@kroltanz The IRS has been grossly underfunded. They also lack the staff they need to conduct forensic financial audits on complicated filers.
It’s purposely done to protect the wealthy and corporations from getting caught cheating on their taxes.

It's now TWO YEARS and 127 days since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. In any other first world country he'd already be charged with crimes. Instead Trump is running for President where he's actively spewing more lies to delegitimize our democracy. Indict trump for Jan 6!

"Occupiers destroy ecosystem of Mariupol: dead dolphins spotted on shore

Dead dolphins have been spotted on the shore of the temporarily occupied city of Mariupol in Donetsk Oblast.

There are also a lot of illegal waste landfill sites in the city and no professional service that would control the pollution of the soil, rivers and sea.

The Mariupol City Council reported on Telegram that the occupiers are destroying the ecosystem of Mariupol.

"It is not the first time the residents of the city have spotted the bodies of dolphins washed ashore. It can be a result of the Russians destroying the natural ecosystem of the Azov Sea," the Mariupol City Council explains."

40 years, never came up with anything, so....yeah....let's just take a couple of days and fix it.

Republicans have nothing on border security. Never have, never will. It’s more ridiculous signaling and it’s separate bills.

Republicans want the economy to crash.

We honour the memory of the Fallen for Ukraine.

Every picture on the wall tells a story of bravery and sacrifice.

They lost their lives fighting for our European values.

Let us not forget these faces.
Let us not forget them.

The biggest mistake moderate Democrats are making is that they are governing to preserve institutional credibility while hoping that Trumpism will blow over, rather than preparing with grim fortitude for a society-wide confrontation with a fascist movement playing for keeps. /1

Oh no, Mastodon isn't like Twitter?

That's too bad. We're not going to change to accommodate someone's inability to do so.

Those that don't like Mastodon as it is can go back to Twitter. Better for them to go back rather than stay and complain that we're not like the place they hate.

Tonight I spoke at an AAPI event and mentioned America's history of anti-Asian discrimination—including the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Asiatic Exclusion League, & Koramatsu & Japanese Camps.

Afterwards an older gentlemen approached me and said, "Thank you for reminding everyone the US Govt locked Japanese Americans in camps. I know—because I was born in those camps. I carry that with me til this day."

I was left in awe. A reminder—this isn't ancient history folks. It's contemporary reality.

Joe Biden's decision to focus on freedom as the theme of his 2024 campaign is quite shrewd.

By emphasizing this fundamental American value, Biden taps into a moral framework deeply embedded in the American psyche. It's about time!

Damn right!!

Exactly!!

It truly is utterly incomprehensible that this is their response to a gun problem.

So much research shows taking away the guns greatly reduces gun related deaths.

The NRA has blood in its hands.

Meanwhile in colorado, parents were locked out of a board meeting. Board member had a church group fill the seats early. People need to attend their school board meetings to avoid having the fringes take over.

Go kids! Anti-#LGBTQ+ bigots in Indiana posing as "concerned parents" tried to cancel this student play, but the kids decided to defy them and produce it anyway. This generation gives me hope.https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/indiana-school-cancels-lgbtq-themed-play-students-produce

I addition to deleting #CNN from my phone, I've removed them from the Firefox completely. That includes their nearly 2 dozen cookies.

Now to remove them from my #SiriusXM favorites page.

Please don't boost #CNN's brand of fascist-fawning. They belong to #Trump now.
