The entire conversation around the minimum wage is framed as a question of entitlements or “handouts” when the issue is really this: of the value produced by a worker per hour, how much should employers be prevented from stealing?

instead of being almost exclusively a tactic of megacorporations with established properties and public shareholders

A benefit I never see discussed of getting art commissioned from real people is that you can get them printed as vinyl stickers and put them on your car. No one can stop you!

refusing to accept this isn’t just about “purity” or whatever, it’s about effective politics. someone who thinks it’s practical to cave on trans rights misunderstands how politics works, they don’t recognize that public opinion is forged by perseverance
Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?
I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

it is not about sports. it has never been about sports. it is about banning trans people from public life entirely AT BEST, and at worst, forcing them into situations that will endanger their lives. this is why we don't play along with the "just asking questions" sports bullshit
🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space".
In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender.

First they came for the trans people
And I did not speak out
Because I did not want to let the idea of perfect ruin good

I am so fucking sick of this vile argument that fighting anti-trans hate is making perfect the enemy of good.
Forcing trans people out of society isn’t “good”!! It’s fucking evil!
“Once that is done” means “let a bunch of people that I deem less important die in the meantime”. No! Fuck you!
