No. In the 1970s this resurfaced. They said she owed $300K in taxes, tho no one at CW received a salary. But she wouldn’t register as a charity. Eventually the IRS dropped the case, in effect pretending that the CW was a registered tax exempt charity.

Dorothy Day refused to pay federal taxes in protest of spending for war. In the 1950s a young IRS employee who had called her in asked her how much she thought she owed. “I’ll tell you what,” she said. “You tell me how much you think I owe and I won’t pay it. How about that?”

Environmentalist Rachel Carson died April 14 1964. My reflection from @GiveUsThisDayLP (Art: Wm Hart McNichoks) “What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?”

The master honored Easter in his heart and tried to keep it all the year. It was a reminder that if you were smart and tough enough you would always bounce back and inflict retribution on your enemies. And if you were a celebrity they let you do it. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Dietrich Bonhoeffer died April 9 1945. A thread from 3 years ago.
German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed 75 years ago today, April 9 1945, for his part in a conspiracy to overthrow Hitler. "The church's task is not simply to bind the wounds of the victim beneath the wheel, but also to put a spoke in the wheel itself." He was 39.
