If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…
Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

I Was Just Arrested At The Capitol. 1 Thing About The Cop Who Detained Me Was Absolutely Shocking.
"They lined us up, zip-tied our hands behind our backs, and stood us in a single file arc. One officer was assigned to each protester to keep a grip on one of our biceps at all times."

We need to stop saying things like "That's a distraction." One evil thing doesn't negate the other. They're doing a whole lot of evil shit at the same time so some of their evil shit can get through. We need to resist all of the evil shit at the same time. That's our job.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
