If it wasn’t clear before, this awful post makes it obvious.
Many Crime Watch pages aren’t objectively about solving problems & creating safer communities.
They’re often run by people looking to vilify, divide, & sow fear.
If ever someone references them w/ respect, show that person this post.

we should reject waymo on the basis of supporting labor in minnesota, where uber and lyft drivers fought to score a statewide minimum wage! and don't forget that lyft contributed $10,000 to all of mpls this year to reelect mayor frey and get a city council allied with him. they are making moves
This, 1,000x this. I've been harping about Waymo being anti-worker and yet another way to funnel money upwards to the elite/oligarchs, and people react like I'm nuts. (It's also why I never use self-checkouts.)
and this is why waymo is a labor issue, not a tech issue! it's going to be taking money out of the pockets of rideshare drivers and putting it solely in the hands of big tech

Leading anti-trans writer Kathleen Stock (whom Rowling is “proud” to call her friend), now comes out with this gem on abortion. Who could have foreseen that TERFs would attack bodily autonomy? All of us did. All of us.
Transphobia rots your brain.
Transphobia rots your brain.
Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.
