Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

Politeness is not the same as kindness.
Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow.
When the norm is politeness, people withhold disagreement and criticism. When the norm is kindness, people speak their minds respectfully.

Renewed my driver’s license and TX has no option for 2 or more races. You are forced to choose just one. As a biracial person, I felt pretty put off. The DPS clerk suggested, “white?” And me, wearing red on LNY, replied “Asian. Today’s not the day to abandon my people.”

GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety.
Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.
