He’s destroying the country and the white house

If I need to describe Ukrainians with one post, today it’s this one: it’s a train station in Dnipro, Ukraine. Or rather, it was, until Russian drones bombed it tonight. But railway workers all were in shelters, so all are safe.
And trains - well, trains continue according to the schedule.

To athletes and coaches around the world: REFUSE to come to the United States for the 2028 Olympics. Do NOT endorse what is happening in the country. Do not come. That’s how you show you are against the authoritarian takeover.

Text READY to 644-33 if you're ready to do something about it.

Grapes of Wrath. Again.

Screengrab: Key Findings Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022. Most of that amount, $59.4 billion, was paid to the federal government while the remaining $37.3 billion was paid to state and local governments. Undocumented immigrants paid federal, state, and local taxes of $8,889 per person in 2022. In other words, for every 1 million undocumented immigrants who reside in the country, public services receive $8.9 billion in additional tax revenue. More than a third of the tax dollars paid by undocumented immigrants go toward payroll taxes dedicated to funding programs that these workers are barred from accessing. Undocumented immigrants paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes, $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes, and $1.8 billion in unemployment insurance taxes in 2022. At the state and local levels, slightly less than half (46 percent, or $15.1 billion) of the tax payments made by undocumented immigrants are through sales and excise taxes levied on their purchases. Most other payments are made through property taxes, such as those levied on homeowners and renters (31 percent, or $10.4 billion), or through personal and business income taxes (21 percent, or $7.0 billion). Six states raised more than $1 billion each in tax revenue from undocumented immigrants living within their borders. Those states are California ($8.5 billion), Texas ($4.9 billion), New York ($3.1 billion), Florida ($1.8 billion), Illinois ($1.5 billion), and New Jersey ($1.3 billion). In a large majority of states (40), undocumented immigrants pay higher state and local tax rates than the top 1 percent of households living within their borders.

Someone asked me about this today, so here's some data about undocumented folks paying BILLIONS in taxes every year.

Needing to crowdfund mRNA vaccine development feels like the most American thing ever tbh

Not sure if anyone’s interested in rain.

But here it is - His Majesty, Carpathian Rain.

It’s not that I didn’t see this coming, it’s that I assumed Republicans would be more discreet about cheating their country.

But instead the GOP is just LOUDLY shitting all over the democratic fabric of this nation.

Republicans are the LEAST patriotic people 🥴

Greetings from Ukraine!

Warcoffee on the train this morning.
In an hour, we’ll reach Ivano-Frankivsk.
Can’t say I really slept, but that’s okay.

And now we have air raid siren alert on for Kyiv . Ballistic missiles threat for Kyiv and more than half of Ukraine. Explosions were reported in Kyiv region and more Russian Shahed drones coming.

I came looking for more mature words,
but found this breathtaking nature also.

It’s raining perfectly.

Ukraine is beautiful.
I want the world to see it.

I don’t know who needs to hear this , but you’re okay. You’re not too much. You’re not too complicated. You’re beautiful exactly as you are

Nancy has a town hall coming up, bring a friend or 10 and say hi!

Mourning silence has covered Kyiv.
No music in public places, no entertainment events.

Today, we honour those killed yesterday by the russian attack.
