This is also not the time for dismissiveness about the moral hazard.

A major run on banks would be terrible. But so is a continuation of the status quo, where a bailout for the rich is regrettable but sound policy, but a bailout for poor people is dangerous socialism.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

weird how there are always billions of dollars just lying around whenever tech bros need their sketchy bank bailed out but there's never any money when children need healthcare or a simple school lunch. oh well just one of those things I guess

[Alec Stapp @AlecStapp]

What happened to Silicon Valley Bank?

Perfect explanation from @matt_levine in one paragraph:

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

I said it before, I’ll say it again for the people on the right.

[Amerifat Treatlerite 🐷 @uspsveteran]

weird how it’s ok to bail some people out but not others

[Westfield State Alumni @WestfieldAlumni]

After doctors said they couldn't save her daughter, Amanda Zurawski was denied an abortion under the new ban in Texas.

"We just had to wait for one of those things to happen: for her heart to stop beating, or for me to get sick," says Zurawski. "In my case, I became septic."

So, without telling anyone, Dave Grohl brought his giant smoker and cooked/fed barbecue and sides for 500 folks at Hope Mission in L.A. during the storms. Paid for it all. Worked 16 hours. So, when the aliens get here and ask “who’s in charge?”, I think we take them to Dave Grohl.

USA: freedom to blind those around you because we have a solution but we didn’t want to enact it.

I will not shut up about this until it’s solved. And I can drive at night again without deep discomfort.

[Axios @axios]

New federal rules are supposed to prevent ever-brighter car headlights from blinding oncoming drivers while also improving visibility — but they'll take years or even decades to have an impact. https://t.co/WhWBQtTVQr

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

History matters. It’s how we shine a light on the good, the bad, and the truth of who we are as a nation.

While darkness and denial can hide much, they erase nothing.

Only with truth comes healing, justice, and repair.

Let's defend voting, and stop defending hate and extremism. DEMOCRACY MUST NOT BE A PARTISAN ISSUE. IT'S AN AMERICAN ISSUE.
