When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

The sexual abuse of minors is not a partisan issue.

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles is about right vs wrong, good vs evil, and it’s long past time to acknowledge and protect the survivors.

All members of Congress must be on the side of justice.

Voters are watching.
2026 is coming.

Keir Starmer is right. The death penalty is never the answer for any country. It’s inhumane, costly & doesn’t deter crime. It has no place in the civilised world. Most of Europe abolished the death penalty decades ago & has been better, safer without it:

By preliminary information, one of the strikes on Russian Novorossiysk was on a position of an S-300/400 air defense system.

One more reportedly hit an oil terminal of Chernomortransneft.

Looking forward to more information.
