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.
Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.
Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.
America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.
This is what integrity looks like.

THIS IS 👇 HOW IT'S DONE.......
Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here — where he should have been safe.
The cruelty is endless.
ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE
Immigration officers with guns drawn arrested some activists who were trailing their vehicles in Minneapolis, a sign that tensions have not eased since the departure last week of Greg Bovino.
At least one person who had an anti-ICE message on clothing was handcuffed while face-down on the ground.
Casar holds a 3 minute and 26 second moment of silence to represent the time in which DHS officers let Renee Good bleed out after she was shot
Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?
Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.
ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.
If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."
Gallego: "What type of man decides to walk around with a phone camera & at same time tries to make life & death decisions, then decides to pump one bullet that may have been forward-facing, but clearly the other 2 were on the side. Who is he? Clearly not someone who should be in law enforcement."

Há uma realidade que a sociedade portuguesa evita discutir de forma séria, não por falta de sinais e de tendências, mas porque o tema é moralmente incómodo, potencialmente polémico e politicamente explosivo.
1/ Tina Peters is in prison for criminally breaching election security, not for exposing fraud. No court, audit, or investigation found widespread voter fraud in Colorado. Mail-in voting in Colorado has existed for years, is used by voters across parties, and has been upheld by courts.
O que custa é a cabeça, o resto é pescoço….
uhhh yeah I can see why these childcare properties weren't eager to let in some rando dudes asking "where are the kids?"
Oh. my. god. This is the Asst. US Atty General calling people -- in print -- "hoes."
Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is officially mayor of New York City
“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”
Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…
