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.

Cambridge is one of the most progressive cities in America. Yet residents are crushed by housing costs, groceries, childcare.
That’s why our campaign is here: to make our city dignified and affordable for all.

Of all the scammy, weird things the Josh Kraft campaign has done this feels uniquely bad and actually illegal.
The FTC requires that sponsored posts be labeled #ad or #sponsored. For months, Kraft paid Boston influencers thousands of dollars for Instagram posts with no disclosure. #mapoli #bospoli

What’s your favorite mayoral candidate housing policy?
(1) Cuomo: Everyone is required to be rent burdened
(2) Kraft: I’m giving tax breaks to landlords to raise rents at 4x inflation

The Cambridge Police (still exclusively on X, naturally) are furiously spinning this debacle. After hours of antagonizing community members, they teargassed a low-income apartment building with NO WARNING. An elderly resident & a baby were sent to the hospital, and dozens suffered while CPD watched.

BREAKING: Trump just fired the former NLRB Chair.
From enforcement to unionization and more, “Federal labor law is in full crisis,” as @nlrbu.bsky.social states.
Here’s a breakdown on what this means 👇

Here’s a breakdown on what this means 👇
The immediate impact of this firing is that the NLRB now has just two Board Members, which deprives the agency of a quorum. Without a quorum, the Board cannot issue decisions on unfair labor practices. Federal labor law will not be enforced in a wide variety of circumstances.

IT’S ABOUT TIME @govmaurahealey.bsky.social !
Greater Boston Boss @bonniejin.bsky.social moves the needle on broker fees
Governor Healey says Massachusetts officials should ‘abolish’ the broker fees that renters often pay - The Boston Globe
Renters in Massachusetts are typically required to pay a fee to their landlord’s broker, usually equivalent to a month’s rent, before they can move in. Healey said those should "go away."
