And there it is:

David Dayen of The American Prospect posted: “The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that **the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.”**

The GOP’s Bill is a Disaster for Students 🧵1/3

The House bill has $20B for a national voucher program to subsidize private & religious schools. Public money, zero oversight.

Defunding public education masked as choice!

This is a well-phrased way of describing this evil reverse-Robin Hood bill. Remember that Monty Python skit, Dennis Moore....

Republicans Are Unashamedly Taking From the Poor to Give to the Rich 🧵1/3

"The bill has $1.1T in tax cuts for people who make > $500k a year. And it has $1.1T in cuts to Medicaid & food stamps.

We are going to drive 13M..."

But that's a smokescreen. What PFDcuts 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 do is take $$ from and use them instead to shield the Top20% from paying their share.

the nazi government speaks of justice and fairness while it steals means of living from the poorest and low income earners and then hands money over to the rich.

The tax burden on high earners will be further reduced by €1000 per year. Low earners will be deprived of up to €700 per month. So much for fairness.The government's development discussion rhetoric about "fairness" is a big hoax.

As a result of the new decisions, income tax for the highest earners will be increased by a maximum of €330 PER YEAR. This means that those earning more than €14,000 per month will see their tax bill rise by around €28 per month. Those earning €10,000 per month will see their tax bill rise by €20 per month. At the level of the MP's salary, there will be no tax increase at all.

And that's not all. If you take into account the tax cut already given to the same group by raising the lower limit of the solidarity tax, these top earners will still be getting more our of it after all the government's tax decisions. Everyone earning more than €10 000 a month will see their tax burden LIGHTEN by at least €1 000 a year, and the reduction will increase as their income increases.

At the same time, social security cuts are taking hundreds of euros from low income and low paid workers EVERY MONTH. Housing benefit cuts are taking €200-300 a month from many. The abolition of the child benefit means €150-285 less per month, depending on the number of children. The average impact of the graduation of income-based unemployment benefits is €330 per month.When the cuts hit the same people, the impact is even greater. For example, if you are a person with two children and you’re earning €2,500 a month, who then becomes unemployed, the government cuts will take €565 a month from your unemployment benefit. For a parent of two children earning the same wage but working part-time, the cuts will take a total of up to €715 a month.

On top of all this, the government deliberately chose to leave capital and dividend taxation untouched, even though this is where the greatest tax injustices are to be found.

Or how fair does it sound that the owner of a wealthy family business can withdraw €149 000 a year in dividends as personal income and pay a tax rate of around 7.5%? Even for higher incomes than this, the percentage is very low.

At the same time, the increase in general VAT will hit all small and one person businesses in this country directly, as not everyone will be able to pass on the increase in prices.

The right-wing government's policies are very far from justice or fairness.

«Rooting out bias in appraisals can help narrow the racial wealth gap. According to a recent study, eliminating racial disparities in the amount of wealth families gain from owning a home would narrow the wealth gap by 16% between Black and white households and by 41% between Latino and white households.»

That is, the public purse historically supports financial subsidies to the already privileged.

#Spotify steals from #indieartists.

We need either 1) fans to rise up (please #boycottspotify), 2) a major artist (Taylor-level) to pull their catalog in solidarity with us, 3) or legal class action for wage theft or legislation / regulation.

Which one is the shortest path to real change?

@watch_union Und die größte #Steuersenkung (sowohl prozentual, wie auch absolut) erfahren natürlich die, die noch nicht genug Geld haben, um gar keine nennenswerten Steuern mehr zu zahlen.

Zu blöd für #Steuerbetrug diese neureichen Millionärs, traditioneller milliardenschwerer Post-Nazi-Geldadel in 4. Generation müsste man sein oder selfmade Techmilliardär*in.

Sehr gut C. Lindner, #Enteignung haste ja doch verstanden! #ReverseRobinHood
