Another announcement from the Ford government about expanding jails across Ontario.

Communities are desperate for housing, food, transit, harm reduction, health care, recreational space, school-based resources... the list goes on.

All we ever get is bigger jails.

So excited to see this article out in the world!

A wonderful collaboration with several folks from @itds-csa.bsky.social about what it means to commit (to) digital sociology and how we can better support grad students/ECRs who engage digital research methods.

Just imagine that after the last four weeks of campaigning, the only gain your party made was to defeat a Black woman who your party tried to destroy for supporting Palestine. Incredible stuff from the ONDP.

The WPS has a bigger budget than ever - and is about to get tens of millions more every year - yet it's so clear that policing is not working as claimed.

Actually addressing these issues requires providing people's basic needs.

SCOOP: Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months.

Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's β€œsensitive content” policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content", Meta said they are fixing this β€œerror” after I reached out for comment.

Federal Court Rules In Favor of Forcibly Detransitioning Transgender Inmates In Florida Incarcerated transgender people were a major topic of debate in the 2024 elections. Now, a judge ruling on a Florida policy shows how cruel abandoning trans people in prison can be.

A federal court has ruled that Florida can detransition inmates.

Some trans inmates are having estrogen pulled, hair shorn, and put through state-run conversion therapy.

This is the cruelty of abandoning incarcerated trans people.
