If you owe $5000 in federal income taxes for the year, but you've only paid in $2000 before you decide to turn your taxes off as a form of civic disobedience. The estimated underpayment line is only $240. Don't let anyone scare you. Stop paying your fucking taxes

How a shadowy online blacklist became a legal threat to pro-Palestinian activists “Are you familiar with the Canary?”

Update: a senior ICE official testified in court that the Department of Homeland Security created a team to investigate student protesters “based on a list of 5,000 people identified on the Canary Mission website," confirming exactly what activists and academics told @hurwitz.bsky.social.

They're so confident that it's him that they won't even tell us who the fuck they arrested.

Sure they did. Surrrrre they did. Sure

This is insane.

After his 8647 post, Comey and his wife were followed by unmarked law enforcement from North Carolina back to their home.

Agents were waiting at his house, and they tracked his phone the whole way.

That’s a high level surveillance operation for someone who clearly isn’t a threat.

Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?

The People's Sick Day made Fox News? You better believe it. They are terrified of us.

We can end this peacefully and effectively with our paid sick leave.

Are you with us?

Incapacitated? Too bad. You should have thought of that before you got hurt

He does have multimedia labs in over a dozen children's hospitals to give families and kids a place to forget about the hospital and learn about how to make a tv show/watch stuff

But he's also worth $333 million so

Are you old enough to remember that it was a scandal when Ryan Seacrest took over American Top 40 for Casey Kasem in 2004 or do you not take Aleve in the morning? (I was Team Ryan)

Also he's the one who produced The Kardashians so ... we eat him first

Not just talking about it, talking about shutting it down with a three day labor and economic blackout. This ends now. I'm not doing another blind scavenger hunt for WMDs that don't exist so we can steal a country's resources after stabbing them in the back.

Get some sleep. Tomorrow we call our reps and decide if we've had enough or if we are willing to continue with business as normal.

@thepeoplessickday.bsky.social

I'm working with a group that is working on a thee day labor and economic blackout. Right now we are building momentum and locking in support.

I'm getting the strangest feeling of dejavu. I'm remembering how angry and helpless I felt as a teenager. Not this time.

Now Trump is telling the same like about Iran.

We must end this #tpsd

When the workers rest, the system breaks. #shutitdown

Yes. Let people with money pave the way with money.

Those of us that work the regular jobs, we need to pave the way with withholding our labor and our dollars. Buy local, give to mutual aid. But restrict your dollars and prepare for a total spending and labor blackout soon.

We are coming. #tpsd

I am sick of so much shit
