If retailers raised prices during tariffs, that doesn’t create a liability to each customer—it creates profit (or covers costs). So if or when tariff refunds arrive, the default outcome is: firms recoup, shoppers don’t. Bottom line: You aren't getting a penny back.

NEW: ProPublica recently reported that the U.S. Forest Service knowingly issued protective gear containing PFAS to wildland firefighters. The agency says it has now stopped distributing those garments. By @abestreep.bsky.social

We do love a successful strike

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

I don’t want the Olympics to be over 😩

Listen to Sherrilyn pls 😮‍💨 Strap in y'all

Pritzker’s invoice to White House: (via @nbcnews.com) @govpritzker.illinois.gov

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

i'm watching spike lee's remarkable documentary FOUR LITTLE GIRLS and as much as i want to focus on the film i can't help but think about the people, with real power and influence, who want to take this country back to before birmingham

Researchers celebrate early results of a drug that may become the first treatment for a serious complication of pregnancy called preeclampsia. It's got the potential to save many lives.

Deep, writhing, endless rage

It's gotta be called skeleton because that's all that's left of you if you fall off that tiny sled 😮‍💨 #olympics

So ready to see peepaw Leon Kennedy in the new RE game

Morgawr, Sea Serpent of Falmouth Bay.

We rounded up 17 of our favorite LGBTQIA+ romantic movies and shows to celebrate love on Valentine's Day (and every day). https://bit.ly/4qxX7FW

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

The gallup presidential approval poll is an institution in American politics that predates world war 2. With Trump’s approval in the 30s, they’re ending it. thehill.com/homenews/med...

So what you're saying is more than 86% had NOT been charged or convicted of violent crimes.

Moment seems too big for Maye & the linemen rooks so far 🥲

A federal court has blocked Trump’s shutdown of America's biggest critical infrastructure project - which makes sense, since he's violating legal commitments the federal government made in good faith on my watch.

“Dear ICE agents - I hope you’re respectful to everyone and show kindness… we should treat all people the same, even if we don’t know them.” If this doesn’t shatter your heart you don’t have one. 💔 Our kids are watching. 🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...

Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say, ICE out. We're not savages, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.

Love Carole King wearing a huge "ICE OUT" pin.

A Democrat just won a state senate seat in Texas by 14 points after Donald Trump carried it by 17 points in 2024. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

My personal government data was stolen by DOGE. Where is my $10 billion?

Liam and his family are here legally. This whole horrible episode was simply state violence by Trump’s criminal administration aimed at terrorizing non white communities.

Ok - after spending hours deeply engrossed in GOT Wikipedia lore, Team Blackfyre. There, I said it 😤

THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND

Every one of the journalists arrested by the regime in last 24 hours was Black and that is not a coincidence.

Catherine O’Hara SCTV thread youtu.be/990OaFr8EYw?...

Catherine O'Hara is one of the comedic Greats. Put her up there with Gilda Radner, John Candy, etc. And 71???? Jesus that's young

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

what a whirlwind of a performer. RIP, Catherine O'Hara

Do not talk to me right now 😭

getting to watch Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy develop and evolve their comedic rapport with one another over decades from SCTV through the entire oeuvre of Christopher Guest and finally in Schitt’s Creek was a true gift for comedy fans.

Lmao good luck with that. She doesn't have a spine, let alone courage

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Just totally reversing one of the great miracles of the 20th century.

We had eradicated this disease. And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.

Have some pixel swords! I had been meaning to venture back in to pixelart, and decided to practice by doing some swords. Read on for what these are based on.

New Reuters/Ipsos poll U.S. approval on Trump's handling of immigration has slid from +7 to -14 in one year. www.reuters.com/data/trumps-... (conducted Jan. 23-25)

MIller’s enthusiasm for maximum cruelty and racism are hurting Trump. But since it helped him on the way to/back to power (and because Trump has always been deeply racist), it’ll be hard for Trump to be persuaded to dump him. But…dare to dream.

As seen on r/nursing Alex Pretti's coworkers taking a moment of silence to honor him

Universe whispered to draw Shego

Alex Pretti, the man shot and killed by a federal immigration agent on Saturday, was an American citizen and ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. Read more: https://cnn.it/4rjCSwF

People who knew Alex Pretti, a man fatally shot by immigration agents in Minneapolis, pushed back against what they called a smear campaign by federal officials. “He was a good man,” his family said.
