@joakial_ Most people understand this. Most people like taxes that benefit them and society in general, but hate taxes that are just waste and corruption. That's the rub. We see too much waste and corruption.

Taxes are not punishment; they are the price we pay to live in a civilized society.

Okay, 2 things: 1. It's horrid that the U.S. minimum wage has been flat for 18 years. A colossal injustice making generational wealth impossible for the working class. Immoral. 2. But TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS? How can small businesses make that work? Why not increase it $1 each year?

Many people do not seem to want data centres built near them, despite the fact that they don't cause that much traffic and often generate a lot of local tax revenue. I suspect it's partly because they're ugly! My proposal:

HOT TAKE nobody on my timeline wants to hear: Watching MAGA influencers like @NickSortor or @EricLDaugh cheer Trump telling Tennessee to redraw for a 9-0 GOP map is embarrassing. Gerrymandering is a DISGRACE when Democrats do it. It is ALSO a disgrace when Republicans do it. Pick a principle and STICK to it. Politicians of BOTH parties carving up districts to pre-select their voters is the political class rigging the game against you. That's the whole scam. Incumbents drawing safe seats so they NEVER face a real challenge. If you cheered when SCOTUS struck down Louisiana's racial gerrymander because "the Constitution is colorblind" and districts shouldn't be drawn to engineer outcomes, then you don't get to turn around 24 hours later and demand your team engineer outcomes harder. Voters should pick politicians. Politicians shouldn't pick voters. End the racket. Independent maps. Compact districts. Stop letting the apparatus pre-cook your elections. Don't tread on me. 🟧

@ClimateWarrior7 Yea, so brave new world. All pilots will be by remote control. Almost all warfare will be long range missles and drones. Carriers will go the way of battleships and Maginot line.

@micah_erfan How about you represent your state and district instead of just obeying "THE PARTRY".

@JudiciaryDems Let's double the size of the HR and just have districts that represent the constituents instead of Gerrymandered corrupt districts.

@JudiciaryDems Eliminate all Gerrymandering because it's corrupt. Let's do proportional representation

While the Trump Administration tears down clean energy in favor of fossil fuels, California is activating a pilot project for the nation’s first solar-covered canal. We're investing in new technologies to find more solutions for lowering costs, saving water, and preparing for a hotter, drier future.

@GeoRebekah Let's just get rid of Gerrymandering and go directly to Proportional Representation, but let's not forget it is illegal to hire someone based on race or gender.

Lousiana has the second-highest percent of Black residents of any state in the country, second only to Mississippi. New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport are three of the Blackest major cities in the USA. The Supreme Court just ruled that Louisiana cannot have a single Black representative because, that say, that's racist. But a state defined by Black history and culture having all-white representatives is not. MAGA America, y'all.

@queenie4rmnola Did we not just have a black President representing white voters? Must the person you elect to represent black people be black? Do we not have black Republicans and white Democrats?
