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.

Hey #Auspol

Diana Buttu tells Drop Site that leaked footage of Sde Teiman only came about because the Israeli doctor didn’t believe Israelis would do something so severe, and reported it thinking Palestinian captives had assaulted each other. She added that the Military Advocate General, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, only leaked the footage to explain to the Israeli public why a prosecution of the Israeli perpetrators was necessary. This did not stop the ‘Right to Rape Riots’ that took place in Israel.

The Republican Party's 'Civil War' On the Media > • Play Again Played Thursday Back in October, Nick Fuentes, the Gen Z white nationalist influencer, was trending in the news after a leaked Young Republicans chat revealed how his ideas were taking hold in some conservative circles. Then, just a week or so later, Fuentes sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson. That 2-hour interview triggered a crisis amongst the GOP's top brass that pitted major conservative influencers against each other, and garnered headlines declaring the start of a Republican "civil war." For this midweek podcast extra, host Micah Loewinger called up Zack Beauchamp, senior correspondent for Vox, to wade through the fallout around Fuentes and Carlson. and break

24 hours after the Israeli army announced it would reopen the Zikim crossing, it remains closed, with no trucks entering Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports. The shutdown leaves all of northern Gaza without a functioning entry point for humanitarian or commercial supplies, straining daily life for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians returning to the area. Zikim is one of seven ground crossings into Gaza, but only two are currently operating — and only a trickle of aid has entered over the past month. Mahmoud says the ground reality directly contradicts claims that conditions are improving; in reality, shortages are worsening, and the few goods available on the market are largely non-essential.
