The perfect compromise on taxing the rich for both @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @governor.ny.gov is to pass enabling legislation that allows municipalities to tax incomes above 250k.
Not a coincidence that municipalities are only allowed to raise property and sales taxes, which are regressive!

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

This is why healthy democracies don’t have competitive fascist parties - because it turns elections into Russian roulette. The dilemma isn’t “the same party has to win every time for us to be safe” but “the same party has to LOSE every time.” The fascist party is the danger
I do think this raises a problem though: A system where one party must win all the time to prevent fascism is not sustainable. If the electorate cannot simply reject candidates like Trump who threaten to use the military on their opponents... that's very very bad.

One of my black pill moments was that Biden actually focused on lifting the lowest quartiles up at the expense of the rich and the online left screamed at him about student loan forgiveness.
The vibecession was primarily driven by lower sentiment among the upper and middle classes, not the lower classes.

Fascist-lite doesn’t get us anywhere. Immigrants ARE great. It’s actually not a hard case to make.
We will never advance morally nor will Dems gain durable power electorally unless we actually MAKE THE ARGUMENT. And it's not hard: immigrants are great. Continuing to shit on or apologize for or insist only on mitigating evil against immigrants means we will never actually win.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
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

The pedophile president's Gestapo is zip-tieing teen girls.
"Images obtained by CBS News appear to show the zip ties and bruised wrists of Anabel Romero's 14-year-old daughter SueHey, a U.S. citizen who was tending to her 6- and 8-year-old siblings when the agents descended on the crowd in military-style gear and herded them into a confined area."
Feds zip-tied a 14-year-old girl during Idaho raid, sparking fresh questions about ICE tactics
A 14-year-old girl said she was "crying" and "struggling to breathe" when law enforcement officers herded her onto a racetrack with other detainees and zip-tied her hands.

Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.

A brazen abuse of power & an insult to democracy.
47% of VA voted Trump. They will now get just 9% of the seats.
52% of VA voters voted Harris. Now they get 91% of the seats.
(By comparison, in TX, 56% voted Trump; GOP gets 79% of the seats.)

Someone should start an instagram competitor with only 2 rules (besides usual hate protections, ect):
1) only photos, NO videos
2) no photos containing humans are allowed
