While you weren't looking, *seventeen* House Democrats just voted to strip basic rights from trans members of the military and helped the GOP pass their far-right version of the NDAA, similar to what we reported on.
This is the most Dems voting for anti-trans legislation in Congress this year.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.
But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

Not only is this profoundly disrespectful of James Earl Jones, this is also a microcosm of the effects of AI on labor, and indicates the *potential* impacts as AI โindustryโ continues to advance unregulated.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
