if you have a problem with the student loan cancellation because you already paid off your loans, just pretend its a tax cut for the rich that you also never got but mysteriously didn't complain about.

🚨I wrote about BA.5—the latest coronavirus variant to rise to dominance—and why it matters.
This is an attempt to clearly lay out what we know about it, and to cut through the morass of misinformation that has already accumulated around it. 1/

The President & Dem leaders can no longer get away with familiar tactics of “committees” and “studies” to avoid tackling our crises head-on anymore:
- Restrain judicial review
- Open clinics on federal lands
- Court expansion
- Expand Fed access/awareness of pill abortions
- etc

Journalists: Stop calling fights over human rights culture wars.
While most Democrats support the rights of LGBTQ adults and children, they're struggling to counter a barrage of GOP attacks on LGBTQ people. With measured responses, Democrats are aiming to avoid getting caught up even more in the culture wars. apne.ws/w9cWDHv

There’s much talk these days of what being a man entails. I’m more of a man than someone like Tucker Carlson will ever be because I have experienced grave injustice yet chosen the path of compassion, truth and forgiveness. It’s a quiet strength he’ll never know.

Honored to have made another cover with @ArWoBo and Zach and @Amy4family’s husband engineering, this time of Neko Case’s A Widow’s Toast. Dex edited the video. Listen and donate! This is a elegy that soothed me. “Better times collide with now...and better times are coming still.”

If you paid $12.99 a month for an Amazon Prime membership, you paid more to Amazon than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years combined.
On this #PrimeDay, let us stand with Amazon workers. Let us demand that billionaires pay their fair share.

Someone recently told me they were in a UX writing interview and were asked, "how do you determine which metrics you use to measure the success of your copy", and they couldn't answer. So I'm going to try and repeat what I told them. THREAD.

This weekend I covered the Pixies for @qc4ac w/@ArWoBo. QC4 chooses a record, artists record a track in 4 days, then post for fundraising. This time they've raised $1400 for @NationalForests. Listen, throw in some $, link to fundraising page on the thread. vimeo.com/manage/videos/5304…

Told my scholars I might get locked out from virtual school tomorrow by CPS because I refuse to go into the building. 5 minutes later, I called on one of them and she didn’t respond.
Me: “Hey, what you up to?”
4th grader: “I’m emailing the mayor.”
😭😭❤️
