Soft secession

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.
Experts Say Blue States Can Stop Paying Federal Taxes. There’s Precedent
If we could use nullification for people to get high, why can’t we use it to protect human rights and stop fascism?

It's 22 hours and counting since Donald Trump posted on Truth Social.

You know he's awake. You know he's steaming. Did they take the phone away?

What if we could make CO₂ emissions visible? This cameras that Niki Gruber, the fearless leader of @upgroup.bsky.social, is holding does that. We should post videos everywhere.

We need videos from optical gas imaging cameras for CO₂ emissions.
What you see without an OGI camera vs what you see with an OGI camera.

What you are seeing in a plume of methane and VOCs.

You can see how it is so easy for them to ignore the ongoing systemic methane pollution.

I mean, Emily wants the attention, so, I'll give it to her!
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

I was so proud to be listed on Cycling UK's 100 women in cycling 2022.

Because of their recent decision to exclude transwomen from the list, I have requested my name be removed.

Transwomen are women & cruel politics has no place in the cycling spaces that I campaign and research for.

“Not since the civil rights era — and never with such unanimity — have American bishops so directly challenged a president’s policies.”
“Meeting at their annual conference in Baltimore, the bishops voted 216-5 (with three abstentions) to approve a ‘Special Message’ on immigration — the first such action in 12 years.

After the overwhelming vote, the assembly of bishops stood and applauded, underscoring the moment’s importance.”
BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

The country made a mistake in electing Trump. A big one.

Now we should tell him, loudly, that he needs to go.
Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.

It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇
Growing list of reasons Trump should step down:
- Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring
- Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment
- Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power
- Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy
