@DylanRoss @apocalizzy Can't wait until you're making the real smelly stuff...

@apocalizzy it’s my first time. made a really simple farm cheese. heated up a half gallon of whole milk, added in lemon juice and cut the heat. strained and put in cheesecloth to drain. it’s now cooling in the fridge. i’m going to cover it in herbs and give it a taste.

Hi @IDoTheThinking--Thank you for your substack about the education gap for young black people in SF. Would love to talk with you about this subject area if possible? (I DM'd you but my msgs all bounce) Let me know (DM) and I can share details. Thank you!

@panamafred22 @PolyPsy_n_Prose @ArielKelley Bro, they're not sincere and have never been. They can say "state's rights!" about rights they like and "hey you can't do that!" to others. (cf. SCOTUS ruling on Roe v Wade compared to NY gun control law)
English

@noggin @PolyPsy_n_Prose @ArielKelley If they're really sincere about their "state's rights" talking point, they can't really do anything to block.
I would expect a "no comment" approach from them and just take comfort knowing many of their citizens are facing the choice of abject poverty or not getting the drug.

@panamafred22 @PolyPsy_n_Prose @ArielKelley IMO Better to win hearts and minds with at-cost insulin, courtesy of CA. I assume Red states will do everything to block.

@noggin @PolyPsy_n_Prose @ArielKelley Only to those state that agree to partner...you know they'd have blue legislatures & governors.

@panamafred22 @PolyPsy_n_Prose @ArielKelley But free commerce! /s (CA should sell it at cost to anyone who wants to buy it out of state)

@PolyPsy_n_Prose @ArielKelley Not with a congress full of Pharma Bros.

@davidshor @AOC If the goal is to ensure poor people can’t get credit at all, this’ll do it.

The loan shark prevention act, introduced by @AOC, caps credit card interest rates at 15% and was the second most popular policy we polled last year out (Prescription drug negotiation was #1) out of 113 policies tested!

Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
Capping credit card interest rates is a super-popular @BernieSanders /@AOC idea that they should talk about more and more members in swing seats should embrace. Downside is some reduced access to consumer credit, but I that’s probably not actually bad. sanders.senate.gov/press-releases…

@cactus_kate7 @davidsirota Still thinks Clinton didn't do it to herself.

@davidsirota You are one of the reasons we’re here- sit this one out.

@Beans15246421 @hoebiedoebie @bathcrest56 @IlhanMN "Children...no longer rose from their seats when an elder entered the room; they contradicted their parents, chattered before company, gobbled up the dainties at table, and committed various offences... such as crossing their legs." history.stackexchange.com/a/45976
English

@hoebiedoebie @bathcrest56 @IlhanMN It has. But not because of schools, teachers or the "system". The failure is of parents making sure their kids go to school, follow the rules, do their homework, make an effort. A large majority of problems society has is due to failed upbringing. Laziness, excuses, handouts.

So Manchin and Sinema have voted for filibuster change many times for various other bill before, but won’t do it for a voting rights bill. Got it. thehill.com/homenews/senat…
