Good morning all (or whatever it is when you read this.) If you're in this channel, you probably already know about the Trans Day of Remembrance, but as this is the 25th one, I feel like a brief reminder of why it started is warranted.

On November 20th, 1995, Chanelle Pickett was murdered by a known chaser, and the murderer not only changed his story during the trial (initially claiming the BS "trans panic" defense), but at least four witnesses to his conduct were not allowed to testify. The murderer would only receive 2 years in prison and 5 of probation.

A little over three years later, on November 28th, 1998, Rita Hester was murdered as well, stabbed in her own apartment, not far from the previous killing. Her murderer was never caught, but as with Chanelle Pickett, media coverage and police reports regularly misgendered her, only adding to her family and friend's pain and disrespecting her memory.

TDoR was founded the following year, on November 20th, 1999, after activists noticed how quickly the 1995 murder had faded from community memory: violence against trans and non-binary people (and especially black trans women like Hester, Pickett, and Monique Thomas, killed 2 months before Hester) was so common, we had almost forgotten her already.

So whether or not you go to a vigil or other TDoR event, please:

Remember the names of those who've fallen without disrespecting them as the media and police often do.

Remember that violence against us should not be normalized no matter how often it happens and that every loss is a tragedy whether you personally knew the victim or not.

Grieve in your own way, but also as you read or hear the list of names this year, don't let that grief drown your other emotions: joy in finding who you are, pride in your community, anger at those who do violence against us and the government and justice system that often fails us, and anything else your heart has you feel.

Finally, remember that you are loved, you matter, and no matter where you are, you have a community out there ready to accept the true you.

Hold on, stay strong, and never forget.

'Wild West' The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel. "This time we received the coordinates of enemy vehicles marked 'V' in Kyiv region," it added. On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised.
