taxing the rich WORKS
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.*

Everyone should explore their gender identity at some point in their life. Idc how much you think “oh I’m 100% cis” it’s still worth experimenting and trying out! Try out new pronouns! A different name! Different clothing types! Express yourself without caring about gender roles!
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

What shits me is: This is a committee loudly deciding that cis women who worked as hard as anyone else to be there and to be professional athletes are inherently and automatically inferior to everyone the committee deems even vaguely masculine, and then having the audacity to pretend it’s feminism.
The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

If Wall Street threatens Mamdani-style reforms with a capital strike, organized labor can fight back—history shows how banks killed NYC’s progressive plans in 1975, so unions must prepare to counter similar opposition now.

Let’s study how Wall Street sank Mamdani-style municipal plans back in 1975 — and get prepared for a similar fight.

This is part of what Judge Ellis means when that Border Patrol's use of force "shocks the conscience" and shows no signs of stopping. Absolutely inhumane.

I'm 380 bucks behind on everything that's not rent and haven't gotten any calls back from job applications. I'm trying to finish art while figuring everything else out. Please check out my work and consider grabbing a print or throwing some cash at me if it moves you to. I'm sorry for begging.
If you like my art and would like to support me, here's my links for prints or general support. I have no income rn, every little thing helps.

Thank you for looking.

Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

This is incredibly important:

we must frame tonight as a resounding victory — an electoral landslide, a mandate from the universe itself

and as a repudiation of MAGA, of Trump, and of vichy democrats

we must be relentless, we must not shut up
