"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Note-“this happened the first term”. I keep saying that to people. We didn’t do enough the first time. It’s worse now.
What do you guys think? IRS is running out of office supplies. Would you donate to a go fund me for Fed Workers to get the supplies to work?
Trump did this to the IRS the first term. We had to buy our own supplies. All procurement cards have been reduced to 1 dollar limit.
IRS is feeling bitter.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.
The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.
This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Dems just wanna be friends. They aren’t in this for us
We are getting a LOT of messages asking "why say the Democratic Senators need to be pressured, aren't they doing everything they can?"
No, they are not. Not close.
Democrats in the Senate are going along with what Republican Senators want, because they want to be buddy-buddy with those R's. 1/2

Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing?
Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social

Trump signed executive orders to expand logging on public lands while bypassing environmental protections. His “energy emergency” declaration lets him override regulations entirely.

Actually I think they will try to BUY out farmers. Seller land. Then we will have food shortages while they make money off us and the land.
TRUMP: "Tomorrow, 25 percent tariffs on Canada Mexico.”
Start the countdown to the next farmer bailout. Matter of time. ⏰ #Trumpcession
