The vast majority of income taxes are collected by employers and automatically sent to the appropriate level of government.

This doesn't mean China won't dominate the next century, they likely will, Trump is working hard to make sure of that, but they won't threaten Europe, at least not for a very long time, because Europe doesn't threaten their prime directive.
China will continue to build extractive relationships with the developing world where they have the leverage to do so, and they will be sure to not give India or any other BRICS member leverage over them.

The necessary corollary is ensuring that the Chinese population can be kept in line, however that is accomplished.
The long term interests of other countries are relevant only to the extent that those interests impact on the CCP's prime directive.
There can be no trust that China won't screw you over if their prime directive requires it.

There is no mutual benefit with China. There is only whether or not China can and will extract more from their economic relationships sooner or later.
The CCP has always had a singular prime directive, to ensure the continued rule of the CCP.

Your evidence for increasing bickering is?
So long as US weapons manufacturers are open for business, Europe doesn't need to replace US industrial capabilities any time soon, it just needs to be able to buy what it needs.

There have been lots of smaller protests in cities across the country for weeks. Tomorrow is the first big push to get people in the streets on a single day. There are 3,500 or more events planned in cities towns and hamlets across the country.
It's impossible to say how many will show up, but I will not be surprised if it's in the one to two or three or four million in total.
Of course it's very hard to get accurate numbers so estimates will range widely.

messages we know work.
What messages and how do we know they'll work?
The messages are those built using the race-class-gender narrative framework (RCGN), produced by the Freedom Over Fascism consortium centered on messaging expert Anat Shenker-Osorio.
Everything they disseminate is carefully tested to ensure it's comprised of the most impactful language and stories available.

Because they mostly don't know/hear about it, and when they do, they hear it from people/sources they've been told over and over and over again hate America and are traitors.
In short, the nonstop gaslighting bought and paid for by wealthy regressive-right elites, by Broligarchs, is working.
The only way to change this dynamic is by increasing the variety & frequency of telling our stories, true stories of who is to blame, and to do it using ...

As important as #OccupyWallSt was, this is much bigger and needs to be much bigger still.
Hopefully April 5th will be a big step towards the 3.5% we need.

I'd rather have him speaking up and voting against The Criminal's policies than not, but boy did he fuck up in the winter of 2021.
May he rot in hell for all eternity.

"In short, every American can do something—show up, walk out, call, sign up, demonstrate engagement. Democracy will be saved not by a cadre of politicians but by a movement of citizens like you who are determined to protect our American experiment in democracy."

Measles is so contagious that 90% of unvaccinated people who are exposed will get it.
Remember R0 for COVID?
It was 1.4-2.4.
For measles it's 12-18.
Ian an unvaccinated group of people, ONE person with measles spreads the illness to 12-18 people on average.
The only way to protect people who cannot get vaccinated is for very close to everyone who can get vaccinated to get vaccinated.

These uber wealthy regressive-right elites are working to steal even more of our wealth while that put the health, safety and well-being of people of all races, places of origin and religion at grave risk.

I have two simple questions.
1) Why do they need administrator (god-like) access to highly sensitive and extremely important government computer systems (stuffed to the gills with legacy code that few people still alive could even read, much less figure out what it's actually doing)?
2) WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING?
No wonder I can't get more than 2 hours of sleep at a time...

... and folks thinking about participating if there is a call for protests should give thought to their personal risk tolerance in light of the concern I expressed here - https://mstdn.social/@joeinwynnewood/113927110763419277, as well as the possibility of The Criminal calling out the National Guard or invoking the Insurrection Act to call out the regular Army to put down protests.

A heads up that there appear to be discussions going on about organizing nationwide protests on February 22nd in response to The Criminal's purges in the Justice Department and FBI on top of his attacks on the civil service and immigrants, and other illegal and immoral actions.
If you are involved with any grassroots civic or political groups, it would be good to stay in touch with your group's leadership.
If you are not involved, now would be a good time to get involved.
