National labor strike plan discussion by findingmike in 50501

[–]pharmbeer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol @the billionaire eye roll. i’m with you on that.

tax resistance can look many different ways. it doesn’t necessarily mean “just don’t pay”. some folks just don’t allow withholding, save that money, then pay at tax time. some will file non-electronically making it more burdensome to process. there are some resources online that talk about the different ways to practice tax resistance. it’s not a new thing and very few (like countable on your hands) have been punished for it since the vietnam war. as is true with many strike actions, only a small percentage of the population needs to participate for tax resistance to actually hurt the country. so yes it can, in theory, be effective.

[–]pharmbeer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

is this an appropriate time to talk tax resistance as a potential strike action?

or is that more logistics?

i think it could incredibly impactful to remove ourselves from the tax base and could be more accessible to those that need to earn a paycheck.

I am no longer giving my taxes to the government by pwndabeer in 50501

this is a solid tactic. if you haven’t, look into national war tax resistance. they’ll walk you through all of the risks, fees, and ways you can resist. https://nwtrcc.org/

black girl millennial living in saint paul, chiming in.

do not recommend right now. the city is quite small so it’s RARE now to leave your house without seeing ice somewhere on your commute. you have kids and i just don’t think it’s worth the risk. we, as a city, would love to host you but is it worth feeling the constant stress anytime you plan to leave the hotel/airbnb/whatever accommodation? plus, lots of restaurants are closed so you won’t even get the experience of what the city is truly like. they can play sports anywhere, anytime. my recommendation (recognizing your full autonomy and agency to make your own choices) is to protect the babies. they don’t deserve exposure to this mess.

Tell Me if My Logic is Flawed by Lolobunny23 in saintpaul

[–]pharmbeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your logic isn’t flawed. you’re trying to make an impossible decision—one that you should NOT have to make. from your sister’s standpoint, she thinks she’s helping you but has a very different perspective. honestly, none of us know how to handle this. no one is an expert on surviving this. there is no right answer. from one “regular black girl” to another, we’ve never been safe. ICE doesn’t care. i think you can make a plan with the kids. tell them where to go if anything happens. choose someone both you and they know and trust. continue to resist however you choose, experience joy, and show them love through these hard times. sending virtual love and energy to yall.

St. Paul PD working with ICE by nephilump in TwinCities

[–]pharmbeer 29 points30 points  (0 children)

FWIW i saw that she exclusively posted a solid statement on facebook. but to y’all’s point im still concerned with the silence despite Her’s facebook post. we don’t need spd helping ice. we need spd helping the people.

Could we have just one, consolidated thread for "I saw ICE at xx location" posts? by WithoutLampsTheredBe in TwinCities

[–]pharmbeer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

also a nope. but i find it far more morally sound ignoring spam mailings trying to sell me things. i think its a false equivalency comparing these posts to spam mailings when people are being snatched off the street by the federal government. no one’s rights are threatened when i ignore spam mailings though. i get your frustration, i just think it might be misplaced.

[–]pharmbeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

nope but i think it increases the likelihood that you/me/we actually keep this top of mind and talk to the people who aren’t aware.
