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."

I was truly heartened by the number of protesters who participated in small towns or rural communities across the country.

For many it was their first time protesting.

My husband and I attended two No Kings protests in Bucks County PA yesterday. One was in a more blue area and the other in more of a red area. Both were very well attended. As expected, the blue area was huge but the red area wasn’t too shabby. It was a great day for democracy! 👏✊🙌
