You can certainly withhold deductions if you choose. We do use a pay as you go system, so there are penalties assessed by the IRS. But if they're broke, who's assessing? It's not exactly easy, but it's within the realm of "doable." Employers can't deny a new W-4.

The double standard for bigoted arguments. For race biology is inconvenient, so they deny it. For gender, biology flattened into a caricature is treated as truth to police people. In both cases, science is not the foundation. Power is.

Bigots oversimplify and misuse biology to enforce rigid gender norms.

How bigots misuse biology on gender. Transphobes weaponize it, reducing people to chromosomes or genitals like “XX = woman, XY = man.” They ignore complexity, dismiss intersex, hormone overlap, and cultural gender diversity.

Bigots ignore or cherry pick biology to maintain racial hierarchy.

How bigots misuse biology on race. Racists use pseudoscience such as phrenology and eugenics to justify slavery and segregation. When science disproves race, they rely on stereotypes and so-called common sense categories.

Gender is social, cultural, and personal. It reflects roles, expectations, and identity layered onto bodies. Variation in sex and gender is normal and recognized by medicine and anthropology.

What science tells us about gender. Biological sex is complex with chromosomes, hormones, anatomy, and gene expression. It is not a strict binary. Intersex variations occur about as often as naturally occurring red hair.

What science tells us about race. Human genetic variation is continuous. Traits like skin color and hair adapt to environment, not subspecies. The Human Genome Project confirms there is no genetic basis for race.

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

It's very telling that the only numbers which are "correct" are the ones that come out of the Trump White House. Apparently every other number in existence is a lie. There are people who swallow this logic without blinking, those are the people who voted for Trump. You can't reason with those people

🚨 This is what it looks like to watch an officer of the D.C. bar be falsely detained for daring to be black under a police state. Glad the crimes committed against him were documented for the world to see.

How do you plan on stopping parents from being snatched out of the drop off lines in the morning?
