...dude you're writing off a genocide against me with "some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make" shit

You are actively advocating for people to be complicit in not preventing another genocide.

In reality a not insignificant portion of them would probably vote for Trump to "own the libs" honestly.

She has a really checkered record wrt trans stuff altogether. I'm concerned.

She's better than Trump but a significant step down from Biden in terms of most of the things I care about which makes her a concerning pick, combined with the fact that she performs worse in polling (if that was the main concern). I hope I'm wrong but I'm concerned that this basically sealed the Dems' loss.

I was tentatively optimistic about Starmer on some of those fronts after writing him off as a hack but yeah, recently he ranted about how trans women shouldn't be allowed in bathrooms so...the grey area is gone, he just wants his party to be the Tories but painted a different color.

...my guy, Trump wants me fired from my job and then summarily shot. Vote for the guy that doesn't want that if you care, please.

Literally nobody is performing gender-affirming surgery on minors. It's difficult enough to get as an adult lmao

On a personal level you can deduct it from your income, but only if it passes a certain threshold...but also, it doesn't really count as income before a certain threshold, so realistically, at that quantity, it doesn't matter.

It starts mattering when you start dealing with donation quantities nearing like, $10000, because then you start to run into the standard deduction (the assumed amount that "well everyone just donates this amount, we don't need to keep track of it all before then, we'll just hand that exemption to everyone"). I forget what the gift threshold is in a similar vein, but it's not as low as $100.

Edit: I went through all that and didn't really address the core of the question. If you get paid a large amount of money, say, $20,000 and then donate all of it, ignoring the standard deduction whackery as discussed above (as a corporation would effectively do), yes, your taxes will have you deduct all of the donation from your income (you will not have to count it as revenue, essentially) if the group is registered properly with the IRS. You do not reduce your tax burden further than you would have if you had not received the donation, you essentially get taxed as though you never got the money at all.

Google isn't their employer, it's the contracting company. The contract not being renewed is inherently a business decision between two busines entities, which is probably going to result in the contracting company laying off the workers but that can't be directly tied to Google because...Google didn't hire these people, they hired a company that happened to employ them.

Is it a loophole? Possibly, depending on the structure of the two businesses in question...but it's very unlikely to be suddenly declared illegal, it's been common practice in sectors for a while for basically that reason. Contractors get the shit end of the deal and that needs to be addressed directly instead of pretending they're already protected by laws.
