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.

Trump is summarily executing people suspected of being drug dealers, without providing any proof.

How close are we to Trump ordering the execution of Americans he considers opponents? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-illegal-executions

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

This is the criminal Trump’s DOJ granted limited immunity to and whom Trump is considering pardoning.

Elon Musk's X hit Grok bottom this week. The company's many recent controversies included the departure of X’s chief executive; the Grok chatbot spewing antisemitic comments; and the A.I. companion Ani engaging in sexually explicit role-play. https://trib.al/RawNHCH

Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year
In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged contestants at the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it

“Donald Trump … insist[s] that he never drew pictures.

“However, several doodles and artworks created by the president surfaced online … to directly contradict his claims. They suggest Trump regularly produced sketches adorned with his trademark signature.”

We will never be silent. The Trump administration has placed 139 EPA staffers on leave after they signed a letter of dissent opposing the agency’s current direction and policies. Silencing experts won’t silence the truth.

Amazing. Depressing as fuck. But amazing. It's like pubhealth waste water analysis. lifting critical data out of the putrid raw sewage that is Twitter.
If you're interested in seeing what the conversation on X looked like on Saturday morning, as the information warriors there went to work framing the shootings of Democratic lawmakers for political gain, I made an interactive graph: faculty.washington.edu/kstarbi/Spot...

10 years ago, a horrific act of racism and hatred took the lives of nine innocent worshippers at Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston.

We must condemn and stamp out racism & hate in all its forms. May we remember these nine souls and work towards a more peaceful, just world free of bigotry & hate.

Holy shit, this is horrifying.

Today and every day we stand with @seiuca.bsky.social and our immigrant friends and neighbors.
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

Good News! The National Weather Service is hiring again, after DOGE’s “brilliant” decision to lay off essential staff. Apparently, round-the-clock weather alerts don’t send themselves. Who would’ve guessed?

As the saying goes, those who don't remember our history are doomed to repeat it. That's what inspired Martin Mycielski to compile what came to be known as the Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide ahead of Trump's first term. And now, perhaps it's time—or past time—to dust it off once again.
