    🤔 Y’know, it kinda seems t’me like all the suddenly gerrymandering folks are maybe forgetting something very important… Something truly American:

    “The firm belief that the government should not tax a populace unless that populace is represented in some manner in the government…”

  2. @indivisibleteam I called Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott and Fry’s ofcs. Graham hasn’t had a human answering his phones for five years, we give him this: member’s MRA increased by 1% from the 2015 level, and the MRAs range from $1,207,510 to $1,383,709, with an average of $1,268,520. million a year to fund his offices and we get zero representation! Scott at least has a human answering his phones. They’re all deplorable #NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation

  3. @corq #ShadowDocket designed to take Articles I powers away from Congress since they don’t want them anyway. #Fascists It’s OUR money. We elected the officials who appropriated those funds. Give me my money back. #NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation

  9. Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on, and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!

  10. CW: #Brexit #RedTape

    Yay. Thanks #Brexit for making this excessively complicated. towerhamlets.gov.uk/lgnl/counc

    This is simply too convoluted, but maybe it always was – for example commonwealth citizens have always been eligible, but most didn’t know it. Maybe, if you would be liable to pay council tax (including if you would be liable but are exempt, such as a student) you should be able to vote and stand in local elections?

  11. @bunbloc it might also be appropriate to use something like #NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation since it's impossible to vote for a candidate that opposes #genocide, even though the vast majority of the population does.

    Though that's also used to call attention to the fact that DC and US colonies are taxed but can't vote.

    Wait till those GOP "reformers" discover there are more US citizens in Puerto Rico than in all of Vermont, Wyoming, Alaska and North Dakota, and yet Puerto Ricans have zero electoral college votes for electing a president and no representation in the Senate, and those four states have 8.

    Surely they will be so outraged they will immediately be demanding #StatehoodForPuertoRico

  13. @gbhnews Hello from Colorado springs! My folks took that tour! Very important to know history & when I think of Boston I remember the colonists rose up against tyranny & the taxes on tea & threw it into the harbor! 💪
