🚨#BreakingNews: A new #TaxJustice battle is brewing! 💼 A brave bus operator across multiple Indian states took a stand against the 1st respondent (Deputy Commissioner, ST, Special Circle, Chittoor Division). Why? Because the taxman was overstepping his bounds! #GSTHorror 🚫👮♂️
📜 The operator had been slapped with an Assessment, Penalty & Interest order under the SGST & CGST Acts 2017. But there was a catch! 😲 The taxman wasn't playing fair - assessing total turnover from all states instead of each state's respective turnover. #TaxDispute 🌍💸

Twitter employees can opt in to Musk’s “bend the knee” mandate to hold onto their jobs.
Then a small brave group could approach management and state that while everyone is willing to work hard and strive for excellence, they oppose the mandate of “long hours at high intensity.”

So last night a young man stopped by our Letters to Voters event at a park, wondering what we were doing. When we asked if he was registered to vote, he said he had a felony conviction, "I'd like to, but I don't know that I can vote."

We asked if he was off paper.
Yes, he said, for 5 months now.
Do you have your release papers?
I sure do, that's my ID! I keep it safe!
Good. He just needs to take that to his parole or probation release paper to the county clerk's office, to register to #vote #restoration

We believe the raids will be focusing on people with prior orders of deportation who entered after 2014. This means can mean folks who never had notice of court in the first place, those seeking counsel to understand their case 2/8
and those who were subject to expedited removal at the border by CBP agents who did not inform them of their rights. Additionally, raids may also target not only those with old deportation orders, but those who are present at the time of a raid and their family members. 3/8

Thousands of students across the country are planning and participating in walkouts in solidarity with survivors of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
ACLU is hosting a #KnowYourRights training in the wake of some school officials threatening students who plan to participate in walkouts, like this now-deleted post by a Texas public school district superintendent.
Many colleges and universities are tweeting supportive messages, saying they won’t penalize incoming students who participate in walkouts and protest.
