This is following a massive sweep of an encampment in Bellingham a couple of days ago. Temperatures here have been below freezing and cops and local cities are killing folx rather than provide them with temporary housing during a state of emergency.

Same boat.

If the documents are needed every drat year, why aren't they ever sent/available at the beginning of the year? Why is there always a wait for things? It's not like our taxes are magically not due anymore, or that the due date changes often.

Accruals

Doing honest to god charity work doesnt seem like it wins hearts and minds anymore and like 20% of people think Bill Gates funds vaccinates to implant microchips so .

Jeff Bezos donated 10 Billion to combat climate change. Say what you want about the guy but that can do some serious good and, I believe, that is more than the federal government pledged in the last 4 years.

weird that the trump admin wouldn't pledge to save the environment.

I'd check the IRS site to verify your information is correct and if the check has already been mailed out.

I can't recommend whose kneecaps to break other than "the entire republican caucus and maybe some of the problem solvers" but you can always call your congressional representative and/or senators and vent at some staffers for a bit.

Oh gee, I wish I had thought of that

In all honesty I was fairly certain you had, but I've actually talked with a few friends who didn't know about the site and I figured I'd link it anyway on the off chance someone could get use out of it.

Hope you get your money soon.

I'm in the very fun group of "has to file to get stimulus as tax credit," which is very cool with the delayed filing this year and my lack of income last year. Which didn't stop the direct deposit from the first stimulus.

What a dumb loving country beholden to lovely corporate interests.

Hyrax Attack! posted:

Is there a reason the Taliban doesn't simply stop offensives for a few months and claim to be following the peace process, wait for NATO to depart, maybe give it a month, then overrun the rest of the country? Unlikely that the West would be interested in reinvading. Do their leaders not have enough control to do that, or would it risk an internal Taliban coup in favor of more attacks?

What do you imagine the Taliban to be?

No, it's ok because they're Texans. If this was happening in California or NYC I'd feel exactly the same way.

And trust me, I also hate the state I live in too, and I'd expect other people in other states to feel just like I do now.

gently caress off with this. The Texans that are dying are marginalized individuals like the outsized BIPOC homeless population, not assholes with brodozers who roll coal and drunkenly brandish firearms in the burbs

e: for Cole's benefit, these are people who aren't represented in their government and who are victimized just by existing. gently caress right off with saying they aren't doing enough organizing.

Nobody is going to do anything though. Even the capable. Watch and find out.

Mutual aid groups in Texas are doing lots to assist folx, as are plenty of people from outside of Texas. Organizing is occurring and if you aren't looking for it then that's on you.
