Maryland to Become First US State to Ban Surveillance Pricing That Charges More After Mining Personal Data Maryland will become the first US state to ban surveillance pricing in retail stores, after passing Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

The good and bad of this surveillance pricing bill in Maryland, and hope for more such bills in other states:

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

#Coachella #This whole thread.

The person profiting from Coachella is a republican.

Philip Anschutz is a prominent Republican donor who has given millions to GOP causes, super PACs, and groups opposing LGBTQ+ rights, abortion, and climate action, including recent 2026 donations of $850K to anti-LGBTQ+ GOP organizations.

#Know who you hand tour money to. Consider #ConsciousConsumption.

The Coachella festival, one of the biggest pop culture phenomenons in the world, is currently occurring in California -- and pouring millions of dollars into the pockets of right-wing billionaire Phil Anschutz in the process.

Every single article I read about Madonna at Coachella mentioned that she’s 67. Not one article I read about Nine Inch Nails at Coachella mentioned that Trent’s 60.
ISN’T THAT WEIRD?
It’s almost as if everything Madonna has ever said about misogyny is true, or something. 🤷‍♂️

#Know! #This

Meanwhile, ICE has not slowed down. They are just going about it quietly, which means the violence we saw before was performative, encouraged & unnecessary.

This is a war based on lies

Stunning and pervasive. No wonder they are so "conservative". #SCOTUS

Commonwealth Court rules the state constitution includes a fundamental right to abortion • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Susan Frietsche, of the Women’s Law Project, said the Medicaid coverage exclusion was the single largest barrier to abortion access in Pa.

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

Paying for parking at the hospital is criminal.

In a nutshell. 😊

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

#California! Everystate needs to do this.

@marcelias.bsky.social is right.

We can't let up, not even for a moment, until the job is done.

✅️Impeach.
✅️Convict.
✅️Save Democracy.

The president is currently trying to steal 10 BILLION DOLLARS from the American people and it’s not the main news story in the country… not even close

CNN compilation of Trump repeatedly saying the war in Iran will end "pretty soon." If this were only a comedy skit, it might be humorous. As it is, this is tragic.

We've all seen the videos of ICE pulling people out of their cars, shooting citizens with pepper balls, and even worse killing Americans in the streets.

This is not normal. And it cannot continue.

ICE needs commonsense guardrails NOW.

Rep. Pat Ryan: "The fact that the president did not understand that closing the strait would be the obvious and immediate leverage point for the Iranians just shows how out of depth they are in initiating this war."

My (in essence, AYFKM?) response at a candidates' forum last week to an opponent's suggestion that we can't impeach and remove Donald Trump
—but somehow instead can and should pass wonderful legislation (which I support!) that will keep him from abusing his power and trashing our democracy ….

"Officers quickly arrested the man, whom the Hamtramck police identified as Donald Fields, a 48-year-old registered sex offender."

Abohatem is a #Hero.

And for $20 million you can buy the naming rights to "wife of LA Clippers owner Steve Balmer"

#LinaKahn! We meed Lina Kahn.

Supreme Court takes up another clash between religious & LGBTQ rights The Justices agreed to decide whether Colorado’s universal pre-K program must fund Catholic preschools that won’t accept kids with same-sex parents.
