I think most western countries don’t have a housing crisis at all, they have an asset price crisis 😅 and too many people vote like they’re temporarily disgraced millionaires, rather than to tax wealth hoarders #comic #comics #webcomic

(stolen from Facebook) Now would be a great time for all of those who have been discharged from the military for being trans to get their priorities straight and form militias to protect our community instead of protecting imperial corporate interests.

It's incredibly emblematic of the modern Democratic party that Cory Booker wasn't actually filibustering anything, he took the record for talking, without actually stopping ANYTHING. Why didn't he do this during discussion of the budget? Or while confirmation of anyone was being considered?

I’m thinking about federal income tax. If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we? Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

You are up to date.
