With the federal government being steadily transformed into a pain, death, and detention delivery machine, the taxes we pay are quite literally imperiling us. With Tax Day still a good three months away, Desiree Hellegers explores the case for the strategic power, moral imperative, and fundamentals of mass federal tax resistance, alongside other mass mobilizations to shut down and abolish ICE.
