I think the big lesson for the left in general is that opportunities for anything good to happen are rare and mostly due to dumb luck so you better be ready to take advantage when they show up

You're forgetting that while it's fine for the world to be completely unfair all the time, it is not ok for it to be unfair to one individual who thinks they deserve something at a specific point

This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

i want to be clear about this: worker’s rights also includes the right to be free from racist or sexist or gendered abuse at your job.

These are meaningful in creating a visible "culture of defiance," which in turn encourage further courageous acts of solidarity.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

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 🧵

This is their circular “bootstrap eugenics” ethos: if you’re poor, you’re lazy. If you’re poor & working 3 jobs, you’re stupid. If you’re sick, you didn’t take care of yourself. If you took care of yourself & got sick, you’re weak & expendable. And on & on.
