As tax season approaches, I’m again spreading the word that FreeTaxUSA is possibly an option for some folks here. I filed my federal & state (PA) taxes free with them this year and for the last several years. While it won’t be an option for everyone’s situation, it’s worth checking out! #taxes

Immigrants don't steal jobs. There's piles and piles of research on this. But even if it wasn't a xenophobic myth, I'd still rather lose my job to an immigrant than to AI. Immigrants gotta eat. Gotta pay bills. I get it. Can't be mad about that. They're part of our communities, too. But AI isn't.

Some warehouse owners have even backed out of sales after learning how the properties might be used. It feels like something bigger is unfolding, and it doesn’t sit right. Please pay attention. Why would this many warehouses be needed to hold people?

We just shared the link from NBC about three warehouses being bought to house immigrants, but it now looks like we seriously underreported how many are being purchased. Based on information many of you have shared, the number appears to be over 26.

It's true it seems, with no warning or explanation CIA simply discontinued and removed the World Factbook this week. I imagine they'd say we have wikipedia now wo who needs it, but check the footnotes and see how many wiki entries get their data from the CIA factbook. Lots.

just a comic about society-wide burnout, depression, and isolation
A group of quiet gray nondescript people sit on a bench, all looking down, their hands held in various positions of distress and anxiety. In the second panel, the one in the middle speaks up - “We're all... here... right?” “I think we're here together...” “... I think we all want to scream for help...”We zoom in on the talking middle person as the others try to avoid looking at them, the person continuing, “But we know we're all here... And if we need help, so does everyone else... We want to help, I think”... in the second panel the face is zoomed in completely but layered over images of colorful bright happier people helping their loved ones – one cooks for a sick friend, an abled person is sweeping up for a person in a wheelchair, two are hugging as one cries, and one is a person painting a fence.... “I think we fantasize about all the ways we wish we could help the people we love...” “All the ways we could be there if we weren't so broken, so tired, so numb...” “... Then we swim in the guilt of not doing any  of those things...” “... Because we need help too... but there's no one we can ask... because we know they need it more” “... We're all... HERE... right?”
The gray middle person looks to their side as the others stay silent, the room darkening around them as they wait. In the last, they look even more alone as they speak, “... It's okay. I know you're too tired to answer” “... I'm here too” “... I get it...”
