How can blue states fight back against Trump? With fiscal disobedience | Eric Reinhart By holding back federal tax revenues, Democratic governors can turn a one-sided assault into a constitutional showdown

Fiscal disobedience:
BlueStates could establish a tax receivership fund
in trust for federal tax liabilities. Payments would be made into this account instead of directly to the IRS. The state would pledge to remit them in full once specific conditions were met."

CA is stepping up where the feds are falling short. AB 1319 would let the state move quickly to protect species like wolves if Congress guts the ESA. But wolves can’t rely on states alone—call Congress today & demand the ESA be strengthened, not weakened: TeamWolf.Org!

Authoritarian, Miliei, did some DOGE type cuts like Elon Musk and tanked their economy. Bissent wants to prop up Argentina’s economy because it makes what he and Trump did look bad. I find it amusing that a libertarian wants some socialism to bail his country out

What happened to America First?

Cuz Argentina is doing the austerity thing DOGE like and we don’t want anyone to notice that it’s not working

^^^ This right here ^^^

They have been implementing project 2025 for 1 1/2 years now. So I guess the U.S. will need a bailout next year, but from whom will we be bailed out.

Perhaps other governments deserve to be toppled as well.

NEW: Tonight, this is all that remains of Nepal's seat of government in Kathmandu.

Singha Durbar was the largest palace in Asia; home to the Prime Minister & government offices.

A 48-hour revolution, led by Gen Z protestors, has toppled the government & left large parts of the capital in flames.

We've seen what collaboration with Trump has brought us: money stolen from city accounts, cuts to essential services, New Yorkers as young as six deported. Cuomo offers more of the same.

I am prepared to fight back.

God you bunch of pussies. I can’t wait until Trump DIES! I hope he DIES A LOT! I hope he DIES hard and fast and loose and it lasts until he’s blinded from all the pain he suffers. DIE TRUMP DIE!!!

In my estimation, a lot of the people who have problems with Bluesky are so used to platforms just serving up the content buffet that they're unwilling to do the work to have a good experience here.

That work is the social part of social media.

Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.
