The White House is hiding a report about your taxes until after you vote. Each year the IRS publishes data on what people at every income level deducted and owed. This version is the first look at the GOP tax law from 2025. It was expected in July. It’s October. Full story at link in comments ⬇️

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social concrete jungles trap heat, but nature-based solutions are our best defence against extreme temperatures! Urban greening (like street trees, green roofs & parks) cools our neighbourhoods through shade & evapotranspiration—essentially how plants "sweat" to cool the air 🌳 #LBC
An educational infographic titled "URBAN TREES, COOLER CITIES." The graphic features a cross-section diagram of a city skyline transitioning from concrete skyscrapers into a suburban area heavily populated with trees. A curved temperature arc rises sharply over the high-density buildings and drops down over the forested area. Text callouts highlight how heat reflects off bare buildings, while urban trees provide shade, create cooler cities, and decrease heat-related deaths.
