Do not let these milktoast muppet white men content creators convince you that we are doomed. They are selling fear and profiting off of it.
His health is failing. The cult has lost its’ momentum. The Epstein victims are actively making their case and trials will be happening, worldwide. The GOP is fighting amongst themselves about everything. Dems are winning their elections at the state and federal levels. The military is being sent to cities to then stand around and be mocked. Judges have also ruled it’s illegal for them to be sent to blue cities in the first place. Alligator Alcatraz got shut down. They’re desperate to hire people for ICE because people keep quitting. Protests are happening every week, everywhere.
We are in a very scary and chaotic time. Project 2025 is terrifying. People are being emboldened to be violent, and people are being traumatized and harmed. The country has been divided and damaged, but not beyond repair and rebuild. We will get through this, we just can’t give up and comply in advance. Don’t let the bastards get you down.
Further, some authors may never even find out the lawsuit is happening. The court's suggested notification scheme "would require class claimants to themselves notify other potential rightsholders," groups said, overlooking the fact that it cost Google $34.5 million "to set up a 'Books Rights Registry' to identify owners for payouts under the proposed settlement" in one of the largest cases involving book authors prior to the AI avalanche of lawsuits.

I don't usually talk about local news but this is urgent. I'm sharing my friend's thread and their ko-fi for donations to help with victims and aid: pitikhong on kofi. I can verify that my friend is a trusted source, we know each other irl.
ACAB, every single one.
edit: my friend is switching to donating to LBH instead as YLBHI is closed for donations. They'll still be accepting donations and directing them to LBH but you can also donate directly to LBH's paypal here.
Good things will happen in September
I completely forgot I scheduled this post a year in advance and woke up to see the cat fish of fortune had come in the night to deliver the good news. Auspicious September everybody
IRS Free Online Tax Preparation Feedback Survey
For anyone in the US, the IRS just dropped a survey asking if people would like to file for free. People should take the survey!
this is quick and it is simple, and it looks like something the IRS is putting out so they can say "see, the public wants a free, easy tax filing service! please give us funding for this!"
the questions are basically "if you could file your taxes easily for free online, would you? would you rather do it with the IRS or with a private company? are you ok with the IRS spending $20 on processing your return (you still pay nothing, it is still free)?"
basically they're asking "do you want us to spend your tax dollars on making it easy for you to file your taxes for free?"
This service should be funded by our tax dollars!
