DeSantis tries, fails, to prove liberals hate immigrants as much as he does https://t.co/0utPzTZ6bc

I want to talk about a practice that should be unlawful but isn’t:

companies and institutions demanding unpaid labor during the job interview process.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven.

It’s not a victory for “the White House.” It’s a victory for “women and those who don’t want women to die unnecessary deaths.”

This sort of framing is how we got here in the first place.

if you’re this mad about people receiving forgiveness without “earning” it, I have some terrible news about Jesus

If the economy adds zero jobs in August what is the best way to describe the jobs situation:

*Zero jobs added in August

*5.6m jobs added over the last year

A few thoughts from Producing Artistic Director David M. Jenkins about the season coming to an end, his worries about the future, and how that has informed 2022-23. https://t.co/cWikpPwOjQ #Tampa #TampaBay #arts #stage #theater #theatre

Great history lesson from @divyadivyadivya on how @UF's student newspaper @TheAlligator was kicked off campus and its editor arrested back in 1972 for printing the then-illegal info on where to get a legal abortion. @TB_Times https://t.co/V1w2QIsV4C

[Craig Pittman @craigtimes]

50 years ago, a @UF student named @RonSachsFla bucked #Florida’s abortion laws by publishing in the student paper a list of abortion clinics — a possible felony in a time before #RoeVsWade, risking his arrest & expulsion. https://t.co/xbkK1azANL via @divyadivyadivya

1. Abortion rights for millions will evaporate because anti-abortion politicians have accumulated immense power at the state & federal level

Accumulating that much power is very expensive

Cash from major corporations helped make this happen

Don’t mind me over here packing for a long weekend, trying to cram everything into a carry-on like I haven’t been wearing the same outfit for the past two years ✌🏻

“indirectly, we are all part of the fines-and-fees matrix that entraps poor people in debt or keeps them tethered to the criminal justice system. None of us should look away.”

Comprehensive must-read on how punitive “back-door taxes” are linked to inadequate revenue policy

[ITEP @iteptweets]

Tax cuts have straightforward consequences on state funding.

But they also have a less visible consequence: escalating pressure for state and local governments to secure revenue via other means, often on the backs of low-income people. https://t.co/PW2QBhj7hk
