As all the mechanics in my life I know hit their thirties they have either figured out how to get their way to running a shop/management, or their bodies are breaking. To make a living with manual labor in this country is to destroy your body and receive a societal shrug when you’re disabled.

I would like the liberals screaming on social media about releasing the Epstein files to read the material that has been released where Jeffrey Epstein very deliberately talks about his plan to engineer right wing politics around transphobia in order to conquer greater society

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

10 years ago, the NBA announced it would relocate its All-Star game out of North Carolina in protest against the state's transphobic "Bathroom Bill" (which accompanied other anti-LGBTQ laws) and now, thanks in enormous part to The New York Times, it's hard to find a Dem who will defend trans people

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Fun fact — and reminder: For all their focus on “officer safety” and arguments about aggressive tactics being necessary, no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty. It is more deadly in the US to be an elementary school student than an ICE officer.

Great discussion on Chicago bus service management happening here/in the linked substack/in related threads. My contribution: if you stack it up against other networks, it would seem Chicago's buses get a fair bit less layover time at terminals than the norm. This will impact bunching!

Instead of saying that all these laws "prohibit trans people from using the bathroom of their choice" we should be more clear. Bathroom bans are intended to prohibit trans people from using the bathroom, or any public accomodations, at all.. Like be for real here.
