As soon as Air Canada knew the strike was real, they made a deal.
In other words, if the government had told Air Canada that they wouldn't force the striking workers back to work, this whole thing would've been avoided.
The government constantly siding with corporations is why this chaos happened.

Gotta say, Stripe customer service just straight up saying "we don't support the sale of any LGBT content" was not on my bingo card for this campaign. Hopefully this will be getting lots of attention from all over soon! Tell any journalists and rights orgs you know about it today!
Same during my call- the wording I used was “non-explicit, legal, non-adult LGBT content”, and I got back the response that “yes, stripe is blocking this. We’re a private company, we make our own rules about it.” Was hung up on when I asked why.

Two coffee shops in my area have near-identical orange espresso tonic and I'm so thankful we've figured out the recipe because it's a delicious combo but so easy to get wrong. If you just mix orange juice and espresso you will be sad.

This has been a truth in the UK forever, too. Terf Island isn't real. People overwhelmingly do not care. But the 12 people who decide what the media and political landscape looks like are so disconnected from lived reality and such a fragile grasp on power that they need to hate us SO badly.
The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

I want to repeat the phrase "being forced to undergo the wrong puberty" until every remotely persuadable cis person in the world sees it: denying gender-affirming care to trans teens isn't neutral or default, it's forced body modification.
A lot of us older trans people didn't even have the conceptual vocabulary to articulate to ourselves that we *were* trans when we were teens. That's a very different experience from living now, in a much more aware society, knowing exactly who you are, and being forced to undergo the wrong puberty.

Whenever someone says they are upset by "growing division" I can't help but think of people like Newsom, who seem to think that the "problem" of people being upset about something is best solved by eliminating those people from public spaces.
So with Gavin Newsom. Does he actually object to the anti-speech abuse of power Trump is performing in LA, or is he just angry that Trump is the one doing the abuses of power instead of himself?
Is this just "I didn't say you could share my toys"

Newsom is literally sending cops from around the state to come brutalize us in LA. He was *literally* throwing poor people’s belongings away with his own hands. Fuck Gavin Newsom.
