This is a great idea -- price fixing by algorithm is still price fixing but with plausible deniability.

We should not let landlords collude to raise rents, especially in the midst of a nationwide housing crisis.

If anyone has time to talk with me about their ACA increases and how they're coping, please shoot an email to wwimbish@prospect.org or text on Signal at wwimbish.07.

It's OK if you want to only use your first name or prefer to be anonymous!

I originally took bubropion for ADHD, which didn't really work, but a nice side effect is that I haven't had a cigarette in years. Just FYI!

Assembly to vote on bill blocking SNAP recipients from buying candy, soft drinks and energy drinks Republicans in the Wisconsin Assembly are holding a vote on a bill preventing SNAP recipients from using their benefits to purchase candy, soft drinks and energy drinks.

We should not be telling people on FoodShare/SNAP what they can or can't buy for their families. Especially not now, as the Trump Administration is threatening to claw back November's benefits, out of spite.

This bill is badly written, mean, and terrible policy.

Chicago Trib on teenage anti-ICE activists: "If I get the opportunity to fight like this for the rest of my life, I would be totally OK with that."

The future of our country depends, in part, upon whether the Democratic Party does or does not have space for young people like that.

Chiropractors are bad. I do not care if you've had a good experience with one. It's dangerous bullshit and has been since its inception.

We should not take their advice seriously, and they should not have an influence on policymaking in Wisconsin, or anywhere. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8lL...

Lots of dumb stuff going through the Crapitol this week but a bill punishing people on FoodShare/SNAP that's endorsed by *chiropractors* and *naturopathic doctors* (neither of which are medical doctors) is specifically really fucking annoying *to me*. www.wpr.org/news/assembl...

Even worse: charter schools and voucher schools (in Wisconsin, at least!) can pick and choose which students they accept, even expelling kids with special needs.

That puts the cost back on public schools -- who are only reimbursed around 42.5% of the cost.

It's a failed, unaccountable system.

This was very obviously inevitable, fro the jump. But Republicans don’t care about safety, they care about stoking fear and maintaining order, with them in charge. That only sometimes has anything to do with β€œfighting crime.” bsky.app/profile/dell...

Sorry but if you think law enforcement isn’t mostly giddy to collaborate with ICE, you’re a mark.

So long as there are cops, and they are well-funded at the expense of actual services, this is what they will do. Defund the police is the moderate position.

Dems concede based on norms and (naively!) trying to avoid future conflict *way too much* as we all know. In the context of an unrestrained executive, and an OMB director clearly willing to obey his instructions... why give the Republicans *anything* during negotiations without addressing *that*?
