it's just displacing climate anxiety all the way down with these guys huh

A brief history of things billionaires have compared taxing the rich to: Hitler invading Poland ~Steve Schwarzman, 2010 Hitler punishing the Jews ~John Catsimatidis, 2012 Kristallnacht ~Tom Perkins, 2014 Calling people the n-word ~Steven Roth, 2026

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

Meet the tech billionaires fighting taxes, regulations, various human rights laws, and also demons

The fight to tax the rich is just beginning. Our Statement on Mayor Madani's NYC Executive Budget:

is anyone organizing around a viable solution to this in the near term besides "try to win anyway"?

SCOTUS is staging a coup & we should call it that

Cursed to scream this into the void forever but: this is an absurd comparison and tells you absolutely nothing at all about whether aggressive deregulation and The Free Market results in a lot of clean energy @ramez.bsky.social should 1,000% know better than to say something like this A short 🧵

Sounds like @governor.ny.gov is lying about the budget being over so we stop pressuring her to Tax The Rich! Time to hit those phones even harder: 518-474-8390 Here's Hasan with what to say:

Someone should ask @governor.ny.gov if she thinks so, since it's certainly how she's acting!

to the extent that this is a thing, its mainly a problem of centrist staffers inventing policies that take a paragraph to explain who they’re helping. lefty/progressive candidates are pretty good at clear messaging consistency

if anything the main criticism we get is for building from the ground up TOO much (see the ten million "why didn't DSA run a pres/gov/senate candidate" replies on a lot of posts). can't win!

Kathy Hochul is going to force austerity on NYC in order to give people like this a tax break:

great example of the of deep psychological denial politicians are in. the worst democratic messaging doesn't sound like college, but poll-tested consultant lowest common denominator bs. meanwhile the very guy saying this *did* talk like a college professor and won one of the biggest victories ever!

Our pressure has made a new window, but there's little time left. If @governor.ny.gov's budget goes through, New York will face devastating Eric Adams-style cuts. Here's @cassiewillson.bsky.social with what you can do. Call Hochul at (518) 474-8390 to reject #KathysCuts, and demand she #TaxTheRich!

there is really no way to accurately describe what Ezra Klein is doing besides "right wing propaganda"

close minded cancel culture: someone criticizes you not close minded cancel culture: hitting someone with your car for criticizing you

Happy #FlashBackFriday May Day poster edition! 🧵 Palestine, 1974

lololol

I love this 😂

Celebrating May Day is as American as baseball and apple pie 🇺🇸 May Day was established to honor the American workers killed fighting for the 8-hour work day. Today, we celebrate by striking once again to demand: ❌ NO ICE ❌ NO WARS ❌ END CORPORATE CONTROL OF DEMOCRACY

🤑Are you rich, but not evil? This May Day, we're giving you the chance to prove it, with our ultra-limited run "Tax Me, I'm Rich" sweatshirt. 💅99% markup, 100% fundraising for our #TaxTheRich multimedia campaign. There's literally no better way to spend money. shop.dreamfornyc.com/products/tax...

Midterm elections might be 6 months away, but billionaires are already spending big to get the results they want

the New York Democratic Senator who chairs the DSCC not only refused to endorse Zohran but accused him on air of "global jihad." then she took about 5 minutes to endorse a white guy with who had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years. not sure what there is to add here

This actually underrates the difference, Gilibrand hasn't accused Platner of being part of a global religious militant movement yet while drunk on a morning radio show.

Hochul is running out of excuses not to tax the rich. @jabaribrisport.bsky.social explains why we need to roll back the hedge-fund handout to millionaires and multi-millionaires. Send a letter to Hochul and join us at our rally outside her NYC office tomorrow. Links in bio!

A relatively unknown tidbit of history, unearthed by @solidaritydept.bsky.social

Today is Freedom Day in South Africa, marking the end of apartheid and the country’s first steps to becoming a multi-racial democracy. It was a victory achieved through domestic struggle, international solidarity…and the cause of labor. Here’s how unions helped beat apartheid 🧵

"The structure whose supports our elites are steadily kicking down is also the one that props up their own personal safety from disaster and political invulnerability to accountability. And all of this can go away." me in @bostonreview.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

📸 Julie "Millionaire" Menin wants to hide from New Yorkers' overwhelming calls to Tax The Rich the same way she hides her money and mansions. So for our latest citywide postering, we left our biggest reminders yet right by @speakermenin.bsky.social's $8 million UES apartment.

"The entire Democratic Party should be rooting for this young mayor who inspired people across the country. Obama gets that. I am not sure why Hochul and Menin don’t." Wise words from @perrybaconjr.bsky.social.

Anyone who cares about the success of the Mamdani administration should read this

Jennifer Welch, wearing DREAM's "Tax Me I’m Rich" sweatshirt, has a message for @governor.ny.gov on @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social: "Kathy Hochul needs to raise the taxes on the billionaire bedwetters. [...] So I'm gonna fight hard for that." Be like @mizzwelch.bsky.social! 📧 dreamfornyc.com/action

A caller asks Brian Lehrer: by refusing to Tax The Rich while they're getting a $12 billion tax cut from Trump, does @governor.ny.gov effectively support the Trump Tax Cuts for the rich? (yes)

#MazzohciHive rise up!

On April 22, 1970, 20 million people across America gathered for #EarthDay – the largest single day demonstration in US history. This landmark moment led to a wave of environmental action and legislation. And it was possible thanks to the labor movement. #onthisday 🧵
