“I’m not paying my federal income taxes this year,”
Rachel Cohen declared in a recent Instagram video that received more than 140,000 likes.
The 31-year-old lawyer in Chicago plans to put the $8,800 she owes the federal government in a high-yield savings account instead.
She doesn’t want to fund wars in Iran and Gaza or immigrationagents detaining her neighbors, she said.
Many commenters said they wanted to do the same.
Others worried about her. “I’ve gotten a l…

An unpopular war,
skyrocketing gas prices,

In the coming years, we will likey see a cement plant🪨🏭, Biomethane🌱 upgraders, two bioenergy plants, and a waste-to-energy plant with CCS in Denmark. I sympathize with the first two. I'm skeptical about bioenergy plants and waste incinerators with CCS.

When the government offers to provide rebates or tax credits to low income Canadians, as recently announced by our Federal Government, most welcome the extra cash. But it doesn't address the key issue in affordable food, housing, or utilities. All of that extra government cash, provided by taxpayers BTW, gets sucked up by corporations that continue to rake in record profits. If you want to truly attack the #Affordability problem then implement laws that penalize excess profit taking by corporations. Take key necessities (food, transit, shelter, utilities, etc.) and create public options that are run as cooperatives and have controlled profit margins.
Marit Styles points out the difference between food prices at independent grocers versus the big chains. The policy position from @… on establishing a public grocery option makes sense, as long as we also protect the small independent vendors in our communities.

I once went into a haberdashers to buy a crochet hook. The woman serving me was genuinely concerned and asked "is it for you?" and then "do you have someone to help you?"
I often think about this.. On the face of it it seems like a case of inverse sexism, but maybe it was more about her not being able to imagine me learning crochet as a man without a traditional community of care, and wanting to give me advice or something like that. I should have continued the conve…

Members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) and of the Many Shields Warrior Society (an Indigenous community security group) have been patrolling the streets of Minneapolis’s Phillips neighborhood since the start of the occupation, and they do not plan to stop.
“We all have a place. My place is to make sure people are fed and get a cup of coffee,” Rice said.
As is the case with many Minneapolis residents who do not imagine themselves as demonstrators — much less radicals — gett…
