The Dept of Labour wants to repeal 60 “obsolete” laws and worker protections.
When they say obsolete, what they really mean is laws that protect the most vulnerable.
Including home care workers for people with disabilities, who they say don’t need to be paid minimum wage or overtime:

1. The NYT has released its newest anti-trans podcast.
I listened to it all so you don't have to.
The most striking part is when they found the first PB patient, who is living his life as a normal, happy dude. It's such a contrast to the rest of the podcast.

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.
