I love following different creative communities. The fashion girls and others BEEN talking about “innocuous” signs of the tide turning toward conservativism the last 2ish years through trends. Not just tradwives but also ‘clean girl’ aesthetic, ozempic & re-emphasis on thinness

this cnn interview about mass deportations is a big sign of a lot of the coverage we're about to get. bash's top questions are "how would it work" and "don't businesses need undocumented workers?" just quibbling over the details of fascism https://t.co/MIa8QxOXYN

Waffle House workers, at the front lines of disasters, are demanding more.

The 24-hour chain famously stays open come hell or high water (inspiring FEMA’s Waffle House Index), but pays workers as little as $3 an hour https://t.co/2imGDA0qtV
