"Spotify’s CEO is now a billionaire but it takes artists 334 streams to make $1. The company just enacted a plan to completely demonetize smaller artists. Under the new policy, tracks that get under a certain threshold of annual streams will receive no money from the company. Groups like United Musicians and Allied Workers (ig: weareumaw) are fighting to save their industry."

I look forward to hearing President Trump explain to us how "everyone wanted" trans people to be put in concentration camps, how "everyone wanted" marriages like mine to be dissolved, how "everyone wanted" an end to birth control and IVF, and how "everyone wanted" him to order US troops to shoot protesters. threads.net/@bidenharrishq/pos

I’m old enough to remember when some of us said the GOP wants us living in the Handmaid’s Tale world, and men told us we were “overreacting”.

Hey MAGAts. Tell us how tanking this legislation is such a good deal for the country. President Biden has proposed a worthwhile option for the border and TFG is instructing his minions in Congress to harm America by not collaborating in Washington which is what Americans pay them to do, legislate! Not a good look for this election cycle, you obstructionists! ImmigrationReform

Funny how wealthy Americans will readily accuse Biden of “buying votes” with student debt forgiveness but had no issue with Trump signing massive tax cuts for themselves. Hello?

The Southwest Airlines checked baggage line was ridiculously long at the Austin airport today. It stretched outside to the rental car building and then zig-zagged around inside. Total time: about 2.5 hrs or so

The state of abortion rights in the U.S. unequivocally demonstrates that women are second class citizens. All the orange and tan states deny women autonomy over their own bodies, the most basic element of liberty. The federal government permits this. I’m angry and heavy-hearted. #abortion #patriarchy #misogyny

“People are dying, cities are being destroyed […] [Mike Johnson’s] decision to save his job is losing a war […] He is the main protagonist in the most shameful episode in American foreign policy in two generations.”

Because of Arizona’s horrendous abortion ruling today, every event planner I know is going to cross another state off their list of “places we can hold conferences and offsites that support emergency healthcare procedures if they arise with any of our employees while they are there”.

There is no middle ground on the basic right to abortion care. Either you believe women should control their own bodies, or you believe the government should control women's bodies. That's it. Anti-choice hypocrites want us to believe it's murky, but it's not. It's that simple.

Good morning! The clouds are thick this morning, but it's 60F at 8 am, which is wonderful. Over the winter I forget how nice it is to just walk outside without a coat. Freedom!

Last night was the first night this season that the tree frogs were singing. That is a sure sign of spring that is always a welcome surprise after a silent winter.

Despite the heavy clouds I'm determined to enjoy some time outside before rain moves in tomorrow. I hope you enjoy your Wednesday as well.
