We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.

Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing...

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit."

Taxing the rich works!

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possibly all three at once. Who knows? Not even the Generals in what remains of the Pentagon or the New York papers calling for WAR seem to know who did it or where to look for them. This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed -- for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won't hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force. Good luck. He is in for a profoundly difficult job -- armed as he is with no credible Military Intelligence, no witnesses and only the ghost of Bin Laden to blame for the tragedy. OK. It is 24 hours later now, and we are not getting much information about the Five Ws of this thing. The numbers out of the Pentagon are baffling, as if Military Censorship has already been imposed on the media. It is ominous. The only news on TV comes from weeping victims and ignorant speculators. The lid is on. Loose Lips Sink Ships. Don't say anything that might give aid to The Enemy.

No better time to post Hunter S. Thompson on 9/12/2001.

Fuckin imagine that

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Figure I may as well spread the word on this as if there wasn't enough shit to worry about: They're trying to pass SOPA again under the guise of the BlockBEARD bill and some other bills.

This is unfair some of ancient traditions were invented in 1920

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

New ICE data show that the court order banning profiling reduced ICE arrests in LA by 66%! In other words, ICE is effectively admitting that TWO THIRDS of LA arrests were unconstitutional profiling. Did they admit this to the court? NO! They lied to the courts...

Unbearably cringe

Holy crap!

Texas House Democrats break quorum, bolt state after GOP congressional redistricting map passes committee | Houston Public Media The move effectively brings the state House of Representatives to a standstill and prevents any consideration by the full chamber of HB 4, which would dramatically redraw Texas’ congressional maps.

Dude, the history behind the word dude is wild The word "dude" is often associated with the '80s and '90s. But its origin is rooted much, much farther back in American history and it took a long and winding road to reach the coast of California.

From the suppressed_news community on Reddit: Blackstone Real Estate income Trust CEO Killed in Manhattan shooting Explore this post and more from the suppressed_news community

“SHE WAS the CEO of BLACKSTONE. Killed in Manhattan shooting. News outlets trying to downplay, bury this. Focusing on how shooter was targeting NFL(doesn't make sense)!
Intent was clear. Went to 33rd floor for a reason. Convenient no security footage has been shared…”

Until Democrats come to terms with President Biden being unpopular, and *why* he was unpopular, the Democratic Party will continue to have record-low approval ratings.

There is no way that nothing changes, yet a different result is had.

Does the text in this image not almost equally indict Hillary? Her husband is on Epstein's lists and manifests as well as Trump.

not happy with itch, but this is definitely what we should be focusing on rn
