When you pay your taxes this year, remember: Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, many huge corporations will pay little to nothing in federal taxes.

Hag sameach! Passover thread! 1/x

First!

A lot of commentators describe spiritual chametz (leaven) as excessive puffed up pride, BUT--

feminist qs can teach us something else about how chametz can get us all to liberation,

focusing on our pain

how we impact others

and everyone harmed today.

Your April Fools' Day Reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

seriously, I will block you

Thanks to Trump's Iran War, Over $100 Billion Has Been 'Siphoned From Ordinary People' to Big Oil | Common Dreams "The case for windfall taxes has never been clearer," said 350.org's chief executive.

Never forget who is really winning this war. https://www.commondreams.org/news/iran-war-big-oil

Was this insider trading?

Some YA fantasy authors who to my knowledge have never funded an attempted trans genocide:

And more!

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025.

They have seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts.

Meanwhile, they've laid off thousands of workers.

Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

ICE officers getting paid for standing around doing nothing while TSA employees work without pay is a pretty succinct summation of where we're at right now

Because the public library is always one of the most helpful community resources (in my opinion).

On Threads I follow a bat, a haunted campground, and the Chrysler bldg so the discourse is unhinged/frivolous and I feel more at home. :-)

I've realized I don't post here much vs Threads because of who I follow on each.
Here I follow authors, scientists, and political analysts so the discourse is almost always intelligent/ introspective & I feel intimidated/inadequate. /1

Failures of “AI” Promise: Critical Thinking, Misinformation, Prosociality, & Trust So, new research shows that a) LLM-type “AI” chatbots are extremely persuasive and able to get voters to shift their positions, and that b) the more effective they are at that, the less…

This is to answer one question so I couldn't go too deep, but I'm reccing @wolvendamien.bsky.social article: afutureworththinkingabout.com?p=6422 and Justin Brown's siliconcanals.com/sc-d-i-spent...

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Politicians gotta start calling for Miller to go. Right now.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Homeland Security doesn’t like it when we call ICE and Border Patrol “the Gestapo.”
So let’s set the Gestapo aside. Instead I’ll use this thread to compare Trump’s thugs to other secret police and terror squads from different times and places. It’s tyranny, no matter where it comes from. 1/10🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

They’ll say ICE just needs more training, but Renee’s death came from ego and hatred unleashed in a moment of vitriol.

A Black Teen Died Over a $12 Shoplifting Attempt. 13 Years Later, Two Men Plead Guilty in His Killing. 16-year-old Corey Stingley died from asphyxiation after being pinned down by customers in a convenience store. Under a special agreement, the family of the teen finally feels that “truth, understandin...

I’ve been following this case for several years. Finally, a judge in Milwaukee brought a grieving father’s 13-year quest for justice to a close, accepting a plea deal for two men who were criminally charged for their role in the 2012 killing of teenager Corey Stingley at a convenience store.

Yeesh I hate being repetitive, and yet...

It's time once again to remind my fellow Americans that there is no mechanism whereby state run elections can be suspended or canceled by the federal government. None. So don't go along with any garbage you hear to that effect. Laugh, and get ready to vote.
