@theleftistlawyer taxation, especially of billionaires, at the national level is not about revenue. Especially in the US.

We don't need to balance the budget. We need to tax billionaires to rein in their power. The only reason to have a billion dollars or more is to use the ridiculous excess to adversely influence our democracy. Billionaires need to be taxed until they are no longer billionaires.

@a @theleftistlawyer billionaires exist because of a failure in society. Somebody was not held accountable when stepping on all the necks necessary to accumulate such extraordinary wealth. At my current, decently-paid, civil service public safety job, I would have to work over 1,200 years to accumulate one billion dollars. Gross, not net. No single individual needs, or deserves, that much money and influence. Not even the "nice" ones.

Cis people reading this, if you intend to watch the new HP series when it comes out, here’s two pieces of advice that you're not allowed to ignore:

• Have the decency to keep it and your reactions to yourself. This trans people-killing piece of media doesn't need any of your free publicity.

• Pirate the shit out of it.

Media coverage aside, looks like this Christmas is gonna suck for trans people who will have to deal — on top of everything — with their entire social circles of cis people gasping and gushing over the new Harry Potter series that's actively funding the policies that are torturing and killing them.
