A general strike would have tax effects that could accomplish much of this tactic. Better yet, Newsom could found a California based non profit NGO for people and businesses - like a CryptoCal (jk) barter union that exchanges no federally taxable dollars but funds our State taxes instead.

(that was my career summary to date.) at no point has any single factor worsening instructors' working conditions (and thus students' learning conditions) been walked back, eased, or improved. constant intensification of exhaustion and demoralization

False, radical, gaslighting, Reich regime propaganda... Have you seen the White House website timeline lately? Bunch of Nazis running OUR country!

Each story speaks for a community. Each community has countless untold stories this dire, making the sum of our experience clearly excruciating. Meanwhile, a few psychopaths sit on top of the riches of the world laughing while they steal and destroy what hands have built. A tipping point is here..

So that Mellon guy who gives away cash from his inheritance doesn’t have any left for SNAP?

Well signal being offline is one way to prevent the DOD from planning any new wars

True that.

I deleted x long ago. Have you? Why not?

Excellent perspective on the video from Canada.

now that we know how much Reagan’s words pique him, would be great if someone rich bought Super Bowl airtime to air this speech in its entirety, unedited. choice quote: “if we ever close the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.” (at 2:07) youtu.be/2R8QxCD6ir8

WE NEED TO KEEP FILING LAWSUITS UNTIL WE GET IT TO THE 11TH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS! WHY?! BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED THEIR RULINGS AGAINST ICE ONCE THEY HAVE RULED!!! WE MUST FIGHT LIKE HECK!!! THIS IS NOT ONLY INSANE, BUT INHUMANE!!! WHERE IS THE MILITARY?!

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it .

The Before Days seem so long ago. But a video like this returns me to near-balance by bringing the Era Of #Decency back into view for a moment. This was good medicine for me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPzc...

Food stamps are set to run out of funding in early November & I’m just here to remind you that if you catch someone stealing food at the grocery store then you should immediately call the ghostbusters because you clearly saw a ghost and they clearly vanished into thin air and you didn’t see nothin.

In a win for voters Friday, a federal appeals court rejected a right-wing effort to revive a Republican bid to block Pennsylvania from counting undated or wrongly dated mail-in ballots.🥳 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

www.space.com/space-explor... “museum officials have warned the shuttle may need to be partially disassembled in order to be transferred, risking irreversible damage to one of the most meticulously preserved pieces of spaceflight history.”

In some ways, the regime half-assedly tearing off part of the White House without regard for construction protocols might have more of an impact on the offline folks than the past ten months.

I’m a federal employee (non-military) also going without pay. Don’t forget there are more than just military members not being paid, not being able to pay mortgages/rent, but food etc. As an American and former NPS ranger seeing this act of atrocity breaks my heart 1000x over.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

#DiarrheaDon shits on America every day.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce American propagandist Alexandra Jost, aka “Sasha”. She’s best known for being paid by the Russian state to spread pro-Kremlin propaganda — and for doing it with a big smile. 1/23

I don't know that we should label the unimpressed as anything other than "nihilist wreckers". It's not a stance that I consider left at all.

Something the Turd Reich would do.

Shitzkrieg. Okay I'm done now.

It really is uplifting. One of the big heart lifting things is when people drive by honking their horns with peace signs, etc. I’ve never seen so many cars driving up and down the coast highway supporting the protesters by honking their horns! We had a big turnout in Carlsbad, California.

When you hide behind masks to kidnap, disappear people and torture and hurt people due to the color of their skin it's hard to feel sorry for these people getting their identities revealed. It's like feeling sorry for NAZI Gestapo. Nobody needs a mask if what they are doing is right. #RightsMatter

This is what it means to be a real American.

NEW: Judge Sara Ellis just ruled ICE in Chicago must wear body cameras. When ICE pushed back, she said she's seen activist video contradict ICE lies, "I’m not blind, right?”. 👏 THIS is why we record. Keep resisting on the streets and in the courts!

Sean Duffy: "We are gonna save billions of dollars by getting rid of the fuel economy standards that are set way too high, that no combustion engine can meet, costing each car to the tune of thousands of dollars for the end consumer. We're in the process of getting rid of those rules."

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois. "We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

They should play the Kirsty Noem South Park video instead. youtube.com/shorts/Za3w3...

The #ANTIFAManifesto has been found! It's called "The Constitution."

Yes, everyone should brush up on their Orwell.👍 And, we all could use a good refresher on our Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. 🇺🇲📜🦅🗽 Resist.

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose. I never bluff and I usually win.

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

Republican playbook, Reagan did the same, releasing the hostages in Iran would boost Carter’s reelection.

#ResistanceEarth Humans have transformed a third of the Earth’s surface with roads, dams, fences and other structures, disrupting critical ecosystems and migration patterns. Restoring those ecosystems is vital to saving the “web of life” — including us. www.downtoearth.org.in/wildlife-bio...

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword. We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

I've been saying this for a long time. I'm not the only one. The Doctrine of Discovery was a doctrine of genocide and enslavement.

"The colonists sought not just territory, but unchallenged dominion. To achieve this, they needed to erase the legitimacy of Native governance and justify dispossession. It was precisely because Natives mirrored the colonists’ own ideals (autonomy, law, liberty) that they had to be cast as savages."

If an Obama staffer was handed a bag of money on camera, looked inside and then handed it back saying "no thanks!" an edited version of the tape making it look like they said "thanks!" and kept the money would have gone viral and they would have been fired instantly.

Good news from Wicken Fen Nature Reserve, north of Cambridge.

Sunday reading: I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves. This week’s piece:
