Poem for Diaries of Imigrantes Road - Little Red Moths Everywhere

🦋☆*: .｡. o .｡.:*☆🦋☆*: .｡. o .｡.:*☆🦋

“Oh… This wasn’t planned…”

Little red moths flutter

Tunnel vision glowing bright

Shivering winds cause a shudder

There’s been a mistake, a major mistake

Not how you’re supposed to feel, not another utter

Not a complain, not an ache

Red glow, red tunnel

Whisper to the hiding place

Crawled right from out of the rubble

Red smile plagues the face

Candle glowing on the road, a sign

Blaring come to us, to erase

Fluttering wings begin to align

Two steps closer along the highway

Colors whirring now entwine

Light of red now in decay

Little red moths everywhere

Life flying into the air

🦋☆*: .｡. o .｡.:*☆🦋☆*: .｡. o .｡.:*☆🦋

Best wishes during this tax season to Ray Molina, who is staring at his computer and trying to figure out if there's a way he can claim all 6 of his kids as dependents, even though 4 of them aren't alive.

Fan Joy July, Day 31

woah! It’s been a month, hasn’t it?

ok I don’t like that intro but it’s fine.

today for my last day I wanted to do something different

because there is SO much pretty artwork I could write about

and it’s hard to sift and pick, because this tumblr, as in the entire collect of writers, artists, and everyone in between and beyond is just SO talented to say the least.

so I hope you enjoy this little spin, and thanks to @kikker-oma for creating this prompt and turning July to a whole month of fun! (Even if I didn’t make it all the way through this was an awesome challenge and really pushed my limits (in a good way)!!)

The rancher’s eyes slowly squinted open, his palm instinctively moving to his face to rub away the remaining sleep. By that point it was crystal clear in his mind that this wasn’t where they camped last night.

“Is everyone alright?” The familiar authoritative tone of time rang through the… hallway? Echoing across the large, yet thin span. Twilight quickly sat up, looking around at his surroundings.

It must have been a museum, or something.

“I’ve looked around, there isn’t any threat… just seems like a filler.” And there was the captain, “But look.” His fingers pointed towards different pieces of work in the hall, none the same, whether the strokes of a material, or the letters of a word.

It was only when Twilight looked closer, he realized.

“It’s us.” Four breathed out, tracing his fingers along a drawing, the charcoal smearing a bit on his fingers “They’re all… based on us.”

Wind quickly sprinted to a particularly long scroll, “We’re even written about! This is so cool, we’re like, famous!” The click of an image being taken immediately filled the room, the champion fascinated by all the creativity surrounding him. “It’s magical,” The traveler carefully spun around, basking it in like a plant in sunlight, “Really magical.”

“I personally am flattered.” The skyloftian agreed, “Wait, Wild, take a picture of this one!” He lifted up a painting.

“I never knew we got so much recognition.” Legend sat down, “Always thought our courage was taken for granted.”

“But it ain’t,” Twilight’s warm hand rested on the veteran’s shoulder, the grip strong but the touch gentle, “And that’s amazing.”

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #26

July 5-12 2024

The IRS announced it had managed to collect $1 billion in back taxes from high-wealth tax cheats. The program focused on persons with more than $1 million in yearly income who owned more than $250,000 in unpaid taxes. Thanks to money in Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act the IRS is able to undertake more enforcement against rich tax cheats after years of Republicans cutting the agency's budget, which they hope to do again if they win power again.

The Biden administration announced a $244 million dollar investment in the federal government’s registered apprenticeship program. This marks the largest investment in the program's history with grants going out to 52 programs in 32 states. The President is focused on getting well paying blue collar opportunities to people and more people are taking part in the apprenticeship program than ever before. Republican pledge to cut it, even as employers struggle to find qualified workers.

The Department of Transportation announced the largest single project in the department's history, $11 billion dollars in grants for the The Hudson River Tunnel. Part of the $66 billion the Biden Administration has invested in our rail system the tunnel, the most complex Infrastructure project in the nation would link New York and New Jersey by rail under the Hudson. Once finished it's believed it'll impact 20% of the American economy by improving and speeding connection throughout the Northeast.

The Department of Energy announced $1.7 billion to save auto worker's jobs and convert factories to electronic vehicles. The Biden administration will used the money to save or reopen factories in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, and Virginia and retool them to make electric cars. The project will save 15,000 skilled union worker jobs, and created 2,900 new high-quality jobs.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development reached a settlement with The Appraisal Foundation over racial discrimination. TAF is the organization responsible for setting standards and qualifications for real estate appraisers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics last year found that TAF was 94.7% White and 0.6% Black, making it the least racially diverse of the 800 occupations surveyed. Black and Latino home owners are far more likely to have their houses under valued than whites. Under the settlement with HUD TAF will have to take serious steps to increase diversity and remove structural barriers to diversity.

The Department of Justice disrupted an effort by the Russian government to influence public opinion through AI bots. The DoJ shut down nearly 1,000 twitter accounts that were linked to a Russian Bot farm. The bots used AI technology to not only generate tweets but also AI image faces for profile pictures. The effort seemed focused on boosting support for Russia's war against Ukraine and spread negative stories/impressions about Ukraine.

The Department of Transportation announces $1.5 billion to help local authorities buy made in America buses. 80% of the funding will go toward zero or low-emission technology, a part of the President's goal of reaching zero emissions by 2050. This is part of the $5 billion the DOT has spent over the last 3 years replacing aging buses with new cleaner technology.

President Biden with Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau and Finnish President Alexander Stubb signed a new agreement on the arctic. The new trilateral agreement between the 3 NATO partners, known as the ICE Pact, will boost production of ice breaking ships, the 3 plan to build as many as 90 between them in the coming years. The alliance hopes to be a counter weight to China's current dominance in the ice breaker market and help western allies respond to Russia's aggressive push into the arctic waters.

The Department of Transportation announced $1.1 billion for greater rail safety. The program seeks to, where ever possible, eliminate rail crossings, thus removing the dangers and inconvenience to communities divided by rail lines. It will also help update and improve safety measures at rail crossings.

The Department of the Interior announced $120 million to help tribal communities prepare for climate disasters. This funding is part of half a billion dollars the Biden administration has spent to help tribes build climate resilience, which itself is part of a $50 billion dollar effort to build climate resilience across the nation. This funding will help support drought measures, wildland fire mitigation, community-driven relocation, managed retreat, protect-in-place efforts, and ocean and coastal management.

The USDA announced $100 million in additional funds to help feed low income kids over the summer. Known as "SUN Bucks" or "Summer EBT" the new Biden program grants the families of kids who qualify for free meals at school $120 dollars pre-child for groceries. This comes on top of the traditional SUN Meals program which offers school meals to qualifying children over the summer, as well as the new under President Biden SUN Meals To-Go program which is now offering delivery of meals to low-income children in rural areas. This grant is meant to help local governments build up the Infrastructure to support and distribute SUN Bucks. If fully implemented SUN Bucks could help 30 million kids, but many Republican governors have refused the funding.

USAID announced its giving $100 million to the UN World Food Program to deliver urgently needed food assistance in Gaza. This will bring the total humanitarian aid given by the US to the Palestinian people since the war started in October 2023 to $774 million, the single largest donor nation. President Biden at his press conference last night said that Israel and Hamas have agreed in principle to a ceasefire deal that will end the war and release the hostages. US negotiators are working to close the final gaps between the two sides and end the war.

The Senate confirmed Nancy Maldonado to serve as a Judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Maldonado is the 202nd federal Judge appointed by President Biden to be confirmed. She will the first Latino judge to ever serve on the 7th Circuit which covers Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.

Bonus: At the NATO summit in Washington DC President Biden joined 32 allies in the Ukraine compact. Allies from Japan to Iceland confirmed their support for Ukraine and deepening their commitments to building Ukraine's forces and keeping a free and Democratic Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. World leaders such as British Prime Minster Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, praised President Biden's experience and leadership during the NATO summit
