A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Absolutely fucking not what the fuck

CBS axed its last climate reporting pillar CBS News is laying off national environmental correspondent David Schechter, reportedly leaving no one at the network dedicated to covering climate change. That means that when CBS does cover the issu...

A close-up of Renee Nicole Good smiling at the beach, wearing a hat and reflective sunglasses. Becca Good is reflected in the sunglasses, holding up her phone to take the photo.

A selfie of Renee Nicole Good and Becca Good sitting in their car, smiling and wearing matching reflective sunglasses. Reflected in their sunglasses is the car's glovebox with their son's stuffies sticking out of it.

A photo of Becca and Renee Good smiling, wearing matching purple shirts and matching sunglasses perched on top of their heads, with a wooden fence and trees in the background behind them.

Today would be Renee Good's 38th birthday. Let's never forget that Renee & Becca Good were a loving, lovely, lovable couple who should have celebrated many birthdays together.

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

Media literacy note: This woman isn’t being prosecuted “under Georgia’s abortion ban,” as some outlets claim. If that were the case, she’d be facing charges of “criminal abortion”—not murder. Any publication that prints that isn't a reliable source. More:

Chavez was known to be an absolute paranoid megalomaniac during his tenure at the UFW, & when I heard rumblings of some pretty intense allegations in the wake of Chavez Day celebrations being cancelled, I figured it might end up being something this grotesque.

Kill your heroes. Uplift the movement

And more from Dolores Huerta: "I have never identified myself as a victim, but I now understand that I am a survivor — of violence, of sexual abuse, of domineering men who saw me, and other women, as property, or things to control."

movements aren't separate from society. they are part of society. every social problem in society will be found in movements.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

tell everyone you know

An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen

This job application question feels...illegal.

always funny seeing this one come up in the wild... i made this in the bathroom of my job in 2018. however it took me another 10 months to quit that job because it is hard to take your own advice

two otters one is showing off her baby and the other is showing off a pipe with a headline that says that

being at the age where everyone you know is having children

The school is half an hour from downtown Fort Worth. Reminder that Denton, a neighboring city, voted to ban tracking 2014. The state passed a bill to limit city power over oil & gas, so the ban could not be enforced. They don't want anyone to stop them from poisoning our children.

having your city noticed by the president is now a natural disaster on par with a hurricane or major flood

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

apparently a party balloon they thought might be a drone! 🙄

No Kings includes Draft Kings

The one from Ireland, obvious religious prosecution. That side of my family was deeply Catholic with the exception of my grandmother who apparently did not feel like passing that on.

The direct ancestor who shares my last name came from England to Virginia in 1635, according to Ancestry. Another one came from Ireland in 1701. I have one who seems to appear out of thin air in 1825 Alabama and another in 1835 North Carolina. No additional records on them. :/

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

You can’t even correspond with a sexual predator anymore because woke

Looking forward to Cooking with Ghislaine on CBS Mornings in Spring 2028.

so the government’s been sitting on these files without arresting anyone because all their biggest donors are in it huh

Two years ago today, Israel executed Hind Rajab with 335 bullets.

First, they murdered her family.
Then they killed her.
Then they executed the paramedics who tried to save her.

She was only 5 years old.

“I’m so scared, please come. Come take me. Please, will you come?”

I'm looking to talk with Texans who lost a job or otherwise suffered a material loss after being arrested at a protest, esp. if your charges got dropped.

Please DM me if this happened to you!

people are always like “what link do i give to?!”

one giant pile of money is actually not a great way to help people. people choosing a variety of places to give helps keep the money moving. no one org gets flooded to the point of breaking.

a PTA, the mutual aid venmo, can move $ even faster.

This is a must-read, beautiful essay about how important PBS is to kids.

“It was a cultural life vest,” said Lawrence Sonntag, who grew up in Azle, Texas. “It felt like looking at the world’s vibrance and beauty through a straw, but that made it the most important straw.”

Those Who Try to Erase History Will Fail Montgomery shows what’s possible when museums aren’t subject to capricious executive orders.

While the Trump administration is forcing the National Park Service to remove mentions of slavery from George Washington’s house, sites like the Legacy Museum in Montgomery continue to tell the story of enslavement in a direct, uncompromised way, making clear the connection between past and present.
