Figuring it all out. Good things are necessary and possible.

Had a look at income tax in 1945 and applied them to 2025 dollars. Unlike today, there are 24 brackets; 20 split differences between 100k+ up to 3.6M+

In other words, if you make under 70k, you wouldn't be taxed more than 25%. If you make 100k-1M, you might be taxed anywhere from 29-78%.

Here is Donald Trump on Friday instructing his supporters to vote for Leigh Wambsganss in the Texas State Senate special election in Fort Worth. TX-9 is a ruby red, +17 Trump district. She should've coasted to victory. She lost by 14 points.

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”

And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

I rocked with BlueSky before my Twitter ban but honestly the only downside is that I can’t tell Gary Click to go fuck himself.

But I can do that at the Statehouse… and I don’t have to deal with the genocidal trolls making death threats on me.

It’s a small price to pay for 98% of the benefits.

Citizens United is the root of many of our current problems—we need to get big money out of politics and center the problems of working class Americans.

"Listen, I realize that it might look bad that I was emailing a man who had already been convicted of soliciting children for the purposes of prostitution and asking when the wildest night of partying would take place at the island he used for pedophile parties ... Hang on, let me come in again."
Interesting to watch Musk spin his newly released correspondence with Epstein.

What he is not addressing is that he very much requested to visit and party with Epstein, while SpaceX gave a tour to Epstein in 2013.

Remember when he was like “Trump is in the Epstein files, remember this tweet” or whatever. Meanwhile he must have thought nobody would ever see his Christmas morning emails pleading to go to Evil Party Island.

This is a terrific piece by Moe Tkacik about Stephen Miller, the architect of the current moment, the man in charge of half a dozen agencies and initiatives, who has inflicted enough institutional destruction to consume a generation repairing the damage.

What most reduces the chance a trans kid will suicide?

Getting the support and recognition they need to be themselves

What is most likely to kill them?

The opposite

The UK government position?

Mandated conversion abuse, segregation, no support, no recognition

I.e.

'We want them to die'
The figures here also show that 7% of all child suicides were trans children. That compares with trans children making up only 1% of the population.

Trans kids are seven times as likely to die by suicide as cis kids and all this government can do is make things worse and cover these figures up.
LGBTQ+ children make up 16.6 per cent of the children recorded as dying by suicide in England, QueerAF can reveal 👇

I am the proud daughter of immigrants and I am horrified by the violence and destruction of ICE, but it is not new. Our immigration system has been broken for decades, and the families impacted by ICE’s terror deserve our collective action. It’s time to unmask, prosecute, and abolish ICE.
