this is like -the- only genuine advice you will ever get from me. but if u are early in your 20s please dont make the same mistake i did by using turbotax for years. ur throwing money away and they keep ur tax info HOSTAGE lmfao.

i use freetaxusa and its awesome and i pay like, nothing lol.
Just a PSA for people, FreeTaxUSA is an excellent tool for filing taxes. Do not, I repeat, do not give your money to TurboTax. They lobby congress to keep tax filings difficult and inflate their prices to make it more expensive.

FreeTaxUSA.com is about as good as it gets today.

It passed. Be careful if you ever visit Kansas. Call your representatives. There'll be more of this spreading to other states.
Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House.

They have rushed it to the Senate for passage.

If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk.

Live here.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

Please continue to contact your representatives and urge them to:

-oppose age verification laws
-rescind existing AV laws
-protect peoples rights to use VPNs
-protect section 230
The failure of age-verification laws is now turning into a War on VPNs. The British government and a number of US states are now proposing that VPNs be banned entirely, or only accessible to those who have surrendered to facial scans, ID check and other identity verification.
'The UK war on VPNs is an embarrassment' – backlash grows over proposed VPN age-checks
Critics are warning against proposals to restrict VPN access — but will the plans actually become law?

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

Y’all they were still scouting school bus stops this morning in the burbs, stalking restaurant workers in Minneapolis and abducting our neighbors. As far as I’m concerned nothing’s changed.
People power got Bovino out of Minnesota, but ICE is still here, and people are still being targeted and taken.

The observers, the food deliveries, the school patrols, everyone organizing–the shift in tactics by the Trump admin is only happening because of you.

This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.
Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”
House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too
“The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

Did you know that asylum seekers in ICE detention are required to find their own translators?

If you speak English and another language, especially Spanish,
Mandarin, Arabic, Hindi, Punjabi,
Dari, Pashto, Vietnamese, you can help people in ICE custody (link in next post)

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Shut it all down. All of it. ICE, DHS, Border Patrol, the entire Republican Party, all the fascist billionaires, X, Tesla, Avelo, and every Democrat who supports them.

It's evil through and through.

Please do try to take care of yourself. No matter how hard it gets.

If not for yourself, then for the people who love you. Whether they're here or gone. They love you and want you to be cared for. That will never change.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
