This is how we do it
A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.
Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

I tool this at Bro-tex this morning. From a PiPress article about ICE on Lake St in June '25 "The Southern Poverty Law Center says there are Neo-Völkisch groups that “rely on a romanticized Viking aesthetic and mythos — imagery they use to perpetuate their belief in white racial superiority."

Was out knocking the doors today for a black mayoral candidate and had a resident say he, a white male, didn’t feel represented by city leadership because “no one in the mayor’s office or on City Council looks like me or *even* like you” (I’m a white woman). 1/x

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
