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

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.

How a shadowy online blacklist became a legal threat to pro-Palestinian activists

“Are you familiar with the Canary?”

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?

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims

[From our Climate Desk partner @wired.com]

FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims

The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

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.

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.

Bush lied about WMDs to declare war on Iraq. We don't even have an accurate amount of people he killed.

Now Trump is telling the same like about Iran.

We must end this #tpsd
