Easy call to action: Congress passed the 340B program to let hospitals buy medications at deep discounts for low income patients.
Hospitals are instead charging full price, defeating the point & exploiting patients. Sign to demand Congress pass "340B ACCESS Act" to stop this abuse: bit.ly/3KaNUns
BREAKING: Senate confirms 48 of Trumpβs nominees at once after changing the chamberβs rules
This is exactly why I was screaming at Biden and Senate Dems to abolish the Jim Crow filibuster and pass the legislation that the American people wanted and deserved. But feckless leadership was so beholden to "norms" they refused.
We knew the GOP would do this. And now they've done it. And Schumer is still pointing at an irrelevant rule book of norms. smh
The Senate voted to confirm 48 of President Donald Trump's nominees in a bloc after the Republican majority triggered the "nuclear option" to make a far-reaching rule change.
True, but. If they had done it, there would be no reason to believe it had been successful, and would have drawn criticism as being inflammatory and an overreaction.
The most consistently successful game strategy is to play tit-for-tat only after giving other players the benefit of the doubt.
Hello. The regular order in gov't is in chambles. The Senate was never meant to operate like this. It's basically the House now, but with even more arrogant, entitled, and corrupt politicians beholden only to their donors. Thank you Justice Roberts for deciding corporations are individuals. I don't know how this gets fixed. We have hold out hope that elections still matter! Take care
Oof, good day #today for the most part, kinda interesting actually, had half dozen flat packed shippers for Dr Pepper that I delivered to the local bottling plant, that was new. Feet are really sore though, my boots are wearing out, time for new ones. I'm getting tired of spending about $100 every 6 mos. or so, so I could use some recommendations, what I do is basically the same thing as UPS or FedEx, and I want either more durable boots or repairable, maybe Red Wing? #boots #delivery #driver
If you still have an account on academia.edu, you should probably delete it.
I'm not sure how their new terms are legal: they give the site the right to use your data *in any manner*. This is mainly to help them scrape academic work and republish/mangle parts of it through AI without credit: but these terms go way beyond that into your likeness, your voice, even your signature.
Please boost this to academics you know. Further PSA elements in thread:
Further PSA 1, how to do account deletion on Academia.edu without agreeing to the new terms of service on the way:
If you want to delete your account, open academia.edu, do NOT click accept to the new terms, but instead click "privacy policy". You can then go to the top left dropdown menu with your name on it, click "account settings", scroll to the bottom of the page, and there's the account deletion option. You can even leave them a little note if you want though I doubt they'll read it.
1) their new TOS are "irrevocable" and "transferable", and explicitly include the use of your name, likeness, photo and voice "for any purpose."
They could literally make you the new spokesperson for neo-nazis, or chicken mcnuggets, under those terms.
2) someone here says that Academia.edu has already sent out emails purporting to be from them, urging folks to join academia.edu or whatever. One went to a leading figure in the person's field.
The image shows two tweets side by side on a black background. The first tweet, from a user named "matt" with the handle "[@]mattxiv," reads: "There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to join in doesnβt make anyone a bad person. Itβs a choice to write an obituary that begins 'Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.'" The second tweet, from "The Nation" with the handle "[@]thenation," states: "Charlie Kirk was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct." The tweet from The Nation includes a timestamp of "9:44 PM Β· 9/12/25" and has "465K Views." The layout is simple, with the tweets in white text boxes against a black background, and the user handles and timestamps in smaller text.

The image features a screenshot from a news broadcast, specifically from "The Megyn Kelly Show," with a woman in a red turtleneck speaking. The text overlay includes a quote from Megyn Kelly paying tribute to Charlie Kirk, discussing the divisive impact of former President Obama. Below the quote, there are two tweets. The first tweet by John Harwood ([@]JohnJHarwood) criticizes Obama for winning two presidential elections, implying it caused a traumatic brain injury to white racists. The second tweet by Evan DeSimone ([@]Smorgasboredom) praises Megyn Kelly for stating that having a black president made everyone "insane," calling it a "cogent diagnosis of the American Right." The image also includes the logos of "The Megyn Kelly Show" and "The Resistance."

Here in Florida, when the governor went after Disney for free speech, Democrats, liberals, the left, and people across the country stood up for the corporation and loudly pushed back against fascism.
Yesterday, @disney sold all those people out and instead threw their Mickey Mouse hat in with the fascist government.
Disney is the Senator John Fetterman of companies. - Jim Wright
WASHINGTONβWith the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American people wouldnβt notice them.
The image shows a series of three tweets from a user named "ally" with the handle "[@]missmayne," posted within the last day. Each tweet addresses the high costs of essential services and the disparity in wages for those providing these services.
The first tweet criticizes the high cost of nursing homes, which can bankrupt grandparents, while nursing home aides struggle to make ends meet, often relying on food banks. It highlights the disparity between the high cost of care and the low wages of those providing it.
The second tweet discusses the high cost of daycare, which consumes a parent's entire paycheck, while daycare providers earn only $10 per hour and often need to take on second jobs to make ends meet.
The third tweet points out the high cost of college, which puts students into debt for life, while professors often live in their cars, suggesting a disconnect between the high cost of education and the modest wages of educators.
Each tweet includes engagement metrics such as the number of replies, retweets, and likes, indicating the level of interaction and interest from other users. The tweets are accompanied by a profile picture of a woman in a headscarf, adding a personal touch to the messages.

Well, until Colbert's network decides to just not air him as well, as a way of getting out of their contract. I doubt the talent would've foreseen "you pay me this for this number of years, and, yes, while you're paying me, you will actually air my show."
The image features a dark, textured background with a subtle, abstract pattern. In the center, there is white text that reads: "The day they handed out patience, I left... it was taking too long." Below the main text, in smaller font, is the phrase "Bold perspectives." The overall design is simple, with the text being the focal point against the dark background. The image conveys a message about impatience, using a humorous tone.

Front page of #TheNational displays Trump and Epstein after arrests
The National's front page today asks a big question: Is it a #crime to share a picture of Jeffrey #Epstein and Donald #Trump?
The #newspaper published the photograph as it questioned police actions during Trump's state visit this week.
The focus of the front page is the arrests of four people, after the images of US president Donald Trump and paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto Windsor Castle
