nice to see it’s green somewhere

this is what community looks like.

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Sorry… but we, um, captured the leader of a sovereign nation overnight? 😬 That seems bad.

What’s an SBDC?

Congratulations Adam!!

with charts!

Ouch.

@illumas.bsky.social oh no!!
