I want to scream at my neighbor for being so gullible and believing that the 💩 show Address to Congress last night was, “so inspiring”. Instead I gently teach and give facts, but to no beneficial end. But I’ll call my representatives again today to cry, complain, and ask for help. HELP!

Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

On the day TFG won, my heart broke for Ukraine and its brave people. I knew the shitstorm was coming. Ukraine fought so NATO would not have to. Their hardships prevented us from losing our sons and brothers. Yet here we are, with TFG expecting Zelenskyy to be grateful to us??? Slava Ukraini 😭😭😭

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

A kind, hard-working, always upbeat man who works in my retirement community received his American citizenship! I congratulated him. I told him what he did was hard but his perseverance was remarkable. Some people still believe in the American dream. I hope it’s still there…

@rbreich.bsky.social: “For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

Another day, another reason to hope and fight for a better world for our kids (grandkids too). Resist. Follow the lead of @altnps.bsky.social and follow any instructions they give us as civilians. We can do so much but it takes all of us!

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

There are 3M govt employees (non-military), what happens to US economy when 10% or more are laid off?

USAID has its flaws, like any govt agency, & they shud be fixed. But it's the backbone of US "soft power", helping billions with hunger, HIV, disaster relief & more. It also makes up a small % of our GDP compared to others. Weakening it only paves the way for China to expand its global influence
