So we don’t tax them but that’s ok because they employ people and give to charity, except they’re locked in on ways to avoid employing people and they don’t give to charity.

Just a reminder for folks not in Minnesota . . . we still need help. Also there are things you can do to prepare your community in case this fuckery comes where you are (or just because they're good things to do).
Want to help people in Minnesota? The best place to start is: www.standwithminnesota.com
You can donate money to people who need it, donate airline miles, send supportive messages, & read about other things to do to help or prepare your own community:

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17
One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage
Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states

It’s not about whether you personally like or dislike remote work - it’s about executives trying to strip options, jobs & rights away from *everybody*.
Working remotely is not just a better setup for many disciplines: it allows teams to include different people w/ different strengths & experiences.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.
Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."
Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that with Britta Curl on the U.S. Hockey Team, J.D. Vance & Marco Rubio are at the game sitting with the Lamoureux twins, who are noted transphobes and aligned with Curl wrt to their anti-trans advocacy in sport. Happy Olympics!

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

and then do it again tomorrow
