New in PN: What if we just stopped paying taxes?

"Like many other blue states, Minnesota pays more to the federal government than it takes in. But why should the state continue to subsidize a government bent on destroying it? What if it just … didn’t?"
What if we just stopped paying taxes?
Where there's a will there (might) be a way.

We're not allowed to see the faces of the taxpayer-funded goon squad who is committing crimes in the streets, but the goon squad is allowed to record the faces of taxpayers who have committed no crimes.

New conspiracy theory just dropped!

Some people are saying that they believe the government is not taking care of its military veterans on purpose so that they are in no state to participate in any resistance efforts. Damn. 🤯

We are seeing incredible acts of solidarity today in Minnesota and across the country.

The next days and months and years will require this from us — and demand our courage. Be prepared.

It’s a beautiful moment when a piece of chalk art is completed, and the surrounding crowd breaks into a round of applause for the artist 🥰

Someone mentioned that her foot looked like a mermaid tail, so I made a print of her on bubble paper. A bit messy, but I love the textures and movement.

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans beat Democrats over the head with the charge that Dems had turned the United States into a "pitiful helpless giant."

Turns out they wanted that honor for themselves.

This is apparently real. People who voted for him must've wanted someone stupider than they are. I'm sorry, but he's a " low-IQ individual," to quote the Low-IQ Individual in Chief.

The General Strike.

That's the way you do it.
No work, no shopping, no dining out.

Hundreds of Minnesota businesses are expected to close and many people vowed to pause everyday activities on Friday as part of a general strike against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. nyti.ms/4jWGKkF

Every criminal wants Trump to pardon them. If I were innocent, I would be well aware I am not the type of person Trump wants to pardon. Asking him for a pardon would be the same as an admission of guilt.

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed?

CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer

AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

Donald Trump will not be remembered as the president who ended 8 wars,
because he didn't.

He will be remembered as the most moronic 'world leader' in all of history.
That's what people will remember.

Tom Suozzi represents the NY-3 district on northwestern Long Island.

If there's any mayor or town council member in Syosset or Great Neck or wherever who wants to make their move, this is the time.

Denounce this vote, promise you'd stand up to the goons, and you'd raise a million in a week.
FWIW:

Golden is retiring.

The filing deadline has passed in NC; Davis is the only Dem running.

The filing deadline has passed in TX; Gonzalez & Cuellar both have primary opponents.

Gillen has several Dem opponents as well, as does Perez.

If you want to primary Suozzi, you still have until 3/30.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.

That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
