Absolutely true. Not only in relation to sexual labor, but *all* labor
I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

"Last night’s debacle made clear that we can’t wait for our side’s top 'leaders' to start leading. Winning a better country requires a new leadership in the Democratic Party & in organized labor. Anything short of that is a recipe for continued disaster."

Democrats Caved in the Shutdown Fight. Unions Let Them.
Millions of Americans could lose their health care because Democratic and union leaders refused to fight.

I’m enormously proud of what the socialist left in the United States has accomplished over the past decade. We’ve gone from nowhere to everywhere, working to build a majority coalition that can defeat fascist authoritarianism by transforming everyday people’s material conditions.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

Teen Vogue has had some of the most useful coverage of labor, politics and culture under Lex's guidance—and especially because of the audience it reached. This is a real loss, and a shameful act of whitewashing by Vogue.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Opinion: This is UConn: Zero paid family leave for professors
UConn currently lets every pregnant/expecting individual reinvent the wheel, cobbling together a leave plan with whatever resources and departmental grace they can muster.
