taxes. did not think it was going to take me all day, but looks like it might.

I have a big spreadsheet I update from year to year (for the last few years) since not much changes since I last used a service. I actually like doing it myself now.

I'll probably have someone prepare my taxes sometime in next few years, so I can find out what I've been doing wrong and update my spreadsheet 😆

and this year it looks like I will actually have to fill out paper forms and mail them in. I did a contrib to an IRA that looks like knocks me out of eligibility for DirectFile.

and yeah I do NOT want to be funding this current regime, but...

I used to hate when dignitaries came on base. I hated being in a forced photo op. Often, we were told to be enthusiastic and welcoming.

Remember, the Vance's in Greenland were before a crowd of people that were essentially ordered to be there and nudged to be enthusiastic. #USPol

People across the country are fed up with both parties bowing down to billionaires. They want to tax the rich now. They want to keep Social Security and expand Medicare. They are sick and tired of corporate greed running rampant in our policy-making.
In a democracy, power should be in the hands of workers, community members, and democratically accountable representatives—not billionaires who are trying to enrich themselves at our expense. —Rashida Tlaib, congresswoman. #USPol #USPolitics #politics #democracy #Billionaires #TaxBillionaires #equity #ClassWar #PowerToThePeople

Soziale Unruhen in den USA in 3...2...1...
Wenn sowas in angeblich ein paar Monaten umgeschrieben werden soll, wird sicherlich dort bald gar nix mehr funktionieren. Wenn hier ähnliches mit unserer Rentenversicherung passieren würde, wäre das ein valider Grund für die Leistungsbezieher, Amok zu laufen. Aber so wie ich das Trumpeltier verstehe, will er eh alles kaputtmachen um dann von Null anzufangen. Der Plan ist aber alles andere als genial. #uspol

DeSantis, who leads the nation in immigration enforcement lies, found a way to fill the essential jobs of immigrant WKRs targeted for deportation.

The bill progressed this week thru the R-dominated st senate seeks to remove numerous existing protections for teenage workers, & allow them to be the cheap labor. Children, as young as 14, could soon be allowed to work overnight shifts w/o a break💔. It may become the law in FL.

Look, who hasn’t taken their wives into a highly classified, national security meeting, we’ve all done it. I mean she’s a journalist, what could go wrong.. it makes sense to have a journalist in the meeting rather than including them in a WhatsApp group and message then after, it just saves time/

I've been told USC alumni span the globe

I wonder how many will rise up now

USC tries to rebrand racism as "community"

LAist: In a message to students, faculty, staff & alumni, the uni said it’s rebranding its DEI efforts as “Community,” in part bc DEI “has evolved to encompass so many interpretations” & become “embroiled in broader cultural & political disagreements.” The uni also said this decision was fueled by recent federal guidance.
