The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

BREAKING: VA Gov Abigail Spanberger just vetoed a bill that would ban ICE from making warrantless arrests inside of courthouses. VA Dems have the House, the Senate, and the Governorship. They have all the power and still under a Corporate Centrist Democrat, align with fascist ideology.

it's actually true that you cannot fund good government entirely by taxing the rich, which is why slopulist proposals to gut the tax base are a bad idea but taxing the rich at punitive levels is a goal in and of itself, billionaires are simply too dangerous to public policy to exist

Step 1: find a trans person of the opposite gender. Step 2: both go to the Texas detransition clinic and ask for hormones of your assigned sex at birth to undo the damage of gender ideology. Step 3: swap your free hormones with your trans homie. Step 4: transition.

So often politicians act like they're taking on big bad evil "big insurance" but in reality its almost always a wealth transfer from poorer people living in prudent locations to wealthy people who insist on living in known high-risk areas like wildfire zones or rapidly erroding waterfronts.

These "requirements to build affordable housing" are a demand that home builders rent or sell a percentage of brand new homes at a loss. This is a tax on new housing that has worsened the housing shortage and increased rents in every city where it was implemented. Policymakers should reject them.

Small historical side note: the first folks in the US lobbying for an embargo were Chinese-Americans! And it worked! Not only that, but it might very well have been the teensy-tiny domino that set in motion the defeat of fascism in the 20th century. Never let anyone tell you activism is pointless.
