The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Antifa is not a real organization. It's simply an acronym, a philosophy - it means anti-fascist.
And every American President - before the current one - has opposed fascism.
Let's take back our flag.

No taxation without representation.
California needs to create an escrow account to hold federal taxes before they are passed on, and if the administration tries to take away legally appropriated funds, we pull from the escrow account.

there’s quite literally no purpose in continuing to pay taxes if they’re going to weaponize them against a majority of people paying them like this
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

When referring to people who are anti-Trump, don't fall into the trap of calling them "Antifa."
That is a loaded, mangled word. Call them what they are, "anti-fascists."
