Thinking about how one of the first Epstein victims was trans and got relentlessly mocked in the media when she spoke up www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/when...
When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation
The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

I just want to mention that this was a New York Times reporter Epstein was talking to, and the NYT has never disclosed these emails or any photos conveyed.

I can say with 100% certainty that the legalization of thc beverages in minnesota allowed me to stop drinking booze and saved me from continuing a cycle of substance abuse trauma. please don’t let the puritans take that away.
health-wise, the emergence of the canna-beverage industries have been a great addition to the N/A beverages market for those who have cut alcohol out of their lives or cut back on drinking, but still want some level of "normalized" experience when going to a bar or music venue or whatever.

new: at least 26 unhoused chicagoans have been abducted since the start of "operation midway blitz."

the full scope of people disappeared is likely much larger but is obscured by heavy criminalization, social stigma, and fewer eyes and phones around to bear witness.

Another excerpt from Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Activists in Crisis. Red Schulte’s letter speaks to those organizing outside the law—a place more people of conscience will find themselves as authoritarianism tightens its grip.
When Everything Is Criminalized, We Must Unlearn the Language of “Innocence”
No one should be caged, tortured, detained, or deported by the state — all carceral violence is done wrongfully.

reminding you all that Jacob Frey is a racist asshole. don’t let him know peace for the next four years.

look up his statements on Moturi. hear how he talks about protesters. look at the Trumpers who fund him.

Frey is a Republican in denial.

Hey one of my top top favorite podcasts is Pablo Torre Finds Out @pablo.show. Smart, deep, thorough journalism about sports, the world, and everything. I’d say it’s a model for where media can go next but Pablo’s talent is a very rare thing.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

I wrote about the should-be-illegal trend of fencing off sidewalks because poor people are nearby. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...
Using fencing to curb homelessness in the Twin Cities is an insult - MinnPost
Agencies and governments turn to fencing instead of actual solutions for problems related to people experiencing homelessness.
