Exempt people can legally have zero taxes withheld. Other people can update their W4 to minimize withholding. Theoretically if you owe you pay when you file.

then nap and repeat

Anyone who has lived through this in tech industries can vouch for this. Minimally years lost. My company once laid off the only resource who did the modeling for critical safety kit with major operational impacts. All models ended up having to be rebuilt over several years and huge value lost.

A+ response. No notes.

So what are Dems or anyone going to do about this? Will any enforcement group step in? I've been asking about this for a while. If no one is going to enforce the law to make them cease illegal activities (or restart legal ones), what use are judgements against them? bsky.app/profile/beth...

Definitely fantasyland. GOP won't raise a finger.

They just get more fascist and Nazi-like every day.

Trying to make our grid as unreliable as Texas or worse.

I will keep saying this again and again. The GOP is allowing all this to happen. They are in on the fix, whether by carrot or stick.

The .1% Pigs are gathering at the trough. It’s time to end this BS. Luigi may have only been the first shot.

And this is all because of racism & white nationalism, ignorance, and the price of eggs.

My comments to a few friends post-election was the new axis would be US/Russia. Unlike WWII, what allied group could stop these 2? (the combo it took to stop the Nazis in WWII). Only China has enough power and they wouldn't bother. If China is roped in that's the global stage for our lifetimes.

True not only of NASA but of all other firings to date and to come.

The NAACP is keeping a list. Spend accordingly! BAD (killed DEI initiatives): Lowe’s, Target, Walmart, Amazon, Meta, McDonald’s, and Tractor Supply GOOD: Costco, Apple, Ben & Jerry’s, Delta Airlines, e.l.f. Cosmetics and JPMorgan Chase. apnews.com/article/blac...

Knee benders.

I made some quick-pickles tonight and now I keep saying 'the quickle pickle upper' please send help

Not just children. They should be forced to hear about every fatality associated with their capitulation. Not just RFK He but all of them. So much blood is going to be on their hands.

A reminder to be careful of potential false flag information.

We need some framing in the media of the "GOP / Congressional Republicans are allowing" unconstitutional and illegal acts. They could take steps to stop what is happening. They won't.

Hey, folks looking for map alternatives who aren't bending the knee (or forced to change if gov service), in addition to MapQuest, there's also Waze, Openstreetmap, and Here WeGo. Plus a ton of GPS type apps.

Women, anyone with a name change, elderly/disenfranchised who may never have gotten a certificate, etc. Classic GOP suppression tactics.
