If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:
Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M
That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.
It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.
#FundraiserPerk Connie Willis is kind and welcoming to all, you want to grab this chance for a 30-minute one-on-one video chat. Warm beverages and friendly chatter encouraged. + April e-issue of Locus and digital cover art.

Another Trump-endorsed far-right extremist has fallen.
Watch Hungarians celebrate the loss of Viktor Orbán and cheer their next Prime Minister, Péter Magyar’s win.
Congratulations, Hungary, on crushing authoritarianism.
We will do the same in America in November!
Winter is coming, Mr. President.
If Hungary can do it, so can we. And we will.
This is one of the best sites for keeping up with AI lawsuits, including this tracker map of cases in the USA and abroad chatgptiseatingtheworld.com/aicopyrightc...
I can never remember the name of Anthropic's new AI, so I'll call it Mothra.
Why wait to be called back? Show up, and impeach them all from the steps of the people's Capitol.
Ask what voters can do... come November, vote so he and the rest can be impeached and convicted. It's up to us now!
I also wrote my members of Congress. You can, too.

Just when you get fiber optic!
It’s day 32 of Trump’s Iran War, and we’ve already spent over $37 BILLION. That’s more than the annual budget of the TSA & FAA COMBINED.
Trump is choosing military adventurism abroad over keeping our airports & skies in America safe.
I hear that too, and I'm here to say you can write, brainstorm, research, and outline without AI! It's more fun that way. Readers hate AI, writers don't need it, but the tech bros want you to think it's inevitable. It ain't!
Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.
No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed.
This is no joke.
Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...
If I were Trump, I personally would fight like hell against the notion that you get the death penalty for lying. 🤥
At Democratic #NoKings protests, they used flags to wave.
At Republican #Jan6 protest, they used flags to assault police officers.
The two parties are *not* the same.
On the plus side, Trump finally got the crowds he wanted.

Besties since the 1960s. Did not expect to be protesting our government together sixty years later. #NoKings
To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
AI is extorting workers to become fluent in it in order to survive, while it decimates the environment. You can’t be looking for work or to advance (or keep your job) and an environmentalist when it comes to AI.

I just read Four Lost Cities by @annaleen.bsky.social and can't wait to read this! (Gorgeous cover!) 🪐📚🌈
My first sign (Mass.) is the chickadee's "Hey, sweetie!" Also the titmouse, but I don't know how to translate that song.
FFS!
