"Anyone who doesn't see the point of this entire situation [the Wi Spa hoax and subsequent protests involving Proud Boys] is to incite violence against trans women is either willfully ignorant or lying" -- Eilis, Trans Identified Erinyes (Any/All) ([twitter.com profile] lisaquestions), 2021-07-18

[Even though police and the spa say there's no evidence any trans person was even present the day of the false report, IIRC at least one trans woman living in the area has already gotten death threats based on the assumption she was there.]

I had not heard about the Wi Spa hoax and violence. Horrifying.

This has been ongoing for at least two weeks now, if memory serves. I live in Ottawa and found out via The Guardian among other sources.

Unfortunately, the WaPo is currently devoting about 5 full pages per day to the Pegasus Project. Which granted is important news if one cares at all about digital privacy (and even personal security), but does eat up a lot of room that could be devoted to other stories.
