The case for a 100% tax bracket for billionaires I was looking through my photos, stumbled upon this image, and realized that I had to get out a seasonal newsletter today with a wish for 2025. Caption....

In the words of an Oxfam report from 2023, “every billionaire is a policy failure.” That's now the moderate position.

My words from about a year ago, when I picked one billion $ as a wealth cut-off for the sake of simplifying the math (obvs that's still too much $).

Ann Bacon Drury, one of Donne’s patrons, had a prayer closet covered in emblematic panels(constructed before 1615). My favorite of the painted scenes is this rather mysterious and whimsical one, depicting a mole reading the Bible with his little spectacles [from H.L. Meakin’s book about the closet]

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

“The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. The live green earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many."

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.

They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Content warning. ICE fascists pistol whip a person, pile on him 5-1, and then murder him in broad daylight. Do not believe a word of the story from ICE or DHS. This is a fascist regime and they will lie. We must abolish and prosecute ICE. This cannot go on.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.

ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
