This is an interesting read... inequality.org/article/tax-...

(which I don't see working b/c too many of us unconsciously support systems propping them up & we'd get a re-run at best)
2) prove this is regression/devolution by the empathic, democratic majority outwitting/performing them (a steep uphill battle, % of failure high but technically possible).

Interesting idea, partly b/c they argue it's evolutionary dominance (adequate "reasoning" for their touting/pushing eugenics). Without outside intervention (very close to 0% chance of that), I see 2 paths: 1) forcibly take away their $/advantages to make them survive as we do, ...

"A key goal of Project 2025". Why?
Their definition of "porn" for the bill includes:
drag queens

How many dolls-worth is that? Asking for the kids.

He would also have to pay taxes too, right? Fairly sure that has to continue as long as you retain citizenship, even if you live abroad, have a dual citizenship and already pay another country's taxes.

Aaaand that got you a follow. 💚🦉

Or certain types of preachers...

Genuine question: why do they announce these things? I mean, the heads up has us freaked, sure but it also galvanizes urgent legal response that may stop it, so why bother? Is it a public flag/signal to their people on the "ground"? Eg "now in phase X, get ready"?

I very much agree! 💖 Fairy tales remain ever-relevant. #FolkloreAsResistance

Gosh - what an excellent story about the of abuse of power. Too often when favor turns sour and a person with power/wealth (or a regime) targets someone, they become the societal equivalent of a wyrm. I wish I could think of the equivalent of the Fairy Queen in today's clime.

I love this idea that even ghosts can have a redemption arc/become better people, er, ghosts.

That's somehow simultaneously delightful and gross.

Re curses, it may suggest that curses can be mitigated by community, something we should take to heart today. Making the effort to care for, and be responsible for each other, and especially for children, can reduce harm of forces acting against us/them.

This makes it extra-clear why catching sight of yourself in a mirror is so unnerving... fetch or reflection? The idea of doubles of ourselves, whether doppelganger, reflection, fetch, or identical twins that are super-bonded really challenges the idea that we are unique with one life for one person.

What the crap is the new Homeland Security Task Force, created on Jan 20 this year??? This whole EO reads very much like a version of Martial Law.
