when you're too rich to spend it all in 1000 lifetimes, your choice of home is not based on price lmao

Not only has there been no exodus but they don’t seem to be talking about what a sacrifice they are making.

AN ANGRY CAT SITTING ON A CAKE WITH THE WORDS: THE RICH GIVE US CRUMBS. BUT NOW THEY’VE DECIDED THAT EVEN THAT IS TOO MUCH. IT’S TIME TO TAKE BACK THE WHOLE FUCKING CAKE.

They made the millionaire tax surcharge 3-4% and tied it to inflation. Public pushed it through on a ballot initiative. K-12 free breakfast and lunch. 90% HS grad rate. Free community college. Highest % of insured citizens. Free school vaccinations for every child, insured, citizen, or non-citizen.

I live in Massachusetts and can confirm the millioinaires tax has been VERY beneficial to the regular folks around here. I can also confirm there has not been a mass exodus of wealthy people from the state.

You left out the most important result: more than 400 new millionaires were created. Taxing billionaires doesn’t punish success, it redistributes opportunity, broadens the economic base, & strengthens the overall playing field. It's precisely why Blue states tend to have higher standards of living!

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough. VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing. https://www.stereogum.com/2083804/icp-interview-juggalos/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

flight 97 did not die for this

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year:
“Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

That so many people are getting banned from social media platforms for quoting Kirk's statements on shooting victims in reference to his own death pretty much says it all.

Also note the double standard for conservative and liberals: you can say anything offensive on air as a conservative it will be defended as your right to free speech. If you say a true thing that happens to be impolite as a liberal, you get shitcanned

Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article detailed how an internal law enforcement bulletin said that ammunition recovered following the Charlie Kirk shooting was engraved with expressions of "transgender and anti-fascist ideology." Justice Department officials later urged caution about the bulletin by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, saying it may not accurately reflect the messages on the ammunition, and the article was updated Thursday to reflect that. This editor's note was appended on Friday, Sept. 12, after Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said the engravings included one that said "Hey fascist!" along with other messages and symbols. He gave no indication that the ammunition included any transgender references.

hi, cis folks!

the WSJ endangered trans lives with false reporting yesterday. it’s still accepted as truth by many, regardless of it being false. the article’s still up with a little note. it needs full retraction.

it's not even a phone call—it's email. you can do this.

Charlie KIrk believed that empathy was a "new concept" that shouldn't exist, so anyone who expresses condolences for him is being VERY disrespectful to his beliefs right now. please keep him out of your thoughts as he begins his transition into worm food. thank you

Opposing a genocide is not a purity test

Protecting trans kids is not a purity test

It’s basic human decency

Periodic reminder that because testosterone is a scheduled substance in the US, every single testosterone prescription in the country is stored in a state level database.

Please, please, protect transmascs.

Transmascs on prescribed testosterone are in so much danger right now.

I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally

If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:

Hey, do something for me, okay? Tell your favourite trans folks you appreciate 'em, whoever they might be, friends, family, artists/musicians/writers/creators of all stripes, whatever. Go tell something nice, I think we can all use it right now.

ALERT: Starting this month, there is a new law on broker fees when renting.

If your landlord hired the broker, they pay the fee.

If you hired the broker and signed a contract, you pay the fee.

No one can require you to pay unless you agree in writing.

Police departments have exponentially more control over how officers are recruited, trained, and overseen than a protest does over its participants, but are allowed by a sympathetic press to use the "bad apples" defense to separate deeds from goals and institutions in a way protestors often aren't.

Detaining union leaders for exercising their rights is an abuse of power.

We’re speaking up and fighting back. #FreeDavidEndRaids

Three things about this comment:

1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump.

2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you?

3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

I hope the parents of these children are prosecuted! Why would you teach your children this kind of hatred.

between the ages of 8 and 12, jesus wept. the poison that has been put in their heads, to make children act this way? their parents must be investigated
