The Trump administration has killed IRS Direct File, the program that let you file your taxes for free. Direct File will not be operational this coming tax season.

Zohran Mamdani won young men 18-29 by 40 points.

40!

And he did so by standing FOR economic justice, FOR Trans rights, FOR immigrant rights, FOR labor rights, FOR Palestinian rights, & FOR diversityβ€”& still unapologetically dunking on Trump.

He is anti-MAGA w/o throwing people under the bus.

Cuomo’s Very Expensive Nosedive This one weird trick just stopped oligarchy in New York City.

πŸ’₯ Billionaires spent tens of millions to buy NYC’s mayoral race for Andrew Cuomo.
A 34-year-old democratic socialist beat them anyway.

This is how you break oligarchy. πŸ‘‡

So if open enrollment already feels too expensive, that’s the story: record profits at the top, political sabotage of subsidies, and no public option to hold prices down. That’s why this moment matters.

Kalen Dion ❀ @Kalendionpoetry
When someone would slander me, or mistreat me, misrepresent who I was, belittle me, shame me, or attack me; I would often internalize it. I would take it on as if it was a reflection of my character. I didn't have that wall of self-esteem which kept my circumstances from becoming my identity. I would absorb every harsh critique and allow it to affect my self worth. And it caused self-loathing. And that caused self-destructive behavior. Even when I understood that it was false. Even when I knew that it was bullshit.
It took me a long time and a lot of unnecessary suffering to figure this out...
When someone lies about your worth, don't you believe it. Don't you dare. Ever. Believe it .

Off the charts projection from Christian nationalists who want prayer in schools, mix religion & state, & have Govt based on Christianity rather than the Constitution. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

The Democratic Party is spineless.

It’s damn near a year after the party got blown out by the Republicans and the party still can’t even commit to Medicare for All, despite over 80% of Democratic voters supporting it.

In fact, the party still doesn’t have a platform!

New ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting.

Recruits have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards.

Some were dismissed because ICE training leaders learned that they had pending criminal charges.
