I was in two back to back committee meetings yesterday that made it hard for me to comment on this story.
We are taking this seriously. Public restrooms are commonsense. It’s a key strategy to bringing more people downtown and our cultural corridors. Along with the humanity aspect.

Really glad to see this; and especially glad that it's coming out of the Public Health & Safety Committee. It is a public health issue but it's also safety. Thank you CM @jchavezmpls.bsky.social and the rest of the committee! Please don't let it stay a report.

"At a time when the Republicans have been forced to finally talk about the healthcare crisis facing our country, it is essential that the Democratic Caucus unify behind a set of commonsense policies that will make healthcare more affordable and accessible," said Sen. Bernie Sanders.

![Instagram caption from NPR of their interview with John Fetterman
In his new book, "Unfettered," Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) criticized his party for losing the support of working class men, writing that President Trump appealed to them more because "he wasn't afraid to comment on things the left told us we were no longer allowed to have commonsense opinions on."
Fetterman also writes, “if men are forced to choose between picking their party or keeping their balls, most men are going to choose their balls.”
“I think there's been a disconnection,” he told "All Things Considered" host Scott Detrow. “It's just this idea and just being perceived as more anti-man […] And it's just a lot different kinds of energy that comes out from.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5fkaj7zmtrdz6o4az3vvlxbf/bafkreiadfrhld7ftk53pgpl2aaafm74uz2qivzeudf3nkmykvcx643fl7i@jpeg)

Sen. KAINE: I’m happy—because my friends won on Tuesday. But I’m happy anytime we have elections where people really participate. The kinds of things we’ve done in Virginia to make elections more accessible to all are commonsense, good for democracy, and good for voters.

yeah, one of the most frustrating things about the centrist pearl-clutching is that many leftists whom the dems were perfectly willing to throw under the bus voted for them anyway, and they've repaid that trust by finding more and more marginalised people to sacrifice to "commonsense and goodwill"

Last year, Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol took home 6,666 times as much pay as a typical Starbucks worker.
Allowing this kind of corporate greed to run rampant is a far more extreme position than passing a popular, commonsense tax on it. It's time for the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act.

Chart showing "bimodal" nature of gender / sex. Because female & male are the most common (the 2 modes), mistakes that they are the only 2 are made, either from lack of knowledge or deliberate persecution of minorities.
