I am extremely for soft secession and think those of us in blue states should look into not sending tax dollars to the federal government.
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?

Both dedicated decades to serving their country with distinction until Trump axed them.

We made them fight in segregated units during the casualty-filled fight to liberate the Netherlands in 1944 & 1945.
Now, we erase them from history on the grounds that it is wrong to mention their race.
This is so very deeply wrong in so many ways.
The Dutch have a word for this: schande.

Fifth-grader: Why is Frankenstein the bad guy?
Me: He created a human being but he didn't love him or teach him anything. It's like he had a baby and abandoned it.

Coronal (dead above oneself) Aurora are the best.
I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora

My all time favorite episode of #StarTrek:
OTD, #StarTrekDS9's "Once More Unto the Breach," based on the legend of Davy Crockett at the Alamo. It marked the final appearance of John Colicos as Kor, 31 years after he was first on #StarTrekTOS. It was also the last role of his impressive and varied career.
