Dear US friends. I hear you feel ashamed. Know that the world outside of US is well oriented as most of our media is not deceptive. Do not carry the burden of shame. That belong to your President, administration and deceptive Greedy Old Party. Shame do not serve you. It takes your power away. 1/10

One thing I am afraid of: that they will take everything away, then give some of it back, and MAGAs will be nothing but grateful. This is domestic (as in 🇺🇸) abuse

I’m thinking about federal income tax. If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we? Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Today I started the process of legally changing my last name back to Bastoni (long story)...this process involved: navigating a government website, filling out/downloading/printing a form, gathering all the required documents...(1/🧵)

If your birth certificate and your legal name don't match up, your ability to VOTE may be upended. I'm still in the process of getting my maiden name back as my legal name and this is keeping me up at night. Please read/sign: act.aclu.org/a/save-act

It’s really fucking gross that people of color and women have had to claw for centuries for every ounce of power we hold in this system and yet an entitled nepo baby fluffed by tech bros so long they’re all blind can just do whatever tf he wants. It’s an incredible condemnation of our culture.

Is there a movement to withhold paying federal taxes until we have evidence that Congress once again has authority over spending?

Mood: No longer buying from Amazon, Target, Walmart etc, and spending $ only on groceries/essentials. Building a small library of used books on off-grid living, gift economy, and anti-fascist organizing. Anyone else?

If you voted Republican, and you care about your country, please act rather than rationalize. Unless you cast your ballot so that South African oligarchs could steal your data, money, country, and future, tell your elected officials that you wanted something else. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...
