WA Democrats consider retreat on estate tax, fearing wealth exodus Democrats in the state Legislature are moving to roll back a big increase in the estate tax rate, acknowledging it may be causing some very wealthy people to move.

You can't call every step of creeping fascism a distraction from kitchen-table issues and then punt whenever you have a chance to address the kitchen-table issues.

they did another while i was making this thread

I have no idea what this is and i don’t want to try to figure it out using my internet connection

As someone multiple months into a job search (HINT HINT) I spend a regrettable amount of time on LinkedIn. You might think that would result in their ad targeting for me improving over time.

lol; no.

This is so bad I’m gonna start documenting it in this thread.

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

massie forgot to cover whether or not he's allergic to drone strikes

At some point people will have to understand that these guys aren't in the Trump administration despite their friendship with Jeffrey Epstein but precisely because of it

yea but was the balloon pink or blue?

RIP Hunter S Thompson. You would have absolutely hated this shit.

oh i HATE this

IDK what's going on but everyone is saying their favorite Pokémon, so mine is Patton Oswalt

I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here:

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.

ICE must be abolished.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

Woke 2 is so near

Oh wow: AFGE (federal govt employee union) calls for the ouster of Noem and Miller.

Politicians gotta start calling for Miller to go. Right now.

This is the GM firing an assistant coach and hoping that will be the end of the questions, except with fascism.

leopard trainers shocked to discover

Really feels like a lot of Dems are acting primarily to avoid the Insurrection Act being used, but why?

They’re going to use it. It’s always been the plan. It’s written down in the published plan docs we’ve had for 2 years.

Let’s go.

I thank my lucky stars every day that the autocrats we are dealing with in this country are very impatient, and not very bright.
