The IRS pulled in $3.18 for each dollar spent auditing the top 1%, and $6.29 for the top 0.1%.

There’s one reason and one reason only the GOP wants to defund the IRS: to protect their wealthy mega-donors.

All in all, the GOP’s IRS cuts will cost $40 billion in lost revenue.

Hi Mastodon!

Here is my #introduction.

I am a PhD student in #LIS at Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts who is currently pursuing their research at @tibosl.

I am passionate about #open_access publishing, #ScholComm, equality, diversity and inclusion in knowledge sharing and access.

I contributed to several projects fostering #open_science practices in 🇺🇦 , related to PIDs adaption, #FAIR research information, CRIS development.

Trail running and hatha yoga keep me sane.

“In the popular imagination, private equity is often portrayed as a vulture, or some other scavenger that feasts on the sick and dying,” writes Hannah Levintova in Mother Jones. “But the bulk of the work done by modern-day private equity firms is not to finish off sick companies, but rather to stalk and gut the healthy ones.”

Women between the ages of 40 and 49 who could self-refer for breast cancer #screening programs and receive annual #mammograms had lower breast cancer #mortality rates than those who did not, according to the peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology on Friday.” med-mastodon.com/@weldeiry/110

You write Erasmus+, you read better higher education.

We support a four-year project to build a digital platform for universities in #Ukraine.

It will ensure educational continuity for students, especially for those students who had to flee the country or are internally displaced.

This week, we also selected 159 projects to improve #education systems and strengthen growth globally.

We all gain from these exchanges and cooperation with our partners across the globe.
