🦋 Tip. The 300 character limit per post is easily subverted by posting an image and then pontificating in the Alt Text. Because we're given 2,000 characters for Alt Text. Think if it as the 🦋 version of "Link to Story in the Comments"

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

Residents of the United States who are lawfully required to pay Federal Income Tax, go ahead and prepare your return. But. If you have a tax bill to pay, don't pay it. If your taxes are pre-collected as payroll garnishment, file to change your payroll withholding to the minimum. And don't pay more.

For what it is or isn't worth. Because you don't know me. I don't care if you are a Person with 100K+ following. If you are sharing "news" from the NYT or the WaPo, I will block you as quickly as I can and never look to you again.

The courts and the Congress possess no weapons. They command no armies. They can shout STOP until the end of time and he will not stop.
