I want everyone (EVERYONE) who wears Meta AI glasses branded as a creep and weirdo (bad weirdo as opposed to good one) and publicly shamed. We did it with Google glass, we can do it again
Men are using Meta AI glasses to secretly film women at beaches, shops, on the street & on nights out. They then post these clips online where they receive a barrage of misogynistic abuse.
I’m campaigning to make this behaviour an offence.
Women deserve to feel safe in public spaces.

Today Republicans want to pass a bill to strip the Fed's mandate for maximum employment.
This mandate is essential to ensuring jobs are available & people are employed—and removing it would devastate our economy & communities.

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills.
This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
