Was reading the Narrative of Sojourner Truth today. Heartbreaking stories of Isabella and Ned told briefly here. This is the sort of history that is banned in Florida now, I suppose. Remember Ron DeSantis saying that slavery was a great opportunity? #books #writing

On Thursday, the CFPB issued a final rule that will regulate digital payment apps that process over 50 million transactions each year, covering services like Apple Pay, Google Wallet, PayPal, Cash App, and others.

The new rule is meant to ensure digital payment providers adhere to the same laws as credit unions and large banks.

MAD IDEA: Biden pardons all undocumented immigrants. It would be an official act, he's immune from... apparently ANYTHING.

Supreme Court wanna set a legal precedence by over-turning it??

Great. Good!

Now let's see how Trump does pardoning 1000+ fucking insurrectionist traitors as he promised.

That's just one example. There's a lot of smart fuckery that could be done that might actually be helpful down the road.

Mark Milley disagrees with Trump pick on women in combat

“Don’t lecture me about women in combat,” Milley said at a national security innovation event hosted by the Pallas Foundation. “Women have been in combat, and it doesn't matter if that 7.62 [caliber round] hits you in the chest.

"Dr" Oz in charge of Medicare and Medicaid. A pro wrestling entrepreneur as Secretary of Education. Matt Fucking Gaetz for AG. This mfucker is not serious about governing.

Stacey Abrams has a podcast called "Assembly Required". I highly recommend a listen, especially to her most recent episodes, if you are looking for ways and tools to organize and #insist. New episodes on Thursday mornings, and I'll be listening first thing in the morning.

If you are unfamiliar with Stacey Abrams, you should become familiar. She's done so much for this country.

overheard: Amazing that we’re possibly on track to have an entire government that probably shouldn’t be allowed within 100 feet of a school.

@Tacitus_Kilgore Very few. When you’re really ready to hear from the ICE Director under Biden predict what Trump will be with mass deportations (1 mil) in his first 100 days, worth the listen.
