Riot Queens, takes that real act - which sparked San Franciso's 1966 Compton's Cafeteria Riot, the first known full-scale riot asserting transgender and gay rights in the U.S. - and explores the emotional boiling point that led to it.

Due to the changing security landscape in Toronto in recent weeks, including increased volatility and heightened fear in our communities, demonstrations moving into residential neighbourhoods in the Bathurst and Sheppard area presents an unacceptable risk to public safety.

An Ontario Superior Court justice has ruled that the Al-Quds Day rally in Toronto may continue as planned Saturday afternoon. The decision comes after Premier Doug Ford asked the attorney general Friday to seek an injunction against the demonstration, calling it a "breeding ground for hate and antisemitism" in a post on social media.

Parents and grandparents of trans youth, plus their therapists and medical providers, are fed up after years of health care bans and hostile rhetoric. Those feelings are driving them to do things they've never done before - like plan to get arrested at a protest.

Putting on makeup. Like, we're supposed to disguise ourselves; otherwise, people think we didn't take this outing seriously, didn't care enough, or didn't act professionally. In some ways, beauty standards are social obligations. Keeping up with nails, clothes, hair, etc., that's almost an expectation in some relationships.

Art, at its very best, reminds me that there is a world out there that I not only belong to but trust - perhaps even love. Sandra Vázquez de la Horra's beeswax-dipped drawings of erupting women, mystical landscapes, and hallucinatory flora in The Awake Volcanoes at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, did just that. Oh, that old mystery of finding oneself reflected in the material fragments of someone else's private imaginary.

It was 6am. London. A few days before Christmas. My four-year-old is singing at the top of her lungs and charging around my parents' house on a hunt for the perfect crayon. There is nothing particularly unusual about this scene except for the fact that the crayon in question was for Greta Thunberg. The world's most well-known activist needed a writing tool and my daughter, O, was on the case.

Since its founding, Supermajority has contacted more than 20 million women voters, organizing for candidates including Democratic Govs. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Katie Hobbs of Arizona and Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, as well as for then-Vice President Kamala Harris' unsuccessful presidential bid last year. The group plans to connect its volunteers with other organizations that do grassroots organizing work, starting with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

"I'm so sad, I'm so angry,"

Four individuals caused a disruption at the political event shortly after 6:30 p.m., Sgt. Erin Cranton with the Ontario Provincial Police told CBC Toronto in a statement. Two other individuals caused a second disturbance outside the building and all six were removed from the property with help from Toronto police and event security, he said. The six protesters were released unconditionally and charges were not laid, Cranton added.

More than a thousand people braved the cold at Boston Common on Saturday to demonstrate against Trump's immigration policy. There was not a better time for Boston to protest ICE than in 15-degree weather following a snowstorm. Starting at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, crowds of Bostonians braved the frigid temperatures and mounds of snow to protest President Donald Trump's immigration policies and the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
