The Great American Tax Protest? Has a ring to it...
Starting to think maybe the best protest is if none of us file our taxes... after all we could reasonable worry about it being a security issue.
Or with an unelected, unconfirmed billionaire deciding who and how funds are distributed... one might say this is taxation without representation.

Education is up next in the purge. To quote Project 2025:
"noxious tenets of 'critical race theory' and 'gender ideology' should be excised" and "states, cities and counties, school boards, union bosses, principals, and teachers who disagree should be immediately cut off from federal funds."

A takeover is happening right before our eyes. We need the democrats to be relentless in attempts to stop, interfere and resist.
Yesterday we had purging of data across .gov websites like Census.gov and CDC.gov, take over of OPM systems and data, and firing of FBI agents subject to loyalty tests.

Hold the line.
If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

We are utterly crushed with grief for the families of the passengers, crew and service members who lost their lives last night.
We are also disgusted that Trump would use this as an opportunity to cast blame to further his agenda, attacking Biden, Obama, Democrats, and DEI efforts.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
