Direct File was free, easy, and available to millions! The brainless decision by the Trump Administration to end it will cost Americans more money just to file their taxes. This administration is interested only in padding the pockets of big business, not helping regular folks!
The Biden-era IRS free filing tool, Direct File, is “gone,” IRS Commissioner Billy Long said.

Last month, 2 out of 3 people arrested by ICE had no criminal convictions at all.
This isn’t “law and order.” This is chaos. And it puts all of our rights at risk.

ICE Is Arresting 1,100 Percent More Noncriminals on the Streets Than in 2017
The Trump administration should stop arresting people who entered legally, stripping them of their legal status, canceling asylum hearings, and prioritizing noncriminals for arrest and detention.

Remember when Trump promised to fix the economy?
-Markets diving
-Inflation rising
-Cost of living up
-Basics at all time high
Not to mention tanking our international standing and threatening Americans.
Trump is making America weaker, less safe, and more expensive.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

72.2% of America's imported oil was given a unilateral 25% price increase that will affect 100% of American households.
Eggs may not be cheaper & now gas can join them.
It's really great that the President isn't a woman of color, though.

America’s always been this racist—since the first white dude stepped ashore. For a while, they used their “inside racist voices,” and maybe you forgot. But racism has been here since day one, baked into the foundation. It’s not new, just louder again.

I feel like I haven’t had a chance to breathe since Hurricane Helene, but I think I finally figured out what I want to focus on locally:
Food forests.
My neighborhood is already a certified arboretum that has a community garden, but imagine if the streets were lined with perennial edible plants!

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.
