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.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

This seems like a worthwhile project people should get behind. Make Chuck and the Spineless Eight face the human suffering their actions will cause.

My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Sad, but that’s the reality in the U.S.

ICE Barbie Says Immigrants Are Too Dumb to Drive Semitrucks Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made the inane claim while bragging about arresting immigrant truck drivers.

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/s4Sj24q

Healthcare but only for my friends

Right here not getting paid also. Choosing gin over candy. Here's my sweet Vespa.

On the bright side, Argentina’s stock market is doing great today after Trump gave them $40 billion. Meanwhile, Americans are expected to go hungry in just a few days.

What a sick world.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

Canada vs. America

I know we clown strongly worded statements but every medical professional in the US needs to issue one by tomorrow morning saying "we're not following the bullshit guidance of a lifelong antivax activist & his senile boss"

Many of your grandparents were the original Antifa.

They fought against the Nazis on the beaches of Normandy and in the forests of Ardennes.

They literally helped save the world from the scourge of fascism.

Today, under this regime, they would be declared terrorists.

Let it sink in.

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Fired for refusing to fabricate evidence to help get someone else fired. That’s where we are.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at sheryl@weikallaw.com if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

So Ron DeSantis is abolishing vaccine mandates for schoolchildren.

And Dr. Oz is proposing that Medicare use AI death panels to deny coverage.

And RFK Jr. is making it harder for Americans to get vaccines.

It's like these ignorant zealots are in a contest to see who can kill the most Americans.

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

maybe there's still some good left in this world after all

The people who keep telling you that they plan to colonize Mars are also telling you that housing must be unaffordable and groceries expensive.

They murdered somebody during one of their raids.

They actually did it.
