this is, in some ways, the most data-driven policy we see from conservatives: they know it works, so they become ever more determined to stop it and keep people trapped in the vicious cycle of poverty

The Massachusetts "millionaires tax" has vastly surpassed projections, bringing in more than $1.8 billion in revenue so far this fiscal year — with the prospect of a surplus of hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on transportation and education
State’s ‘millionaires tax’ has already generated $1.8 billion this year, blowing past state projections - The Boston Globe

As a reminder, not a single one of these women is actually a housewife.
They are professional content creators monetizing male resentments over feminism. And they're using that to radicalize their followers.

my grandmother died in 2017 at the age of 95; had she lived, she would've turned 102 today. to commemorate her, I'd like to share something she said to me in 2016, which I wrote down at the time and have returned to often since, and which I feel is particularly relevant at the present moment:

It's almost like there's widespread systemic fraud in the New York real estate industry and people who've been getting away with it for decades are suddenly concerned that their license to commit crimes might be taken away.

I saw somebody promoting a weirdly regressive take on masculinity, & whenever that happens I think about Fred Rogers, LeVar Burton, Jim Henson, & Bob Ross. Universally beloved men who gave us so much empathy, charity, beauty, education, patience, & love

Regardless of income, all mothers in Flint, Michigan can now receive $1,500 mid-pregnancy, followed by $500 a month for 12 months after their child is born. This is the most universal of any guaranteed income program so far, with zero means-testing.
Michigan’s $55M experiment with guaranteed income begins with Flint moms | Bridge Michigan

The *actual* way to restore trust and sanity to a broken polity is for decent people to declare a no-tolerance policy for bigotry and reaffirm our commitment to truth.
It *should* suck to be an QAnon Moms For Liberty weirdo. Why the fuck would they ever stop if they weren't losing friends and jobs?

To be clear, extremely rich people with stuff to hide and a fading grip on power are trying to sue investigative journalism out of existence. Really up to American citizens if we survive this. Demand more out of execs running these places who don’t understand this yet.
