I advocate for a blue economic secession: 1) everyone who gets federal taxes withdrawn from their paycheck submit a new W-2 form, claiming a deduction equal to the amount normally withdrawn; 2) your subsequent paychecks will be larger and you set aside that extra amount and don’t spend it; 3)
3) you use the set aside amount to pay your taxes the following year OR donate it to a nonprofit pro democracy, organization that qualifies for tax deduction, 4) we do this for a month or two as a protest to this administrations fascist autocratic agenda.
If enough people do this at the same time ,
It would be a powerful message to this administration and gives us the leverage. We need to defend our constitution and democratic principles. This is a concept of a plan that would need to be fleshed out with the help of tax experts, but I think it could really work. Let me know your thoughts.
With dRumpt unilaterally running the country, like a dictator, why does the US need congress.
Time to fire all of congress and save money on wasted space.
F**k DJT. FDT.
The most recent generations haven’t personally experienced hardships like they did during the Great Depression and WW2. They take freedom for granted. Freedom comes at a cost.
I hope it doesn’t take something like a World War to value freedom again.
That’s it in a nutshell. Protesting on social media means you’re safe. It doesn’t do a damn thing but gives you the feeling of accomplishment with no threat of bodily harm. At some point soon, even that won’t be allowed.
@deanobeidallah.bsky.social what happens next? If they defy the courts, what’s left? If we take to the streets in mass he will claim insurrection and martial law. Are we seriously facing what Snyder is suggesting??
Hey Dean I've been listening since about 6:30, and I'm noticing quite a lot of conservative leaning and pro-Trump commercials during your show on Sirius. Who do I contact at Sirius to complain about that?
But I hear over and over again that we can’t condone violence. Secretly, we do condone violence but we say that because what we really mean is that “I won’t do violence, but I’m glad someone else will.”

Yeah I know that’s not the original quote but the point is that appeasement won’t save you.
