Trump *is* doing debt cancellation. It's just not your student or medical debts. In his second term alone, Trump has already canceled $1.5 billion of criminal debt — payments fraudsters owe the federal government and victims. They don't mind debt cancellation—for themselves.

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

If you’re one if the “but the kids can’t go to school in the dark” ppl in the fall, I want to point out that last week they were going to school in the light but you fuckers sprang ahead so now it’s dark again. Fucking DST.

Happy International Women's Day! Remember, when in doubt, do as Stagecoach Mary Fields did, and either headbutt, shoot it, set it on fire, or let your horses trample it. "She broke more noses than any other person in central Montana."

"surely the third democratic presidency to come to power after a norm-breaking and warcrime-cheering Republican administration will pursue justice against their predecessors," I repeat like a mantra til I collapse

"Martinez was not protesting - he was driving by the scene of a road accident where ICE officers were helping to direct traffic." "... he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." Attorneys for Martinez's mother

Every time I call my Senators about cuts attributed to “waste fraud and abuse” I ask how they feel about sharing the chamber with Scott, considering the fraud he was responsible for was one of the worst cases in the history of the programs.

"Luis" is starting early am vine pruning surrounded by heavy fog in Madera County. "We're paid 31 cents per plant and must move quickly to make a full day’s pay. Cold temperatures and long hours make the work physically tiring. But we continue pruning row after row." #WeFeedYou

Y'all, get ready for shenanigans and confusion in November, because voter suppression is coming hard for middle-class white folks. I'm Williamson County, I left to vote at 2pm and didn't get home till 7:15pm. This county is more diverse than when I moved here 20 years ago, but still very white. 1/9

Bean wants to know what would happen if the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies collided. Where’s my astro ppl who can explain galaxies to 6 yo

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

The feds cut funding and now the states are having to implement it. Penny-wise and pound-foolish. Today's HIV meds don't just repress the disease; they stop transmission. The net effect will be to create a whole bunch of sick people. Expensive sick people.

everybody stay clear on the fact that several fascist autocrats are using the needless death of innocent human beings as a power grab / attempt to manipulate public opinion when their popularity is low.

Watching a commercial for some sleek new laptop just now, remembering about 30y back when I had to provide extensive, documented justification for ordering an “ultralight” 7lbs model w/backpack case b/c of all the travel I did for work. Back then the next lightest was about 10lbs.

we are mere hours from Trump admin officials going on TV and talking about how women and LGBTQ people are oppressed in Iran and that's why we need to bomb them meanwhile half the US has forced-birth laws in place and Kansas just revoked every trans person's drivers license

First, Iran is not an imminent threat to the United States or Israel. The regime is brutal and repressive, but not suicidal. History and intelligence bear this out. There is no reason to do this now.

Please pay attention. This is a horrible situation and it's going to do tremendous damage. Any fighting back, any help you can give, NOW IS THE FUCKING TIME TO DO IT.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

This KS thing about invaliding trans-ppls ID is fucked up. And making them pay for the replacement… while I know that’s not the worst thing about it, is just intentional lemon in the wound.

This one is for a REAL need and imma hopeful that an auto company gonna step up. KELLY PANNEK from the women’s hockey team got hits by someone who totaled her car. She needs a new car. Lots of brands commenting that they want to help,, but few truly stepping up. Who can help,??

I also wrote about the time I got to watch @winifred-frick.bsky.social catch a spectral bat the size of a dang crow -- one of the greatest animal moments of my entire life!!! 🧪 www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

Do you love bats as much as I do? Well my friend @winifred-frick.bsky.social has a bat book coming out the same day as GRIZZLED — #bookbuddies” — and it is a beauty!! 🧪

Did you just watch the US Men’s Hockey Team win Gold & now want to plaster yourself in 🦅🦅🦅? Perfect! @slate.com has published the entire bald eagle chapter from GRIZZLED!! Get some!!! With quotes from @janetngbio.bsky.social, a Canadian! What a game! 🧪 slate.com/technology/2...

“NEPAL REDUCED RHINO POACHING TO NEAR ZERO BY PAYING AND EMPOWERING LOCAL COMMUNITIES, PROVING CONSERVATION WORKS BEST WHEN PEOPLE CLOSEST TO WILDLIFE BENEFIT DIRECTLY.”

I just can’t stop thinking abt federal agents raiding the cells of incarcerated children to confiscate their drawings & letters. This is Nazi shit.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

The move is another Trump administration effort to limit legal pathways to migration or resettlement, after already curbing the number of admitted refugees and re-reviewing those admitted under the Biden administration. n.pr/3OwA9Sb

Whenever I see that new Budweiser commercial I immediately think of Peacemaker.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

Yes,,, your boy has taken a ride in the 4 man bobsled,,, but im an adrenaline junkie and needed to try skeleton. And now I’ve officially joined the team and am gonna try to start competing. 66 years old going 66 mph.

If the ultra-rich paid their fair share, we could not only afford Social Security, but also afford to increase it.

From The Guardian this morning, “And the next time I go out alone, on a weekday morning, I assume the brace position. I feel the threat of violence just under the surface. I carry suspicion with me. I wonder what my next encounter with a stranger will look like.” This is why we choose the bear.

Yet again I see titillating headlines, “Olympic village runs out of condoms.” It seems to happen every time we have an Olympics. How difficult can it be to plan a little better and provide more condoms?

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

🎶 It’s the most wonderful time of the year 🎶

Blumenthal on administrative warrants: "This is not a warrant. It's a permission slip. It's a green light from another ICE agent to go bash down a door, smash into a home, detain and arrest someone without a judge finding probable cause."

By eliminating modern environmental regulations, the Trump Admin is wasting billions of Taxpayer dollars that have been spent on ensuring our water potable. Not only will it undo those investments, it will cost us trillions more. But whatevs… 🎶 waste fraud & abuse 🎶

WHAT?!?!? 🤬🤬🤬

I don’t know who the announcer is but one of the guys calling the Olympic men’s Super G just described a run as “disrespecting the laws of physics” and I love that.

I would like to go further. There are really only two types of people: 1) those who work for money and 2) those whose money work for them. And if you have to work to provide and pay bills, you’re in group one and should ALWAYS stand in solidarity with the working class.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

This is a tax on you. You paid $1,000 more in a tax because of Trump.

A group of Buddhist monks has finally reached Washington, D.C., on foot, completing a 15-week trek for peace from Texas apnews.com/article/budd...

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration. Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Wow these commercials all look like they’ve had AI assist and they all suck

I’m so happy that amongst the absolute trash that is often my newsfeed, today Superb Owl has its place.
