If you can, please consider donating to their GoFundMe. The money is going to union members this holiday so they can buy groceries and pay rent while they fight for a fair contract.

If MiUSA means anything at all, it must mean good paying jobs for workers.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

"performative male" hate seems to be a repeat of lumbersexual and metrosexual to me, and all ultimately come down to saying that guys are either being manipulative or are gay for being feminine/caring about how they look

as a gay wrath fag i may have to start dressing performatively for the haters

My @thestar.com column this week: A third-party review says Toronto’s streetcars are among the slowest in the world. But they don’t have to be.

Maintenace improvements, operational changes and a little political will could really speed things up.

Matt Elliott: Toronto’s streetcars are some of the slowest in the world. Here’s how the city could speed them up
The TTC likes to blame the sluggish pace of streetcars on things beyond its control, but the data tells a different story.

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

I’m still thinking about Bari Weiss saying that Hasan Piker (extremely popular influencer) is less of a measure of where Americans are than Alan Dershowitz (extremely unpopular Epstein associate, his own neighbors won’t sell him a pierogi)

can we get another court case against bill 60? tenants and non-motorists would really appreciate not having their charter rights being eroded :3c
A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

Depending on what you mean by "foundational immigration law," it's not true that this system has existed over a millennia.

For much of US history, migrants arrived by simply walking off of a boat. First US immigration law came in 1882 with the Chinese Exclusion Act.

One thing I'd always like to point out when NIMBYs say some application isn't producing enough green space: we have the room for lots of green space. We just spend it on parking.

we really need to make it culturally acceptable to yell at people parking in the bike lanes/on the sidewalks, if for no other reason than endangering cyclists who have to risk getting rear-ended and for those with mobility devices having to go into the road

and maybe deflate their tires #urbanism

this video makes me retch
On the internet today, you can find countless companies who present their tailoring in very "alpha male" or "luxurious" ways. These are typically not real tailors. They are businesspeople who are working with overseas factories. They also work with influencers, who make stuff like this:

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Moving things to the US would mean a worse product, less consistency, and often a higher price, which would deliver lower value for the customer. A rep at a luxury company said: "Our Italian workers learned tailoring at a young age, often at home; it's embedded in the culture."
