These two women would have been able to access abortion services much earlier in the pregnancy, if they were in Europe instead of Oklahoma. This case is the kind of thing that restricting access to legal abortion early in pregnancies causes. This is the fault of the Oklahoma abortion bans
Oh I thought it was just a couple random people getting squicky about trans ladies using the ladies room? So you admit that it’s an organized effort. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone move their goalposts in the wrong direction before lmao
Outlawing gender affirming medical care has zero impact on sports, you willful liar. No, the truth is that the people behind this movement are targeting trans people because they’re the most convenient vulnerable group to rally hateful bigots around right now. Gay people are acceptable, the dog caught the car on the abortion “debate,” and they need a new boogeyman to leverage to whip votes
Oh fuck you, stop lying. The vast majority of Americans agree on reasonable abortion restrictions.
“When asked about the legality of abortion at different stages of pregnancy, about two-thirds of Americans say it should be legal in the first trimester (69%), while support drops to 37% for the second trimester and 22% for the third. Majorities oppose abortion being legal in the second (55%) and third (70%) trimesters.”

Having your literal survival threatened has a way of focusing the attention. We’re already reaching the point where people can’t afford the bread and circuses.
He followed Glenn Greenwald down the “I feel like people don’t respect my leftism enough, so I’m gonna join the alt-right” path
The secret ingredient is ✨🌈 misogyny ✨🌈
Stop lying. The massive, coordinated effort to outlaw gender affirming medical care is so much more than “a couple people feel squicky about trans ladies using the ladies room.”

Omfg, please leave right now
We’ll get there in our time, friend.
If by “quitting” you mean we all die, I think you just might be right.
As I literally sit here in the cafeteria on my day off rallying for our upcoming union vote 💪
Herd animals gonna herd animal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lol 10-20 years. AGI is a fantasy.
Maybe let’s try focusing on content and not personal characteristics of the presenters:

I’m way more annoyed by that terrible echoey microphone
He’s not 100% wrong about the H1B being indentured servitude. By many accounts, the only employees Twitter was able to retain were those here on H1B, which doesn’t allow them to change employers without renewing their visa status. A good friend of mine was stuck in a bad employment situation because she was here on H1B. Employers definitely exploit that visa status, pretending that paying the visa processing fees gives them the right to abuse the employee.
But heaven forbid we just reform it to give the H1B visa holder greater employment rights and more freedom to switch jobs easily. Never forget that “meritocracy” is always code for rich. Those who can afford the best schools, the best tutors, who have the best social connections to achieve in their careers. A “meritocratic” system absolutely would not be more fair.
We need to end the habit of prioritizing things based on whether or not they are “productive.” It’s ok to be unproductive. It’s ok to be lazy and fuck around and socialize and just generally hang out helping people.
Sorry, this is a particularly sensitive issue for me right now where our Chief Nursing Officer acts like if we have time to have any conversation with our colleagues, then that means we have enough time to manage one more patient. When the fuck did being able to have a little downtime at work become such a terrible offense?
(Yes, we’re unionizing. Because absolutely fuck this mentality.)
No, you’re actually wrong on this account. Grooming is definitionally the emotional manipulation that is performed specifically in order to get away with sexually abusing a child. One example of this kind of grooming involves doing illicit non-sexual activities with a child in order to seem like a “fun adult” who “let’s them get away with bad things” and to get the child to practice “keeping this our secret” so that when the direct sexual abuse starts, the child is already in the habit of hiding illicit activity from other adults.
“We need to see pain in the economy”
“There’s been a systematic change where employees feel the employer is extremely lucky to have them”
“claimed that shift is hitting productivity in the sector”
This attitude is an actual mental illness. Productivity is killing us, killing our climate. What we need is LESS PRODUCTIVITY and more leisure, more time to care for one another, focus on food production, distribution, healthcare, and education, things that involve taking care of other humans. Why should everyone everywhere forever have to live on the razor’s edge of their ability to keep up with life?

YEP. Same. It’s always entertaining at work to watch a colleague who’s never heard my accent before hear me speak to a patient from Appalachia or the south
You know that’s not true
