Dear @nytimes

Please take down your pay wall for all the stories about Donal Trump’s failure to pay taxes for years and cheating America.

The people have the right to know and not all of them can pay to read your very important story.

this is NOT a pdf of the Sept. 27, 2020 NY Times article about the deep thorough investigation into Trump’s tax returns or anything…..

do NOT check out this reblog to see if it’s been edited with an article for you to read or something….

Yo Biden just announced an infrastructure devolopment/clean energy/environmental justice plan and it's honesty pretty fucking amazing and much more ambitious than I ever would have expected from him, goddamn. He's trying to Eisenhower/New Deal our way out of the economic collapse.

Some notable points addressed by this plan:

  • Expanding American railway systems
  • Fixing the crumbling roads, bridges, dams, etc. that haven't been kept up
  • Capping abandoned oil wells
  • Undoing Trump's financial bailout policies for unclean energy companies
  • Reinvesting in American-made automotive companies
  • Getting America to 100% clean energy by 2035
  • Fixing air, water, and ground pollution issues that disproportionately affect poc
  • Getting justice for victims of environmental racism
  • Reinstating a bunch of environmental and medical jobs Trump had cut
  • Getting the US back on the Paris Agreement/Climate Accord

For those who were wondering what the point of voting for a leftist candidate was, if the leftist didn’t win—this is it.  Biden is trending leftward.  That’s what we want him to do.  He wouldn’t be doing it if the left hadn’t shown itself to be a real force.

I know that the work is never done and all that, but I think we can count this one as a win.

please god vote. register ASAP. check to make sure you’re still registered because they’re kicking people off. look into your states mail in ballot laws

I don’t like the guy, and I doubt if most of this would actually get done, but please, it’s better than the guy actively dismantling anything good we have and pushing us backwards

even if you’re in a state that swings dem and you think your vote doesn’t matter, it does. the popular vote tally means something even if the system is broken. Hillary got millions more votes and that was the voice of the people. vote even just to add to the tally of people against Trump because you know the numbers will hurt his vanity

Anywhomst, if any of you happen to get called into jury duty in the coming months (assuming we don't move to full on military tribunals lol) act like you have no horse in the race re: the protests during the selection interviews so you can potentially prevent a guilty verdict

It's worth pretending to kiss cop feet for a couple hours if you can actually stop someone from getting pushed thru their system

Let’s add a bit to this. Jury nullification is this awesome thing that happens when a jury turns out a “not guilty” verdict even though they agree that the defendant did the behavior that they’re being accused of, because they think THE LAW IS WRONG. This is a legitimate form of protest against unjust laws and enforcement of those laws.

If you are selected for jury duty service, they will likely say something like, “It is your duty to apply the law as it is given to you, regardless of whether you agree.” THIS IS A LIE. You have the right to nullify a charge because you believe the law is incorrect, immoral, or for whatever other reason wrongly applied to the defendant of the charges.

That being said, do not tell the judge or the attorneys that your intent going in is to nullify the law. You will not be selected.

Know your rights. Exercise them.

sometimes i get a little stressed out because i’m living in a part of history that’ll one day be talked about and discussed and papers written and what am i doing? what have i done? laundry, barely

Sometimes I used to wonder what regular folks were doing during eventful periods in history.

Now I’m living in one and yeah, it turns out the answer is laundry, barely.

With all the insanity of people hoarding needless things leaving out those who need it and rich people not giving a shit about the health of others causing many to fall ill and cities to shut down, we need some uplifting news.
