If You Send Money Abroad, Pay Attention

Starting January 1, 2026, the federal government will begin enforcing a 1% tax on certain international money transfers originating from the United States. This new remittance tax applies to transactions made with cash, money orders, wire services like Western Union or MoneyGram, cashier’s checks, and prepaid reloadable cards funded with cash.

This tax is added on top of any fees already charged by the transfer company. It does not replace those fees.

The tax does not apply to:
•Transfers made using U.S.-issued debit or credit cards
•Bank-to-bank transfers between U.S. and foreign accounts
•Peer-to-peer apps like Zelle, as long as the funding source is a verified U.S. account

This is the first time the U.S. has imposed a federal excise tax on personal remittances. It was signed into law under Donald Trump as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

-What Is Being Said About It

Proponents of the tax claim it will reduce untracked cash flows and keep more money circulating in the domestic economy. But there is no published evidence showing that this tax will reduce remittances or materially impact overall U.S. economic activity.

What we do know is that remittances are sent using after-tax income. This money has already moved through the U.S. economy via spending on housing, food, gas, utilities, and other taxable activity. In many cases, undocumented workers also contribute to federal programs like Social Security through Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers.

-What the Tax Targets

This tax does not apply to corporate capital flows, offshore investment transfers, or digital banking systems used by high-income individuals. It targets cash-based systems. The kinds used by people without access to mainstream banking. The kinds used by families who rely on remittances to support relatives abroad.

The average remittance is not a high-dollar transaction. It is often a few hundred dollars per month, used for basic needs like rent, groceries, and medical care. These are not luxury transactions. These are support systems.

The government is not unclear on who uses these services. These methods were chosen precisely because they are traceable and widely used by working-class senders.

-Where the Money Goes

The revenue generated from this tax will go into the general federal fund. It is not allocated to immigration policy, border enforcement, financial education, or social programs. There is no earmark or public accountability tied to how this money will be spent.

This is not a reinvestment. It is a federal revenue collection tool.

-What This Means

Most Americans will not be affected. This tax does not touch most online or card-based transfers. It does not apply to wealthier individuals using traditional banks. It applies to people sending money through cash-based methods. Often the same people with the fewest financial options.

Sending money home is not new. It is not illegal. It is not under-the-table. It is one of the most documented, regulated, and essential forms of global family support.

The remittance tax does not criminalize the act, but it does make it more expensive. And for many families, even a one percent increase on top of existing fees is significant.

Si Envías Dinero al Extranjero, Presta Atención

A partir del 1 de enero de 2026, el gobierno federal de los Estados Unidos comenzará a aplicar un impuesto del 1 % sobre ciertas transferencias internacionales de dinero enviadas desde el país. Este nuevo impuesto sobre remesas se aplicará a transacciones realizadas en efectivo, giros postales, servicios de envío como Western Union o MoneyGram, cheques de caja y tarjetas recargables financiadas con efectivo.

Este impuesto se suma a las tarifas que ya cobran las compañías de envío. No reemplaza esas tarifas.

El impuesto no se aplica a:
•Transferencias realizadas con tarjetas de débito o crédito emitidas en EE. UU.
•Transferencias de banco a banco entre cuentas estadounidenses y extranjeras
•Aplicaciones entre personas como Zelle, siempre que la fuente de fondos sea una cuenta verificada en EE. UU.

Esta es la primera vez que el gobierno de EE. UU. impone un impuesto federal sobre remesas personales. Fue aprobado bajo la presidencia de Donald Trump como parte de la ley conocida como One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

*Lo Que Se Está Diciendo

Quienes apoyan este impuesto afirman que reducirá el flujo de efectivo no rastreado y mantendrá más dinero circulando dentro de la economía nacional. Sin embargo, no hay evidencia publicada que demuestre que este impuesto reducirá las remesas o tendrá un impacto significativo en la economía general de EE. UU.

Lo que sí se sabe es que las remesas se envían con ingresos que ya pagaron impuestos. Ese dinero ya ha circulado por la economía a través de pagos de vivienda, alimentos, gasolina, servicios públicos y otras actividades sujetas a impuestos. En muchos casos, trabajadores indocumentados también contribuyen a programas federales como el Seguro Social mediante Números de Identificación Personal del Contribuyente (ITIN).

*A Qué Apunta Este Impuesto

Este impuesto no se aplica a transferencias de capital corporativo, inversiones en el extranjero ni sistemas de banca digital utilizados por personas de altos ingresos. Apunta a sistemas basados en efectivo. Los mismos que usan personas sin acceso a la banca tradicional. Los que usan familias que dependen de las remesas para apoyar a sus seres queridos en el extranjero.

La remesa promedio no es una transacción de alto valor. A menudo son unos pocos cientos de dólares al mes, destinados a cubrir necesidades básicas como renta, alimentos o atención médica. Estas no son transacciones de lujo. Son mecanismos de apoyo.

El gobierno sabe perfectamente quién utiliza estos servicios. Estas formas de envío fueron seleccionadas precisamente porque son rastreables y ampliamente utilizadas por personas trabajadoras.

*A Dónde Va el Dinero

Los ingresos recaudados por este impuesto se depositarán en el fondo general federal. No están asignados a programas de inmigración, control fronterizo, educación financiera ni programas sociales. No hay asignación específica ni mecanismos públicos de rendición de cuentas sobre cómo se utilizará ese dinero.

Esto no es una reinversión. Es una herramienta de recaudación de ingresos federales.

*Qué Significa Esto

La mayoría de los estadounidenses no se verán afectados. Este impuesto no toca la mayoría de las transferencias digitales ni las que usan tarjetas. No afecta a personas con acceso a la banca formal. Aplica a quienes envían dinero mediante métodos en efectivo. A menudo, las mismas personas con menos opciones financieras.

Enviar dinero a casa no es algo nuevo. No es ilegal. No es clandestino. Es una de las formas más documentadas, reguladas y necesarias de apoyo familiar a nivel global.

Este impuesto no criminaliza el acto, pero lo encarece. Y para muchas familias, un aumento del uno por ciento sobre tarifas ya elevadas sí importa.

BREAKING: The U.S. Just Bombed Venezuela — Here’s What We Know

On the morning of January 3, 2026, the United States launched airstrikes in Caracas, Venezuela. According to Reuters, the Associated Press, and Al Jazeera, those strikes targeted military and government sites. U.S. officials later confirmed that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were abducted by U.S. forces and flown out of the country into U.S. custody.

There was no formal declaration of war.
No congressional authorization.
No resolution from the United Nations.
The operation was unilateral and unauthorized by any international body.

The stated reason for the attack was narcotrafficking. Maduro has been under U.S. indictment for years. But that justification is undermined by the fact that just weeks before this strike, Trump issued a pardon for a major Colombian trafficker tied to a well-documented narco network. There is no consistency in the logic. Only selective enforcement.

Maduro’s crimes are not in question. His government is responsible for political repression, economic collapse, mass surveillance, and human rights abuses. Millions of Venezuelans have fled the country. Many of those who remain have lived under unbearable conditions. It’s not surprising that some Venezuelans celebrated the news of his removal. That reaction is real.

But the fact that Maduro’s leadership was violent and unpopular does not make this operation legitimate. The United States did not act on behalf of the Venezuelan people. It did not act with regional support. It did not act with global consensus. It acted alone ; and now claims the right to manage Venezuela’s “transition.”

Maduro is a problem — but he was Venezuela’s problem to solve.

The United States is not the global judge, jury, or enforcer it pretends to be. It does not hold moral ground in matters of democracy. Especially not under a president who refused to concede his own election and encouraged political violence on U.S. soil just a few years ago.

There is no legitimacy in selectively defending democracy abroad while disregarding it at home. There is no credibility in forcing regime change under the language of justice while ignoring corruption, instability, and collapse inside our own borders.

Now the U.S. is preparing a trial. It will be framed as proof that the operation was lawful, that due process is intact, that everything unfolded by the book. But trials can be staged. Legality can be weaponized. And international law does not begin and end in Washington.

At the same time this is unfolding, the Epstein client list is being unsealed with minimal coverage. Healthcare costs are climbing again. Families are buried under the weight of housing, childcare, groceries, and medical debt. And somehow, Venezuela was prioritized.

This is not about defending Maduro. It is about naming what just happened for what it is: A foreign military intervention without authorization, carried out under a collapsing domestic democracy, led by a president who is visibly unwell, and processed by a political system that no longer answers to the people.

You wanna know what “White American Culture” is?
Here it is. Plain. Direct. No seasoning required. We know how much you hate that

It’s genocide
Indigenous nations erased, renamed, and paved over with lies called discovery. Mass murder rebranded as manifest destiny

It’s slavery
An economy built on stolen bodies and upheld by theology soaked in supremacy. Whiteness built the system and then sat back and cashed the checks

It’s police violence
From slave patrols to traffic stops turned executions. Enforcing white order was the job and still is

It’s lynching
Not fringe. Not isolated. Community carnivals of torture. Children brought lunch. Postcards were printed. No one served time

It’s segregation
Carved into law. Cemented in housing maps, school zones, and loan denials. It never ended. It just changed zip codes and got a PR team

It’s mass shootings
White men with arsenals and God complexes. Called misunderstood. Given grace. Given airtime. Given Burger King

It’s pe******ia
Protected behind pulpits. Tenured at Ivies. Medaled in sports. The abusers retire. The survivors vanish

It’s child brides
Still legal. Still pushed. Still passed off as faith and family values. A minor’s abuse dressed up as religious freedom

It’s misogyny
From burned witches to banned abortions. White men wrote the laws. Now they sit on the bench

It’s environmental destruction
Pipelines through Native graves. Toxic clouds over Black towns. White corporations cash out while blaming you for plastic straws

White American culture is not culture

It is violence codified
It is theft legalized
It is erasure glorified

It does not create
It consumes
It copies
It sterilizes

No songs of survival
No dialects whispered in hiding
No dishes preserved by candlelight

It does not remember
It rewrites
It buries
It forgets on purpose

There are no elders with sacred knowledge
Only grandparents who lie by omission
There is no heritage
Only entitlement

They did not lose their culture
They auctioned it
For whiteness
For access
For power

Now they survive on borrowed rhythm
Borrowed slang
Borrowed struggle
No soul
No roots
No story

There is no white American culture
Only systems built to disguise the void
Only violence deployed to defend it
Only fear that one day
everyone else will name what they have always tried to deny

They have no culture
Only power
And the gnawing truth that without it
There is nothing there.

🚨 ICE PSA ALERT

If your family is planning to self deport south, especially to Mexico, stop and read this.

A leaked internal memo inside ICE outlines an operation referred to as Operation Irish Goodbye. It targets people who are trying to leave the United States on their own.

• ICE plans to place agents at southern land ports where people board commercial buses into Mexico or cross by foot.
• Anyone attempting to go home, even with no criminal record, can be pulled off a bus, fingerprinted, and scanned.
• If their name triggers an old immigration issue, ICE can convert a voluntary exit into a formal removal. That means bans. Deportation history. Barriers that follow them for years.
• What used to be a quiet exit can now become a permanent consequence.

⚠️ What is confirmed
• The memo directs agents to target “commercial buses passing through ports of entry into Mexico.”
• ICE and CBP are coordinating to run “targeted operations” at these land ports.
• The stated purpose is to intercept individuals “attempting to self remove.”

⚠️ What is not publicly confirmed
• No official list of ports, states, cities, or bus lines has been released.
• The memo does not name specific locations.
• ICE and DHS have not publicly confirmed the operation. Reports come from leaked internal documents. ICE refused to comment.

✅ What you need to do now
• If someone is planning to leave, warn them. Do not assume any crossing is safe.
• They should not travel alone or uninformed. ICE is counting on people walking into this blind.
• Share this PSA. Someone’s entire future may depend on knowing this before they step on a bus.

• Si aparece un problema migratorio previo, ICE puede convertir una salida voluntaria en una expulsión formal. Eso significa vetos. Historial de deportación. Consecuencias que persiguen a la persona por años.
• Lo que antes era una salida silenciosa ahora puede convertirse en una consecuencia permanente.

⚠️ Lo que sí está confirmado
• El memo instruye a los agentes a enfocarse en “autobuses comerciales que pasan por puertos de entrada hacia México”.
• ICE y CBP están coordinando “operaciones dirigidas” en estos puertos terrestres.

• No deben viajar solos ni desinformados. ICE cuenta con que la gente camine directo a esto sin saber.
• Comparte este PSA. El futuro completo de una persona puede depender de saber esto antes de subirse a un autobús.

Hey, listeners!

We’re clocking out, bundling up, and sliding straight into our annual winter hibernation. The mics are off, the crane is parked, and we’re officially pretending to “rest” while actually overeating like it’s a competitive sport.

Don’t worry, we’ll crawl out of our blanket forts mid-January with new episodes, louder opinions, and even more questionable life advice.

Enjoy your holiday season, dodge the messy family debates, and remember… we’ll miss you more than Mariah Carey misses November.

See you soon!

The federal government is not just moving programs. It is rewriting the architecture of how educational equity operates in the United States. When six major programs leave the Department of Education, the shift is not cosmetic. It changes who has authority, who enforces compliance, who understands the populations served, and who is legally responsible for outcomes.

Here is what it actually means when these specific programs are transferred out of the Department of Education.

TRIO moving to the Department of Labor means the nation’s largest college access programs for low income and first generation students leave the one department designed to monitor higher education performance, accreditation standards, and institutional compliance. Labor does not regulate college retention or academic access. Labor regulates employment. TRIO was built on educational research, academic advising models, tutoring frameworks, college preparation, and student financial support. None of those functions live inside the Department of Labor.

CCAMPIS moving to Health and Human Services means that the only federal program supporting child care for student parents now sits inside a department that administers national health, welfare, and child services programs. CCAMPIS was built specifically for higher education institutions. HHS does not regulate colleges. It does not oversee campus operations. It does not set standards for student support services, early childhood programs on campuses, or the unique legal structure of on site university childcare systems.

Tribal education programs moving to the Department of the Interior means that oversight shifts from an education agency to an agency that manages federal land, natural resources, and tribal trust obligations. Interior already operates the Bureau of Indian Education, but BIE has a long and well documented history of underfunding, backlogs, and compliance challenges. Moving higher education and tribal college support out of the Department of Education removes these programs from an agency with established academic and financial aid oversight systems.

Hispanic Serving Institution programs moving to the Department of Labor means that the largest federal supports for Latino students will be administered by an agency without jurisdiction over higher education quality, accreditation, or institutional accountability. HSIs were created because Latino students faced systemic barriers in access and persistence. That history exists within the context of federal education policy, not workforce administration.

International education programs moving to the Department of State means that foreign language and global training programs will be administered under foreign policy priorities rather than educational priorities. The purpose of Fulbright Hays and related programs has always been academic development, research, and language study. The State Department’s mission is diplomacy and national security. The shift changes which priorities govern funding.

Title One and most K through twelve funding programs moving to the Department of Labor is the most structurally significant change. Title One is the foundation of federal support for schools serving low income communities. It funds reading specialists, intervention teachers, transportation, food programs, tutoring, and the basic operations that keep vulnerable students in school. The Department of Labor has never administered national K through twelve programs. It has no established infrastructure for school funding, compliance monitoring, teacher support, special education coordination, or state plan oversight. Those systems exist only in the Department of Education.

Here is the deeper truth. When programs leave the Department of Education, they leave behind the legal frameworks, data systems, historical knowledge, compliance structures, and specialized offices built for them. They enter agencies where those frameworks do not exist. That means delays. That means restructuring. That means new regulations. That means uncertainty for the institutions that rely on these programs to operate.

The significance is not ideological. It is structural. The Department of Education was created in 1979 because every other agency failed to coordinate national education policy. The programs now being moved out are the same programs created to correct inequities those earlier agencies could not fix. This is documented history.

So yes. These programs still exist. But they no longer live in the institution that was built to protect them. And that is not surface level. That is the foundation shifting under millions of students whose access to education has never been guaranteed.

LOCAL POWER IS REAL POWER | EL PODER LOCAL ES PODER REAL

People love to argue about Washington, but the truth is, most of what affects your life happens right here. Local elections decide your school funding, your property taxes, your library books, your roads, your parks, and your public safety policies.

A la gente le encanta hablar de lo que pasa en Washington, pero la verdad es que la mayoría de las decisiones que afectan tu vida se toman aquí mismo.

I’m not gonna lie, watching all these “America First” farmers freak out over Argentina beef imports is giving chef’s kiss levels of irony.

You spent years chanting “Keep government outta our business!” and “Free market!”
Now the free market just invited Argentina to your barbecue and took your spot at the grill.

Y’all wanted deregulation and global competition. Congratulations. The same folks who promised to protect “American ranchers” just quadrupled Argentina’s beef import quota. That means cheaper labor, foreign supply chains, and more profits for Tyson and JBS, not for you.

Turns out “America First” really meant “Corporate First.” And when the corporations are done with you, they’ll move on to the next pasture.

So yeah, I’ll be over here with my liberal tears and popcorn, watching the capitalist cows come home.
