This is the best explanation of the debt ceiling I’ve seen. From #PublicNotice

“The debt ceiling is an arbitrary and outmoded legislative construct. It limits the amount the federal government can borrow to pay debts it has already incurred. It's like if you put $300 on your credit card and then passed a law saying you were only allowed to pay off $200. And then loudly proclaimed that the law was necessary to prevent out of control spending.”

"How Twitter became a haven for climate misinformation" by @atrupar & @thorbenson for #PublicNotice (via @substackinc) https://www.publicnotice.co/p/twitter-climate-disinformation-musk-michael-mann

Absolutely love this from #PublicNotice

“And just last week, a Wyoming district court judge blocked that state’s abortion ban. Why? Because in 2012, the state’s voters passed a constitutional amendment stating that citizens have the right to make their own health care decisions...” This amendment was passed so that Wyoming citizens didn’t have to enroll in the Affordable Care Act, but now its existence is tripping up anti-choice forces in the state.“

In #PublicNotice, I wrote about #Trump's hush money #payments, which were intended to subvert #democracy
And were successful; silencing critics and those with info about his past helped him win the nomination and the general election.

#MTG "hopes to drape her ugly white supremacy in a supposedly less ugly regional pride."

Not that I've been on here much this week, but I'll be mostly out of pocket for the next 3 - 4 days. We're going to a funeral out of town, and it'll be a bit chaotic; the funeral is in New Orleans on Saturday, which is Mardi Gras weekend...

But, I'll get to see some old friends, take in some festivities, and decompress a bit. And we won't be rushed, which is nice.

Don't let the place burn down while I'm gone.

So enlightening.

Interview with #ParkerMolloy on the mainstream media's anti-trans bias
#AaronRupar #PublicNotice #NoahBerlatsky

“I was sick of seeing stories that were like, ‘A strangely dressed man was found dead in a local pond.’ That’s how they would refer to #TransWomen in a lot of these stories. They would #misgender people. And it was a case where people couldn’t speak up for themselves and couldn't fight back.”
