"Gender ideology" has become a rallying cry for anti-LGBTQ2S+ groups across the world. For @XtraMagazine, I spoke with @clairecahouse and experts from @splcenter and @TGEUorg about what the term reveals about the future of the anti-trans movement. xtramagazine.com/health/mental-…

[1/3] The JHR team is saddened by the passing of Kanienke:haka (Mohawk) journalist Thaioronióhte Dan David. Over a 45-year career, Dan reshaped Indigenous journalism in Canada, most notably as the founding force behind APTN News.

For @XtraMagazine's roundup of 2025's main characters, I wrote about @Anania00—the beloved host of Gaydar and darling of the queer internet—and @TransJA's industry-changing work! xtramagazine.com/culture/righte…

JHR is dismayed by the killing of Al Jazeera correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh, cameramen Ibrahim Zaher and Moamen Aliwa, and their assistant Mohammed Noufa in Gaza on Sunday. We condemn in the strongest terms the targeting of journalists and demand Israel immediately end such attacks, which constitute a grave violation of international humanitarian law and an assault on press freedom. Since the start of the conflict, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) estimates that 192 journalists have been killed, making this the deadliest conflict for journalists in its 33 years of data collection. We also re-amplify our earlier call for an end to Israel’s policy of restricting aid to Gaza, which has led to mass starvation, including of journalists: newswire.ca/news-releases/…

"I approach the glow of Jack Astor’s neon sign on a mission. I want to know whether the family-style restaurant is really over, and if so, whether it deserves the death we’ve served it." Read @ZiyaJonesA's take on the state of the family-style chain: maisonneuve.org/article/2025/0…
