Meta: I have kept a public Mastodon account since leaving the other place, and this hasn't resulted in the level of drama that a public Twitter account did. Twitter kept turning my life upside down and never made me any money, so I limit social media because I don't have time for that.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

The Republicans’ problem is that their entire health care plan has been to be against stuff: Medicare, Medicaid, Affordable Care.
Their “plans” are an incoherent grab-bag of billionaire-funded policy junk that consumers will hate. Bring it on.

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.

Perspective: US guns flood Mexico and arm cartels. If we’re blowing up boats and people because of what they’re allegedly bringing into our country, would it be acceptable for Mexico to start blowing up Americans for what we bring into theirs? That’s the logic MAGA is pushing.

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
