Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.

All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.

Are the family values in the room with us?

Police cars should be marked and Ice agents should not be be masked.

It’s that time of year again! 🫣

Any advise for aphids on my apple seedling? I’m picking and spraying them off right now but I’m worried they’ll just come back. I’ve read about light soapy water on the soil to maybe get rid of them, not sure how that will impact the plants though 😬

Finally made to newer indie bookstore in my city. Excited to dive into these books for February

Libby app is downloaded, headphones are charging, and I got a fresh stack of books in the mail. Screw meta/twitter/amazon/trump. I will be spending my free time at the library, local parks, Bluesky and Substack for the foreseeable future.
