Via Ben Wikler:

Absorb this graph—but note that the final year is 2018, the year of Trump’s tax cuts. That’s ’s big goal, always has been: to rip off working people and hand huge bags of cash to the ultra-wealthy, like himself and his Mar-a-Lago buddies.

Rutger Bregman:

Stunning graph: the plummeting tax rates of the richest Americans. For the first time in history, billionaires have a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.

@Npars01 @ramsey @GottaLaff Close the Carried Interest loophole. Private Equity and Venture Capital (and the concept of Carry) is so specific to millionaires and billionaires that even your run of the mill tax accountants don't know about it. We were at least talking about this in 2022.

@dangillmor why is there an AI web search engine on Facebook now and who is using this?! I just want to find my old classmates on FB, not browse the web. It's like they want to be 90's AOL.

MAGA Mike Johnson’s majority is falling apart and we could be on the verge of history. Let’s keep up the pressure on vulnerable Republicans in the key districts that will decide control of the House! Support our groups’ never-ending organizing work to win in November and get rid of these MAGA enablers: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/unrepresentatives?refcode=mastodon20240327directpost&source=mastodon

Trump's been very good at wringing votes out of conservative Christians despite his personal indifference to religion. Now he's figured out a way to get some cash out of them, too. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/26/trump-bible-sales-money/

@davidhmccoy @pbump @binaryphile Lot of evangelical Atheist keyboard warrior fapping going on in this Toot right here. Houses of worship are the only central social and social justice organizing space in many communities, particularly key in the Civil Rights movement. You go fix that and let us know your substitute.

Please don't do this, Taylor Swift fans or otherwise. These creatures do not look happy. https://www.comicsands.com/taylor-swift-pet-spinning-trend-2664362730.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

@georgetakei the social media platforms need to moderate this... animal cruelty should be against ToS.

Of course a right-wing 19 year-old is going to think disparaging the University of Chicago as woke will better position his career than actually taking classes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/03/off-campus-imposition-collegiate-speech/
