And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.
And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Absolutely insane.
Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.
Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.
The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

I sometimes have chats with NHS managers about how to “restore trust” and it’s amazing how poorly they react to the suggestion that people who harm patients should lose their jobs.

Fascism and liberalism are symbiotic. Fascism does the killing and purging to reassert the cultural white supremacist status quo; liberalism arrives as the heroes to “restore order,” handing power back to capital and paving the way for the techno-oligarch future.

Every capitalist I've dealt with almost always mistake money for proof that they’ve done/said something meaningful when really they’re boring insecure people trying to fill the void with status. When that fails, they use their power to make others around them feel small so they can feel important.
The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

the "tax the billionaires" political refrain is Good Actually in part because it is a call for the people at the top to actually be constrained by rules informed by the public interest, a virtue that fingerwagging correctives about how much revenue such taxes would *really* generate doesn't address

Oh my god we’re still making this context-ignorant argument.
Get with the times, if we’re adjusting for inflation without addressing how wages have stagnated, corporations are making money hand over fist, and products as a whole are enshittifying, we’re being a corporate thrall.

Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation
