On this week's Epoch, we welcome Comrade Binx to discuss a few bills working their way through the Massachusetts legislation, including HD.3313 (An Act establishing an arrearage relief fund), and HD.3761 (An Act to stop profiling transgender people and low-income women).How to stay up to date on the local government and any proposed bills, the importance of the language used in those bills, and how we can reshape our attitudes and world through use and understanding of that language. Before that, it's your normal Epoch. Joe's out, so Scott leads the news; big boat stuck in a narrow canal, Amazon unionizing efforts and the twitter drama around it, Creepy Matt Gaetz, and the CDC warns against reopening so fast. Jesse has a new Rabid Radlibs this week, and LE leads us into the world of weird chess freaks. Enjoy!
