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.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. Now he's literally wrecking the White House to build a ballroom for his billionaire allies. It's the perfect symbol for his presidency.

Priorities.

The Epstein Recess continues.

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

45 yrs of US history, in 25 words:

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

I like Presidents who don't bulldoze the White House

Asking earnestly, how is the ballroom project at all legal under the Anti Deficiency Act?

Rand Paul was the only Republican senator not invited to Trump’s luncheon at his new Rose Garden Club today. He said he had lunch with Thomas Massie instead. bsky.app/profile/blue...

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Even bin Laden didn’t target the White House

Oh, oh, I know who committed the crime! Ask me, ask me!! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Trump clocks in at 37%-61% in new AP-NORC poll. It’s the worst poll of his rancid 2nd term. Happy No Kings Day!

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mz_nlRrp_tM

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

"It's very much in our generation's muscle memory." Bill McKibben points out the roots of activism for many older Americans and why they play such a strong role in anti-Trump activism.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

They have worked 12 days in 3 months.

Epstein Shutdown.

Exactly.

Billionaires + trump will be the end of our economy and our democracy. Can't imagine who they think will do any of the work as they plan to kill the 99%. Greedy selfish idiots.

Where's the crime? Well protestors need to hold up mirrors so ICE and Noem can see the crime and the criminals.
