📣 IMPORTANT: If you're on an ACA plan and you expect to earn *slightly* over 400% of the Federal Poverty Level next year ($62,600 for 1 person/ $128,600 for a family of 4), there are PERFECTLY LEGAL WAYS of getting your MAGI income below that threshold in order to qualify for federal tax credits.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.

Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers
Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

Senate Republicans have just moved to proceed to the "big beautiful bill," which would cause the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history while simultaneously cutting taxes for the richest Americans.

Thread on the process to follow.

New investigation: After Oregon invested $20m for drug addiction services, counties spent the funds on prosecutors, sheriffs, police gadgets + cars.

I got records revealing how law enforcement used $ meant for treatment, as providers face major cuts + patients are stuck on waiting lists to get help
Revealed: Oregon spent funds meant for addiction services on prosecutors and police gadgets
As the state abandons decriminalization, treatment grants are going to sheriffs and district attorneys: ‘that might be two or three case managers’

In 1995, divers near the Ryukyu Islands off Japan spotted these elaborate mandala-like art in the sand of the ocean's floor.

They were elaborate 2 meter wide sculptures with fluting, shell ornaments placed at ridges, sand sorted by granularity, both consistent in design & unique.

fwiw a ban on trans athletes is wrong if there are 0 trans athletes, 5 trans athletes, or 79 million trans athletes

i dont like the framing that the bans are wrong because there arent very many trans people.

black people are "only" 13% of the population that doesnt make jim crow cool

Paging you @repbynum.bsky.social ! You need to make up for this travesty and fast
12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime.

As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

The slope isn't slippery; the frog isn't gradually getting boiled. Within its first hundred days the Trump administration has openly asserted the right/ power to seize and imprison anyone— including political dissidents, including citizens— and deprive them of any legal recourse at all.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."

But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.
