Good morning! A post just rolled across my fedi-timeline saying not to post about politics on Mastodon, so I'm here to remind you that:
1 "politics" refers to decision-making about how to live together in groups
2 choosing to not participate in political discussion is saying you support the status quo, and is a political stance
3 abstaining from politics because you feel safe from its impacts is a privilege and a choice to abandon your more vulnerable neighbours
Seriously amazing podcast - way more ppl should check it out!

DC's mayor just signed into law the most comprehensive transgender and abortion refugee bill in the USA!
They can't use ANY means to enforce anti-trans and anti-abortion laws against people fleeing states.
No cops, no jails, no warrants, no subpoenas, not even ink to paper.

The #economic cognitive dissonance we see and feel is due to 50 yrs of well-executed propaganda to make people believe that they fund the fed govt via #taxes and fees, including #FICA. To get ppl to accept #Austerity measures as necessary, to do our part to keep the country afloat.
In truth, as the sole currency issuer, the fed govt is self-funding and can never "go broke" in its own currency. Federal taxes have purpose, just not paying for govt programs. #MMT
