each other at fingertips, with side of your pinkie finger touching the chest. ⠀⠀ #deaftransgender #deaftrans #transgenderdeaf #deafandtrans #transgender #trans #transdayofvisibility #tdov #deafqueer #deaflgbt #deaflgbtq #lgbt #deafqueerart #deaftransart #queerasl #queersigns #americansignlanguage #transisbeautiful⠀

The ASL sign for ‘transgender’ is similar to the ASL sign for ‘beautiful’ but is signed on the middle of the chest.

Je suis très honoré·e d'avoir été invité·e à participer à ce panel important, où les Sourd·e·s peuvent discuter du rôle grandissant de l’IA dans nos vies. Mais l’IA est-elle développée en tenant compte des personnes sourdes? Rien ne doit être décidé sur nous sans nous.

I'm truly honored to be invited to join this important panel, where Deaf people can discuss the ever-growing role of AI in our lives. But is AI being developed with Deaf people in mind? Nothing about us should be decided without us.

@markcarneyforpm.bsky.social is now the new Canadian PM. How long until the election writ drops?

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads: Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler
