So, after trying to keep the hearing a secret, now the judge that will effectively open the door to eliminating abortion even where it's legal, has banned cameras and cell phones.

Why are banks allowed to have shareholders at all? Doing so only serves to privatize the gains, and then, when a bank goes too far in maximizing shareholder returns, socialize the losses.

@tprophet

The US is a place where we make children pay for school lunches and shame them when they can't, but where the CEO of Roku – who gets paid $18M per year – gets a government bailout after leaving almost half a billion dollars in a bank account that was only insured for $250k.

What a country.

"Freewheeling"? Good God, it's not a comedy tour and the Post shouldn't be reviewing it as one. Do they realize that democracy is at stake?
On the trail, freewheeling Donald Trump counters scripted Ron DeSantis https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/03/14/trump-desantis-2024/

Blossom, a goose who lives on a pond in a cemetery, tragically lost her mate Bud. The staff at the cemetery noticed she was lonely & posted a personal ad seeking another match for her. The ad worked, & Blossom met Frankie, another widowed goose. They hit it off and are now inseparable. #MadeMeSmile

@DrPsyBuffy @ManOfRust having taken my mom who is almost 90 to appointments I can assure you it gets much worse . She’s physically frail but fine mentally. They called me in and the doctor proceeded to address his comments to me rather than my mom until she spoke up and said “if you want a medical practice where you speak to the person who brought the patient in you should switch to veterinary medicine”. The very elderly are treated like things, not people.

Clever match-up for energy conservation:
* Heating pools is expensive...
* Cooling hot-running data centers is expensive...
Combine them and you get ...

"Digital boilers" proven practical enough to be deployed to heat 65 pools & some Danish & Swedish homes.

Nebraska state senator Machaela Cavanaugh is 3 weeks into filibustering an anti-trans bill. "If this Legislature collectively decides that legislating hate against children is our priority, then I am going to make it...painful for everyone." https://apnews.com/article/filibuster-transgender-gender-affirming-therapy-bill-nebraska-cavanaugh-b9018fd1bf72112ca984ff58679eda6d

Oh, great! Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse…

We’re being attacked by a giant avocado!

Speaking of Social Security modifications...

Once again my political hero - Elizabeth Warren - attacks the 1% instead of just bemoaning their crappy scams

The Glass-Steagall Act was the law of the land until 1999.

It prohibited banks from using their deposits to pursue high-risk investments — separating Wall St. from Main St.

I say bring it back!

Florida: Legislators Plan to Lower Age to Buy Guns from 21 to 18 - Owning the libs is making Florida more dangerous, less equitable and more callous. https://dianeravitch.net/2023/03/14/florida-legislators-plan-to-lower-age-to-buy-guns-from-21-to-18/ via @dianeravitch #DeFascist

@StillIRise1963 I figure a lot. Cops around here love those open and shut cases and they won’t investigate anything they can possibly mark down as “accidental” or “natural causes.” Anyone who’s a member of a marginalized group is in danger. Especially if they don’t have family willing to stand up for them. When we all realize that and band together as allies, it may make it stop. There are more of us than there are of them.
