there’s been a republican-backed california secession initiative trying to get on the ballot nearly every election since, uh, well the first one I noticed was 25 years ago but I wasn’t paying attention before then. wake me up when they try something new.
I don’t know about secession. But let’s at least stop pumping all that money back to the federal government and keep it for ourselves (or maybe just share some of it with Oregon and Washington State). That would be a really fucking powerful message.
Let’s see how those whiney anti-Californian red welfare states cope without us subsidizing their toxic bullshit.
California merchants that collect tax under a CDTFA issued sellers permit are required to report quarterly, some annually. So the state might not have much but at least there’s something. Out of state sellers that sell to California costumers are required to collect sales tax as well. I got an email saying they are raising sales taxes statewide on Apr 1 2025. Most increases are around a half percent.
Nah, bruh, I’m ready to be done, I’m signing that petition to get it put on the ballot. Read the room, any part of the federal government that doesn’t explicitly harm people is imploding. Fuck ICE, fuck Nazis, I’m out, and California should be too.
Russia already got what it wants in DJT. The republic is dead, and the largest contributor to NATO is pulling out. It’s time to take care of ourselves.
Can we join Canada and Mexico and form our own version of the E.U.? We’ll want allies given a hostile power will be right on our doorstep and I don’t want them invading us (I guess we can also join NATO since the divided states won’t stay in it).
Who know what form it would ultimately take? I’ve seen proposals of forming a pacific coast nation, and that seems pretty cool. We’d definitely have trading partners. We’d need to be on good terms with our neighbors, since we share a lot of water with them.
There is currently a ballot initiative registered with Sec State for California Secession.

we pay federal taxes to the IRS, not the FTB. How do you see california getting their hands on those taxes?

That’s sales tax. There is no national sales tax

I mean, it’s what Russia wants. A fractured, divided US, but at this point, what do we seriously have to lose?

Hi when y’all secede can you grab Washington or at least western Washington on the way out? We’d appreciate it
I’d be glad to! Let’s both work towards it!
I’ll be protesting at every opportunity I’m able
