Undocumented immigrants paid $11.7 billion in state and federal taxes in 2014. Trump paid only $750 the year he became president and only $750 the next year.
He needs to stop freeloading off Americans.

Somewhat obscure, but I wrote about how to use an SVG to create a masked border on one side of an element. If you want to jump straight to the "how", here's the @CodePen: codepen.io/alexelash/pen/JjX…

1/4 Every healthcare worker in the world is now asking the same question: will we have enough ICU beds, ventilators, and PPE to weather the surge?
A small volunteer group has been working on a tool to help answer that question for every hospital in the US covidcaremap.org/maps/us-hea…

Welp, today I’m embarking a pretty nutso journey... my cat Turtle and I are on our way to Madrid to begin our digital nomad life 😱 I made a little newsletter if anyone wants to hear updates on our travels: buttondown.email/alexlash
Fair warning: I’ve always been terrible at keeping up blogs and journals, so I’m not sure how frequently I’ll update it. I’m thinking twice a month or so.
Wish us luck! 🤞
