I've seen outrage expressed at this one percent decrease of the lowest marginal tax rate as "not being a 'middle-class tax cut' since everyone -- billionaires included -- will benefit from it."
It's true; it means that anyone making more than $57,375 will pay 1% less on that first $57K. So, yes, a billionaire and I will both pay $573.75 less. That's how tax brackets work.
It's bad enough that some people don't understand taxation; it's worse that others exploit that to foment outrage.

A United States senator forced to the floor and handcuffed by federal agents for interrupting a news conference.
A mayor taken into custody by masked officials in military-style fatigues.
A political candidate pushed against a wall and handcuffed in a dispute at an immigration courthouse.
A government crackdown is extending to the political opposition.
“This is executive authority, especially in the Department of Homeland Security, running out of control,” said Senator …

Images of Handcuffed Democrats Are Piling Up in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
Federal agents have arrested a growing number of the party’s elected officials, fueling liberal outrage and conservative accusations that Democrats are carrying out publicity stunts.

Reminder: public protest is about visibility, not hiding. The power comes from people being willing to be visible, put their time on the line, and if needed, their bodies.
If you're going to start shit, maybe just ... don't. Direct action of the illegal sort requires careful planning and a tactical and strategic plan for why it will win. It happens sometimes, but it's not the mode, it's not the mode of the No Kings protests. This is a popular, public demonstration of outrage. It's legal (for now, and I hope, ever).
Yes, the police may try to kettle protesters and then trap them into curfew violations in places that have curfews. Masks won't save us from that where it happens. Just running the system with competent representation (and enough bodies to make it A Problem for the system) will.
We don't all need to be masked vigilantes at protests, and in a lot of cases, we need to be worried about the people masking up and starting shit. Remember that this is our opponents current tactic: masked, violent attacks. Don't look like them.

Barnett Newman's Voice of Fire was acquired by our National Gallery for $1.8M in 1989, and caused outrage. But it was a stroke of genius: other gallery postcards print a canvas, but for VoF they must show The Place. Newman defeated copyright with a single red line (executed flawlessly) that CANNOT be reproduced, only referenced, remembered, I was there, a Kodak moment.

Do everything you can to protest tomorrow.
If you can't, flood the socials with NOKINGS because the media, petrified of angering Emperor Trump, is going to downplay & minimize the protests to "tell both sides".

Israel's government has condemned the strike that hit Soroka Hospital as a criminal act against a civilian target. But since they've offered no proof that it wasn't being secretly used for military purposes, we may have to pause any outrage.

He’s a Master of Outrage on X. The Pay Isn’t Great.
An online creator went from a “nobody” to a conspiratorial sensation on X. What he gets in return is less clear.

At a topline glance, Trump's Big Budget Bill is an outrage:
large tax cuts for the rich and millions kicked off health insurance,
almost a parody of what an apparently fragile coalition of contemporary conservatives might abide
(if also a bill that raised the eyebrows of a few debt scolds, including Musk).
But because it is also a one-stop legislative omnibus,
rushed so quickly through the House that Republican representatives are now protesting they didn…

“…social media’s algorithms are built for outrage. And our algorithm, if that’s what you want to call it, was built for something entirely different. I think there is a silent majority of people who want a really different tone in political conversation.”
