From 1940-1980:
•Wealthiest paid 70-94% marginal tax
•0 of them went broke from taxation
•0 of them left USA
•All remained exceedingly wealthy
•Manufacturing boomed
•AND we also had the strongest middle class growth in US History
Let's do that again. Stop protecting billionaires. Start taxing them.

We must heed these words of Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel:
"To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time."
We should be teaching acceptance and peace, not hostility and bigotry.

"Diversity of thought is resolutely beneficial to all when it manifests through good faith, but intentionally undermining the public discourse with childish antics and calling it 'diversity of thought' is disingenuous and profoundly damaging to our social fabric."

My colleagues and I just voted 36-0 to reinstate Justin Jones in the Tennessee legislature! He and his supporters are marching to the capital right now to hopefully take his seat when the session starts at 5 PM central.

HELL YES! Joe Biden commented on whether he’s made a decision about a presidential run in 2024:
“I plan on running.”
During an informal chat at the White House Easter egg roll, the president told TODAY’s Al Roker he plans to run in 2024.
Hit ECHO if President Biden has your vote in 2024!

MTG, Boebert and others have zero interest in governing and may not even care about RW ideology.
It's all about the grift.
They say outrageous things, go viral, fire up the base, fundraise, get rich, repeat.

Unsure what happened but Spoutible's statement on a content moderation issue makes me increasingly feel like its my preferred post-Twitter destination for real-time content. Content mods can't get it right 100% of the time, but the authenticity and transparency of Spoutible shines through.

Also stole this from Twitter ... discovered it about a year ago, & quite frankly, were amazed.
The more we learned about him, the more we formed the view that as a humanitarian & Statesman, he was just ahead of his time 40+ years ago, even by todays standards.

I was so glad that MASHABLE gave me the forum to write an in-depth piece on the realities of adoption, tied to the films #BROKER & #ReturnTo Seoul. I've heard from real-life adoptees (as well as filmmakers) who felt seen by this article.

I and quite a few others have been trying to educate spouters on Spoutible engineering and architecture and necessary changes to usual social media behavior. Now I see some supposedly knowledgeable about social media instructing people to not echo. Wrong. That will cause active harm. 🤦♂️

“While bleeding to death in my helicopter after I was shot down, I didn’t care if the troops risking their lives to save me were gay, straight, or of color. Just so they didn’t leave me behind. I will not be lectured about what our military needs by a 5-deferment draft dodger.”

Lots to See Here - Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance
It’s turning out to be one of those weeks! Normally I’d be writing about DOJ’s declination on the Matt Gaetz prosecution. But tonight it only gets a couple of lines. Although it’s not the answer many people hoped for, I think the assessment of Dave Aronberg

I believe this as well. I was pro-Biden the minute he announced. I was sure Harris would be his VP choice the second she dropped out of the Primaries. They are a remarkable team & have surrounded themselves with top notch talent. Our VP's on the job training will make her a stellar next President.

The MSM needs to stop framing DeSantis as a "normal" alternative to Trump. He's an evil bastard and in many respects would be even worse. I'm not holding my breath though.
