    The United States is so anti-worker that in the middle of a pandemic the New York Times is referring to workers gaining minimal class consciousness as a “disease”.
    Something infectious is spreading through the work force. Its symptoms present in a spate of two-week notices. Its transmission is visible in real time. And few bosses seem to know how to inoculate their staff against this quitagion. nyti.ms/3Am1BXI

    If you haven’t been following this story, Congresswoman Katie Hill’s abusive ex husband leaked naked photos of her. Now she’s resigning from Congress: “as long as I’m in Congress, we’ll live fearful of what might come next and how much it will hurt.”
    It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community, and our country. See my official statement below.

    TIL that each city that hosts the Olympics gets to include a new sport of their choice, often a sport that’s uniquely popular in their city. Paris chose breaking. If San Francisco were to host the Olympics, what would our sport be?

    Mayor Breed has introduced a proposal that would allow the city to tow any RV parked on the street overnight. In exchange, the 1400 families living in RVs would be encouraged to go to a homeless shelter — a shelter which already have a 500+ person waitlist.

    Replying to @sashaperigo
    Rep. Katie Hill defeated a Republican jerk to flip her district last year. She is California’s first openly bisexual Congressperson and a fierce homeless services advocate. This is a massive loss.

    (TW: sexual assault) I'm heartbroken to share that the man who raped me in April is @Jon_Jacobo. Prior to my rape, I considered Jon a great friend and a great person, which is why it's so important for me to come forward. Please RT and share widely!
