Yup, that really sounds like a tax plan that will help the middle class.
If you’re a middle-class family:
your taxes will go up—an average of $6,000.
your property values will go down; and you’re going to lose your deduction for state and local taxes—almost half of which goes to services like local public schools, police departments and firefighters.
If you are a teacher, you will lose your ability to deduct the money you spend on classroom supplies.
If you have kids in college, or have student loans, your taxes will go up because you won’t be able to deduct the interest anymore.
If you’re a grad student, your taxes could go up because your waived tuition will be treated as taxable income.
If you or anyone in your family is sick, your taxes will go up because you can’t deduct medical expenses.
If you’re a union member, your taxes will go up because you can’t deduct your dues.
however, you’ll be able to deduct your private jet now.

This is an excellent set of explanations of many of the dangers of making abortion illegal. If you don’t believe that these things will happen, take a look at the laws currently on the books, being written and shoved through conservative legislatures, and being proposed now.
It’s lovely to say that “mainstream pro-lifers” don’t support certain things. However, the fact is that the people who are writing and preparing to enforce the laws do. Or at least, they support using the “pro-life” movement to build their power and tear down other people.
Another thing everyone needs to remember is that the medical term for a miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion, and they will try to criminalize that, too.
As many as half of all pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion. Oftentimes the pregnant person does not know they have been pregnant.
I have been pregnant 13 times that i know of, and have required a D&C for a couple of them so I didn’t go septic and die. (Celiac disease causes spontaneous abortion in many people, and we didn’t know i had it, only that I miscarried a lot). I have had one live birth. One. The other 12, they’d like to make crimes.
So. You know. Been thinking about that a lot today.
I’m not sure I’d want to do that to Mothman.

You have the right to vote safely! If you have been avoiding registering to vote in the US due to domestic violence or threat of violence, please check out the resources for your state. In Wisconsin, this includes threats to someone in your household, as well as yourself and your child/ward.
[image description: a tweet by user @indigenousAI saying
“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]
I found this at Goodwill. It’s a little gaudier than I usually like, but I couldn’t resist. Now that I have it set up, I love it! (It’s rather difficult to take a picture of a lamp in place. I mean, it’s there because I want light there, but turning on the lamp itself put in way too much glare.)
Know your rights! Also, check your workplace's policy on sharing information about staff, customers, clients, etc.
ICE agents are complaining that the push to make sure people know their rights is making their jobs harder. Keep it up!
I was well over 20 when I *started* reading fan fiction. One of my best friends finally convinced me to try it, and I’ve been addicted ever since. I’ve been active in science-fiction/fantasy/gaming/furry and various other fandoms for decades. I have seen everyone from infants to senior citizens having fun at conventions. The idea that fandom could have a use-by date or age range is laughable.
I’m curious!
