North Carolina Legislature Sends Anti-Voting Election Bill to Governor
This week Biden forgave federal student debt for 804,000 borrowers. A judge upheld the decision—proving yet again that Biden has authority to cancel student debt.
Furthermore—if we can bail out Wall Street with $10T & cancel $2.1T in billionaire taxes & cancel $800B in PPP loans—then we can cancel $1.7T in predatory student loans.
We've bailed out corporations and billionaires long enough. Let's elevate working people.

New article in Nature yesterday:
I am indeed one of the scientists that left Twitter (in November 2022) for many of the reasons that are described in this article. I am not tempted to return to the platform but I mourn the loss of what it was. Mastodon and BlueSky are quite promising for a community of scientists but I think it will be difficult to recreate the cross-societal communication that existed on Twitter (Scientist-Journalist-Policy Makers-Public).

I think it is because a large proportion of Russians support the invasion of Ukraine and a large proportion of Russians support war-crimes.
"...anything other than his money". Influence?
#Murdoch is still arguably the most powerful peddler of #propaganda against liberal democracy, esp. within those liberal democracies (which the #PRC #china and #russia aren't very fond of).

Charles Koch is ultra religious, ultra-conservative, ultra-wealthy (#21 on Forbes billionaires, https://www.forbes.com/profile/charles-koch/?list=rtb%2F&sh=5ee80dfd57d7) & ultra-secretive.
He's honed decades of funding / cultivating far-right think tanks, academic departments, neoconservative & neoliberal organizations while maintaining a comparatively low profile.
Thus, not in the news as much as someone like Leonard Leo recently, but very dangerous & damaging nonetheless.
One of the worst. He should be discussed more than he is.

Nazis don't get a safe space. It's important to attack these terrorists on all fronts. We will attack them relentlessly on the digital front, with our packets of digital information hammering their servers

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
