Trump isn't in charge of federal funding. Edit: That list also represents like half the tax base for the entire United States.

Yet another thing that will be shot down in courts, wasting more of our fucking tax dollars. We should be able to start a civil class action suit and jointly sue everyone who touched this on the administration side. Half of them are billionaires anyway. Go after familial assets as well so their rich spouses can't escape their part in this.

Then stop paying Federal tax, THAT is a two way street. The entire taxing without representation is, if I recall history correctly, something that hasn't gone over too well in the US historically. I'd love to see the Cheetos try this with California. If California were to stop paying, it would ruin the US

Since we are losing funding over it, we may as well actually use our sanctuary status. In Oregon, no state law enforcement can help with immigration enforcement in any way. On or off duty. Document it and call 1-844-924-STAY. There are also laws protecting people from any arrest while at a court hearing, such as citizenship things, but we'll see if those hold up.

Didn't they already try this and lose?

Sanctuary states cut off federal taxes and sanctuary cities cut off taxes given to the state. Let the Red bleed.

No taxation without representation. You don't pay people for a service they aren't providing you.

In any just world we’d be able to hold up a mirror
