Rogan Calls Trans People “Perverts,” Spreads School Shooting Lies On Show This week, on The Joe Rogan Experience: Steve-O and more anti-trans hate.

1. Yesterday, Joe Rogan called transgender people perverts and school shooters to his audience of tens of millions of people.

It was his most overt display of transphobia yet.

Democrats wanted to court this man and his listeners.

The latest from our journalist, S. Baum.

The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.

A notorious RCMP unit shaped B.C. universities’ reaction to Palestine encampments ⋆ The Breach From Fairy Creek to university campuses, CRU-BC is positioning itself as the go-to police force for repressing dissent

The same police unit that arrested Wet'suwet'en land defenders and surveilled Fairy Creek demonstrators was monitoring the Palestine solidarity movement on BC campuses

We're pretty skeptical too. Because there's been quite a bit of speculation about this particular image, we asked him about it, and he denied it.

But frustratingly, he's not been willing to give us more details about what the picture he saw showed, exactly... or where it came from.

omg katie 😂

Showing the sitting mayor of Canada’s third largest city a printout of an offensive AI slop image to confirm whether that’s the image he saw that led him to accuse a councillor of a crime, is possibly the weirdest thing I’ve ever done at work. And I once wrote about a merkin art exhibit.

COPE Councillor Considering Next Steps After Mayor’s False Drug Accusations | The Tyee Ken Sim wrongly accused Sean Orr of dealing illegal drugs and initially let another councillor take the blame.

It's just one image from this particular X account, which often makes disturbing, grotesque images of other left-wing politicians but really has a focus on Orr.

Sim has denied this was the image he saw - but he also refused to explain how it differed. thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

We've opted not to publish this fake AI image because it's really demeaning. But it shows Orr and former Coun. Jean Swanson surrounded by DULF boxes (compassion club that distributed heroin, meth and cocaine) with a Christmas tree in the background.

Mayor Ken Sim has said he was shown a photo that led to him making a false accusation against Coun. Sean Orr.

There IS a fake AI image that came out around Christmas that sort of matches the allegations. @kehyslop.bsky.social asked Sim about this yesterday. #vanpoli

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.

They also didn’t pay cover 🖕

What's the difference between a public inquiry and coroner's inquest into Tumbler Ridge? | CBC News A coroner's inquest has been called into the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting and B.C.'s public safety minister says a public inquiry is also possible. But how do the two differ and what can Canadians expe...

What’s the difference between a coroner’s inquest and a public inquiry, and why are some pushing for both in the case of Tumbler Ridge?

I thought it might help to break down these two types of investigations, and the paths to finding answers that they could take:

Why Was a Former School Trustee Fined $750,000? | The Tyee A Tyee explainer on the BC Human Rights Tribunal hate speech decision regarding Barry Neufeld.

This case has entered the right-wing political spin cycle. So
@kehyslop.bsky.social took a look at the decision and how Neufeld's actions affected LGBTQ2S+ teachers in the Chilliwack School District.

Sellner and his wife Brittany Pettibone are good friends of Lauren Southern (according to her)

Southern recently popped up in Victoria to give a talk to the We Unify people

Addendum: sometimes journalism means staring at two photos of shoes trying to figure out if they're the same. 🙃

This particular gym was shocked to discover these photos and told @rachelgilmore.bsky.social they'd take immediate action, including cutting tied with the boxing trainer - and former Olympian - she and @antihate.ca researcher Elizabeth Simons identified.

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal.

After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.

Here’s my investigation:

Well the mayor is planning another press conference tomorrow on fun things that are happening on Granville Street

I don't think this issue is going away 🙃

“This doesn’t go far enough,” says Orr.

Says it’s unfathomable that Sim would not fact check such a serious claim, says he’s still considering a defamation lawsuit, says he hasn’t been told what the photo is.

“Is it AI?””

Probation for Mountie Who Ordered Witnesses to Destroy Evidence | The Tyee Bystanders said police told them to delete videos of the arrest of Dale Culver, who died in police custody.

'The court heard from several witnesses who testified that RCMP officers approached bystanders and told them to stop recording and delete their videos. They were threatened with arrest, imprisonment and having their phones confiscated.'

I want to an anti-trans talk on the weekend and it really drove home for me that it's the exact same playbook used by anti-abortion people.

Double trouble: New drug on B.C. streets brings hallucinations, vomiting, ICU after overdose For months, British Columbia’s health officials have been issuing warnings about a new street drug that’s sent overdose calls soaring, but the risk of withdrawal hasn’t been well understood.

You know what fentanyl is but have probably never heard of medetomidine

That’s changing as it’s increasingly saturating BC’s illicit drug supply and adding more strain to our healthcare system

Users can have severe, life-threatening withdrawal in hours
