I think my longest held, most controversial opinion is that should practically outlaw billionaires by creating a 100% marginal tax rate for income after $1B. Use that money to pay for universal healthcare and public college.

Reduces income inequality and provides free, basic services.

I haven't seen one MAGA show up here and try to make the slightest effort at being a good citizen. it's all insults, trolling and whining about being blocked. fuck those fucking fucks

Developing: Pennsylvania Burger King chains have updated their slogan:

"Here, snitches get stitches"

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way.

This is not a hot take.

It's just plain common sense.

Judges push back as Trump’s return sparks defiance from Jan. 6 defendants In multiple sentencings Friday, judges saw firsthand how attentively some Jan. 6 perpetrators heed their reprimands. (Which is to say, not at all.)

This should be making members of Congress really uncomfortable. Can Trump's followers invade the Capitol whenever they think there is insufficient loyalty to Trump? Do Senators & Reps really want to trade their personal safety for this? www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

Whenever you hear ANYONE blame ANYTHING on immigrants, say:
"It's not immigrants, it's oligarchs."
Always. Every time. Make it a stock phrase. Make it the conventional wisdom. Because it happens to be true, but it's also bite-sized enough to catch on and spread.

It's not immigrants. It's oligarchs.

I push when a door says “pull” way too frequently for someone contemplating a PhD.

Dane County judge strikes down Act 10, restoring public employee union bargaining rights Public employee collective bargaining rights have been restored by a Dane County judge, who ruled that several sections of Wisconsin's controversial law known as Act 10 are unconstitutional.

In case you missed it, a Wisconsin judge this week struck down former Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 law.

The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.

This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.

The ‘Chilling’ Fatal Shooting of a C.E.O. Has Business Leaders on Edge A Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company raised its drug prices, and then board members and executives received phone calls threatening violence.

I really don't like it when people cheer for a shooting no matter who it was, but I think we're starting to act like the 1790s in France. The "privileged" aren't looking quite as privileged right now.
