remember when the IRS put out a a free online tax filing system where you could just do your taxes through the IRS and it was actually well made and was pretty well recieved and then the tax filing industry and Republicans killed it and now you have to use TurboTax again
we can just stop doing bad things. we don't have to do bad things.

Dropkick Murphys finish up their set at a benefit show across from Alex Pretti Memorial: “We’ll never forget what we saw with our own eyes, we’ll never forget what we’ve seen here today. thank we’ve seen here today. Thank you all for allowing us to come bear witness with you, thank you Minnesota!”.
$2 billion a day for this war.
No money for schools, healthcare, libraries, state universities, housing assistance, child care, public transit, infrastructure repairs, investment in science, USAID. No money for anything that makes our citizens' lives better, but endless money to kill people.
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

This is what happens when your entire political movement and governing principles are based in grievance politics.
Does this assume Mayer breaks camp with Boston? Cora’s comments about him are odd.
For $1 billion a day we could add enough solar panels to double the generating capacity of the US grid in less than five years.
Something kinda good out of the Utah legislature for once? Can it survive a full vote though?
Fuck the troops.
On the one hand, the presidency is a fundamentally broken institution.
On the other hand, Congress is a fundamentally broken institution.
On the third hand, the Supreme Court is a fundamentally broken institution.

I never felt hurt by the church but it certainly never aligned comfortably with my personal morals and then when I found out it was factually and historically disprovable (for me) I was quickly done (internally, actually leaving the Mormon church takes time for most people)
This makes sense. I’ve been out for 15-20 years and I do miss the feeling of awe and reverence that comes with religion and have had to find ways to replace it. It’s weird for me to think now but I miss the music! I’m not remotely musical but I realized a few years ago that it made me feel things

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism.

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:
