While I wholeheartedly agree that we must collectively step up, I believe the Salt March was in 1930 and independence from GB didnโt happen until after WWII. People must understand that something this many years in the making will not be stopped overnight

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrowโs budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me ๐Weโre just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. Itโs been a roaring success. For every โฌ1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got โฌ1.46 back. Canโt argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
Damn. This is amazing. ยฃ325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?
The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.
At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

As I said earlier today on @msnbc.comโs Deadline White House, the President's decision to deploy the National Guard was politically driven. This deployment is illegal, and I will use every tool at my disposal to challenge this unconstitutional act.

Imagine being a kid in Chicago and having a Black Hawk helicopter land on your roof, then being zip tied and dragged from your home in the middle of the night.
Time for the DA and state AG to convene grand juries about this dangerous and illegal misconduct by federal agents.

No state in the country can fill the gap when the federal government abandons its citizens.
But in Maryland, we will continue to lower costs and fight for our stateโs families.
