The platform formerly known as Twitter has now removed headlines from article links. Because what people really want to do is waste time clicking a picture while completely uncertain about what’s behind it.
We should not ignore the fact that the GOP is on track to nominate as its presidential candidate a man who is indicted on 78 criminal counts across multiple jurisdictions both state and federal. The GOP is broken beyond repair.
It can’t be said enough how right Hillary Clinton was. About everything.

What’s happening in Tennessee is atrocious, and evidence of what the Republican Party fears more than anything else: a multi-racial, multi-generational coalition unafraid to speak truth to power.

Solidarity with the students, lawmakers, and activists fighting for gun control.

Hey, if you are in #Wisconsin and you haven't voted yet, please vote tomorrow so we can have a non-Nazi court that strikes down our abortion ban written and passed by old shitty-mustache men seven fucking decades before women COULD VOTE IN AMERICA and well prior to medical science actually understanding how women's actual insides work and that they were free people deserving of agency and rights under the law and also have a court not populated by bitter revanchist Klansmen champing at the bit throw out my votes and overthrow the constitution of the United States because I didn't vote fascist enough, thank you.

I.e. vote for #JudgeJanet, please. Thank you in advance for saving the republic from assholes.

⚠️ Via Sherrilyn Ifill:

This is a VERY SERIOUS situation unfolding in #Nashville. Reps who stood w/their constituents who came to state house to demand #guns safety are facing expulsion from the House. Their Member ID badges have already been turned off. This is how #democracy ends.

Olivia Julianna:

...The Tenn. legis is planning to expel lawmakers who stood w gun control advocates today.

They've been stripped from committee assignments & their member ID’s shut off

THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs ~$3 to make.

Meanwhile, over the last two years, the company made over $19 billion in profits off the vaccine.

Textbook corporate greed.

On March 7, 2018, he had his press secretary, Sarah Sanders lie to the White House press corps: "Yeah, I’ve had conversations with the President about this…There was no knowledge of any payments from the president and he’s denied all of these allegations."

Albertsons bought Safeway. Now Kroger wants to buy Albertons.

Combined they would control ~22% of the U.S. grocery market.

Concentration in the industry is already bad. Just five companies dominate over 60% of American grocery sales.

This deal must be blocked.

My take on the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and how this is connected to the Fed’s war on inflation.
