I once knew an ER doc who worked 28 shifts one month so he could take like 2 months off to, I kid you not, use a real life falcon to spear hunt wild boar in medieval garb, and self-translate a piece of some ancient tablet/text he somehow acquired.
It took them less then 48 hours to make sure depositors at SBV were covered, yet student debt cancelation is means-tested and is being challenged by the court.
Just in case you forgot who exactly the system is designed to work for and against.
Mark Cuban became $125 million richer on Friday, $2.65 billion richer during the pandemic & is now worth $6.37 billion. The Supreme Court is determining the legality of providing $20,000 in debt forgiveness to a Pell Grant recipient making less than $60,000. Who is more at risk?
Neo-Nazi groups are reportedly organizing a national “Day of Hate” against Jews on Saturday.
We will not be intimidated.
We are resilient.
We are strong.
We are #JewishandProud.
Terrible news.
The first drag ban has passed in Tennessee, and goes to the governors desk.
It could easily ban pride. It bans public drag. It bans transgender people performing, who are just living their lives.

A committee in Missouri just passed a gender affirming care ban for trans youth, and in that ban, they amended out an exception if the youth was "in iminent danger of death."
This fulfils (a), (b), and (e)

Tens of thousands march in Madrid today in support of publicly owned and provided health care - and against health service privatisation
You probably won’t see this in our media - it might give people ideas
Arkansas Republican State Senator publicly asks about pharmacist’s private parts.
How does this fix any problem or help anyone?
There are a lot of good folks in the Arkansas legislature. Now is the time for good folks to speak up and condemn this behavior.
We can be better.
On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵
UPDATE: Union Pacific, one of the railroads that successfully fought off workers' demands for paid sick days, announced a record $7 billion profit. The company said it spent $1.7 billion more on stock buybacks in 2022 than on pay and benefits for all of its employees.
1. Florida teachers are being told to remove all books from their classroom libraries OR FACE FELONY PROSECUTION
