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 🧵

Not a single major news outlet has covered this story. There is such a blatant, obvious attempt to suppress any and all news that deals with the actual facts about transgender life and experience. As the government rolls back our rights on an unprecedented scale, we have been left out to dry.

I would not assume that individual parents have any responsibility. Infants can’t get vaxed until 2 mos and aren’t fully vaxed until 6 mos. Kentucky has rural communities with major health access challenges on top of the misinfo coming from all directions. This is a systemic/policy failure.
Unbelievable.
Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

We're primarying John Fetterman.
Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.
We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

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.
