A Wealth That Tax Works
Massachusetts passed a “millionaires tax” in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't and Massachusetts has collected $5.7 billion for infrastructure and public education.

A Wealth Tax That Will Work!
Two likely contenders for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination have taken opposite sides on California’s proposed wealth tax. One of them is dead wrong.

Michael Che on SNL: "I get that I.C.E. Agents are people, allegedly. And they have a job to do. But at some point, while you're pepper spraying old ladies or shooting at a nurse, do you ever stop and ask yourself, are we dicks?"

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Was hopeful when the former owner of Home Depot, Bernie Marcus, passed away there would be a change in their politics. Ken Langone is no better. Hence, it seems they green light ICE in their buildings. #boycottHomeDepot
The Home Depot continues to allow ICE to terrorize the communities they pretend to serve. Let’s show them the same kindness we did to target!
use the website boycotthomedepot.network and the toolkit at bit.ly/boycotthomed... to spread the word!

We don’t give ground on who is protected because they might come for us next, we don’t cede ground because we all deserve to be here. There’s no prerequisite of value to being human. Why are you here if you’re not going to protect your vast and vivid human family? What is this for?

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world.

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research

Just a reminder that all of you saying "America First" and rooting for mass incarnation of immigrants are the same people that would have done this to your ancestors coming over. Absolutely insane for a nation of immigrants.
