The irony is that refugees around the world give up everything for freedom and a better life. My sacrifice is pausing my Amazon. I believe we Americans can step up our game a bit.

I "paused" my Amazon Subscription today. Aren't I brave? The only real power that I have is how my money is spent. It's time the giant corporations rein in this mad man. It's time to shut the economic engine down until "we the people" have a voice. What else can I boycott? Taxes?

Who actually made the Trump fighter jet video? Did Trump make it? Did Trump actually press the "share/post" video himself? Is this kind of thinking really inside of his head? @asmrepublicans.bsky.social

SPOCK: To put it simply. And it has acted as a catalyst, creating this situation in order to satisfy that need. It has brought together opposing forces, provided crude instruments in an effort to promote the most violent mode of conflict.

KIRK: It exists on the hate of others.

Star Trek Episode "Day of the Dove" where an alien makes Enterprise crew fight Klingons and feeds off of their anger. The two sides defeat the alien by laughing together at it, making it go away. Makes me think of another creature that thrives on our conflict, and needs to be laughed away.

U.S. Troops out of California

Death Valley National Park.

Here's my protest starting at 1:30
Shout out to Chico, Ca residents and neighboring communities...we'll see you there.

I am glad #California Assembly Republicans and Democrats are both using Blue Sky. I don't trust X/Twitter. I hope Blue Sky does not become an echo chamber.

They ganged up on him.

According to ChatGTP, if late on your taxes: File Return Anyway to avoid failure-to-file penalty.
Set Up Payment Plan-The IRS offers installment agreements. Request Extension-You can apply for a short-term delay. Contact the IRS – In some cases, penalties can be reduced for reasonable cause.

What would happen if a lot of people delayed paying their federal income taxes? Would it have any impact on the government? Are the penalties worth making the political statement? Asking for a friend.
