Whenever I say we should return to 1940-1980 tax levels for the super wealthy (billionaires) of 91%+ marginal tax I hear, "If you do that, billionaires will leave the USA."

To which I say:
1. Promise? Because it didn't happen last time.
2. Don't threaten me with a good time.

Colorado Democrats blast Gov. Jared Polis as he again hints at intervening in Tina Peters’ prison sentence Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has again signaled that he thinks Tina Peters’ prison sentence was too harsh as he considers granting some form of clemency — though not a full pardon, his off…

Seems like the Colorado House Speaker could (and should) preempt this with an impeachment threat. www.denverpost.com/2026/03/04/j...

Yeah, I know a guy like that, also a Gen X guy. He was really turned off by it and said most of his friends were also.

10-days left countdown graphic to Election Day, March 17! The photo showcased is of Kat yelling into the void, overlayed on the ten. Full copy reads: "10 days until the election!" with Kat For Illinois' logo.

🚨 10 DAYS! 🚨

We’re in the final stretch, within single digits of winning.

And you can help us get there.

We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.

And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.

They truly cannot process that you can be critical of someone you voted for.

This is just "do you condemn Hamas?!" for domestic electoral politics.

And chalking everything up to racism and misogyny is a thought-terminating cliché, bordering on liberal nihilism.

Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.

If you want to stop Newsom, build up his negatives with Black voters *now.* Emphasize how he keeps hanging out with racists and inviting them to talk on his show. Ask how Black people have fared in his California and how he’s responded to racism against us. What was he doing in 2014? 2016? 2020?

Or they can detach the quote or reply to the quote or block the person. Plenty of options here.

they brought back fucking polio

my god. this has to stop, this all has to stop. we are in the clutches of actual monsters.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

When politicians don't honor their promises, our work is to make them. To do that, we have to build enough power to make them. I understand why people get disappointed but this is unfortunately how things work in politics.

Rebecca Solnit Says the Left’s Next Hero Is Already Here

“I think we got into this situation in part by a lot of people in the mainstream thinking it was more important to be polite than to call things by their true names. …You do not get authoritarians to behave better by being meek and gentle and polite. You get it by being strong.” 🎯

The obvious wisdom and effectiveness of Housing First is obscured by the fact we've made "a tiny, no-frills apartment" an expensive status symbol in huge swathes of the country by creating an artificial housing shortage

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Yeah if someone thinks it's not okay to work at Lockheed Martin but wants to vote for Oysters McTotenkopf then I feel like I know a lot about them.

My brother, we had to explain a 1/3 pound burger was bigger than a quarter pound burger and still failed

The more Timmy Chalamet speaks, the more his relationship with a Jenner makes all the sense in the world

"War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of the warrior, you do so in the spirit of Washington -- not of Genghis Khan. For Americans, only threat to our way of life justifies resort to conflict." Graduation Exercises at the United States Military Academy, 6/3/47 "Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war. Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war. Worse than this, no one has been able to explain away the fact that war creates the conditions that beget war." Remarks at Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 10/19/50 [DDE's Pre-Presidential Papers, Principal File, Box

Was browsing the Eisenhower Library site this morning trying to find a quote I remembered.

President Eisenhower, WW2 military hero:

“In my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war… none has yet explained how war prevents war.”

this is fun, we deserve at least one per day

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."
