“…flowers, always…”
Monet refused to leave Giverny, even through illness. “What I need most are flowers, always,” he said— and so he stayed, painting the life that bloomed just beyond his window.

I’m re-upping this because we need to focus.No country should allow masked enforcement officers to terrorize communities. But this country’s history makes this practice ESPECIALLY repugnant. So long as we allow anonymity & impunity there will be brutality.

Have you looked at why RiteAid and thousands of independent pharmacies went out of business, and Walgreens was broke before being bought ? Do you understand who creates the horrific economics for non captive pharmacies ? Of course you don't.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Why is President Trump pardoning the former president of Honduras — a convicted international cocaine trafficker? How is this in the national interest?
The president claims the prosecution was a ‘witch hunt,’ but that’s false.
When pardons are misused, we erode the rule of law itself.

I can't speak to this more practically, but you should not use TurboTax for a myriad of reasons (including they lobby to make it so you can't do taxes easily without them). Not everyone can afford to use an accountant (or needs one) but TaxSlayer is fine.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Let's be clear: Trump has the funding to keep SNAP running. He's choosing not to.
There's even a Republican-led bill to fund SNAP with broad Democratic support. Republican leaders won't let us vote on it.
Deliberately choosing to let families starve is as vindictive as it gets.
