Went into gory detail breaking down the potential impact of the reconciliation bill on student debtors and the field of higher education more broadly. Part of the larger war on working people that we (as ever and even more urgently) need to connect to wars abroad. newrepublic.com/article/1970...

What I really hate about literally everything with this administration and it's bullshit right now is that nothing, NONE OF IT, is for any real reason. Just dismantling shit and blowing up shit just cause. And that makes me furious at the people who thought letting this fool back in office was ok.

honestly, it feels insane to see people treating the court order to resume processing passports correctly as a guaranteed thing. the administration has consistently defied the courts, so why would this be any different

Hey quick question for the state, If you're not going to respect the laws and elected officials you keep telling people are the only way to make change, what's your plan for when people realize that 1) they're going to have to try something else and 2) there's more of them than there are of you?

hi, cis folks! the senate budget bill is out & this version still contains a prohibition against lifesaving trans healthcare for medicaid/CHIP—that's 275,000 people! if you're willing to stand with trans folks, please call your senators—no matter who. follow the thread for context & scripts.🧵

decided to listen to Turnstile’s Time & Space this morning and I’ve really got to say, the sonic leaps they’ve made in the last 7? years are UNPARALLELED. no one is doing it like them, and no one HAS been doing it like them

why would I ever spend any of my academic life taking "ai" seriously (as subject). why should I. why should it be the focus of my work, my thinking, my artistic production? what are we doing here? turning from the entire world to a narrowest slice of simulacrum? are we serious?

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

Everybody's talking about AI. In comics circles, the use of artificial intelligence remains controversial. #ComicsStudies can play a vital role in questioning the cultural, ethical, and labour implications of AI. We are calling you: comicsandai.org/call-for-pap...

Low-income Marketplace insurance plans (such as those in the NY State Marketplace) follow medicaid & medicare guidelines in exchange for funding/subsidies - if HRT is banned for Medicaid, hundreds of thousands more will lose care as insurance companies follow suit - it is intentional

It's cruel. It's an incredible escalation of their anti-trans culture war. And there is still a chance to stop the provision in the Senate, so if you have a trans person in your life you care about, I implore you - make your voice heard with your Senators. Both of them. Republican OR Democrat.
