working to bring back the estate tax
(and yes the estate tax still exists but it used to apply to estates over 5.4 million and now it only applies to estates over 11.1 million which is such a tiny percentage of the population as to be nearly eliminated completely)
For real though, if you're interested in fighting for tax justice and a fair economy, follow @taxmarch for information and ongoing actions, and if you're interested in joining our organizer network, DM or email me.

I know people wanted a blowout that didn't happen, but all the work I've been doing has been centered around the expectation that Biden will win, but we won't know it right away. Despairing doesn't help. We just need to hold steady and make sure the votes are counted.
We have unprecedented numbers of mail-in ballots, we have states like PA and WI that don't even start counting those til day-of. And yes, Trump will declare himself winner, king, emperor, whatever, we've all known that too. That doesn't make it so.
Let's be calm, strong, demand the votes are counted.

And if Trump tries to undermine the results, there's national organizing you can join here: protecttheresults.com

Let's talk about greed. While blocking a bill for fair elections, fighting against a bill to help 9/11 first responders, and trying to take away food benefits from over 3 million Americans, who was the GOP working to help? Rich people, especially those with old familial wealth
These Republicans want to stop capital gains taxes from rising with inflation. Capital gains are money made from the sale of investments or real estate. Most working Americans earn money from income (aka THEY WORK FOR IT), the rich get more of their money from capital gains...
THIS is the priority for these Republicans, THIS is the thing they think is pressing, vital, important. TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH!!
Oh, but don't worry, it'll trickle down, they promise this time, it definitely will, they wouldn't lie AGAIN just for personal profit, that'd be crazy

It has always seemed that if you want to go into politics you should get a law degree but I have always thought that the best experience for politics is working as a server or bartender.
1. It matters that you find a way to get along with two groups, the customers and the back of house, but ultimately your obligation is to the public
2. You're going to have to tell people things they don't want to hear sometimes, so you need to be prepared with other solutions
3. It's difficult and exhausting and you learn exactly how much your body can handle before you have to pause and regroup
4. Extreme time management skills!
5. Your day can go from calm to crisis in a minute and you have to be able to respond quickly and thoughtfully

sometimes I lack the strength to be appropriately snide and dismissive and make the smart-girl joke about shit like this. sometimes it just feels like yeah guess that's the world, that's what society told me, that's probably what they all think, that's probably what they all feel
The internalized self-hatred I grew up with, the feeling that women stop mattering once there are no more men who want to fuck them, is tough to shake, though I've worked hard to rid myself of it, though I'm a million times better, stronger than I used to be.
I'm sharing only because I'm a smart, strong person. I'm someone who should (who can) dismiss that sort of bullshit. But I am fighting an entire culture, and it's ok to admit sometimes that that can be hard, that it can take a toll. Even on smart, strong women.

Good morning! Holidays are NOT THAT FAR and I'd like to get a jump on present buying. If you make things that people might like to buy and give as a gift, reply to this with what you make and a link where we can buy it thank you [YAY SUPPORTING INDEPENDENT ARTISTS!]
and when you reply, artists, please remember to include the link to buy and also describe what you make, so people will know what they're clicking through to! :)
Since I've lost 50 followers so far, just a heads up, I'm going to keep RT'ing all day, in case you want to mute me or unfollow. Sorry! But not really sorry! It was a bullshit "sorry" I'm not sure why I said it at all, sorry for that!
