honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.

Republicans just f*cked D.C.’s tax-filing season. City leaders could fight back.
Congress' repeal of a D.C tax bill will cost the city more than $600 million in revenue.

NEWS: As expected, the Senate has approved a resolution repealing the D.C. tax decoupling bill, following the House's lead earlier this week. The Senate vote was 49-47, fully along party lines.

oh shit!!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
Today @chmnmendelson.bsky.social announced that the 30-day congressional review period, during which a D.C. bill can be repealed, actually wrapped up last night. That means, per his office, that the D.C. tax decoupling bill is the law of the land, and can't be repealed by Congress.

not to harp on this again but one time i went to ask a question to a vp after an all staff and i had to wait and when i finally had a chance to speak I messed up a word out of nervousness and then the vp commented on the word mess up before answering and it's like Why Must You Do That
the thing is i’m not like opposed but i become incapable of forming sentences and lose entire words when i am speaking with the people who will probably be on the management side of this so i don’t want to screw things up that way

I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis.
It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.
The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0

Used to be in a large fb group for managing life after eye surgery bc of the [relatively minor] complications the surgery for macular degeneration gave me. That group was dominated by intense LASIK regret w/ a shockingly high suicide rate yet I never see arguments for legislating against eye surgery
