A tired nerd.

The GOP is literally proposing we pay a tax just to file our taxes.
For a party that constantly rails against taxes, they’re getting pretty creative at squeezing more money from Americans without having to call it a tax.

'I don't care about Direct File': IRS chief says agency plans to end free filing program

Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Bill Long said the agency will end its Direct File program.

CNBC

ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement.

Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree.

It's a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.

Trump isn’t an accident, he’s the inevitable product of #capitalism. When a society prioritizes wealth, growth, and spectacle over community and sustainability, he was bound to emerge. He mastered attention and outrage as forms of currency, where dominating the narrative is more valuable than leading with integrity.
Without fundamental changes to how we distribute power and define “success”, we’ll keep creating more people like him or worse.

Picked up a few from my favorite bottle shop. Exited for the 15% Crow & Wolf Eye of the Familiar! Anyone try any of these?
Just cracked open the 2020 Old Stock. Poured really well for being from 2020. This is a fantastic beer! Not too sweet or dry, strong caramel and toffee with a light and pleasant copper taste. #beer

“I think it's very important that we make sure that, as those final decisions are made, the legislators understand the consequence of it, because the problem is, once these stations are gone, they're gone.”

PBS CEO weighs in on the potential impact of cutting public media funding

The Trump administration is expected to ask Congress to rescind more than $1 billion of funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the congressionally-created body through which NPR and PBS get federal funding, including for this program. The CPB is also suing the administration saying it illegally fired three members of the board. Amna Nawaz discussed more with PBS CEO Paula Kerger.

What could happen to the Public Broadcasting Service is an absolute travesty! Name one show that is not respected. It’s about controlling the narrative. Imagine not having the War coverage we’ve had from Frontline, learning to love everyone like Sesame Street taught us, learning about cool shit on NOVA. Democrats and Republicans, this is what you’re taking away from all of us and your future. #PBS #WeLoveYouPBS #PublicBroadcastSystem
