A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

This is frankly embarrassing for Liptak. A major point of the Reconstruction amendments was that there would not be different classes of US citizenship.

Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.

firmly believe that rejecting this outlandish position should not earn the Supreme Court credibility as apolitical it is discrediting that the Court even entertained the outlandish position in the first place

And while I know that sounds like crazy pants bullshit to come up at a Supreme Court hearing... remeber that Alito watches Fox News all the time and is NO DIFFERENT than your racist uncle who does the same.

"Mass immigration is good, socially and economically; is the single most significant factor in America’s current position as the global locus of commerce and culture; we’ve been lucky to have it; and we should want more," writes @felipedlh.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2080...

this is so fucking awesome

Minnesota stands with trans people. I stand with trans people and I stand up to bullies. Especially today, I see and value you.

Happy TDOV to all my trans sibs. Keep on trucking. Keep on holding each other up.

Mega vouch for Ash, who does so much community work and really needs a little help today

There will be community art, poets, a giant trans flag, a singalong, and more! Come say hi!!

Hey all! It’s Trans Day of Visibility, and I know everything sucks BUT! Come celebrate trans joy and take hormones together (or just be in community if you don’t take hormones or are an ally)! Today, 6pm at the Capitol. Hope to see you there ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

To our trans and non-binary Minnesotans: we see you, we value you, and we love you. Minnesota will continue to fight for love over hate every step of the way.

Caster Semenya is mounting a class action lawsuit against the Olympics for their patently discriminatory ban on trans and intersex athletes

lmao this is 100% cope from Angie’s team. Turns out signing on to Republican demonization of immigrants isn’t popular with Minnesotans! Who knew!

This—from an Angie Craig ad on Facebook—is the most deranged way to present that data imaginable. A. It’s sorted by the date the poll was published, rather than the end date of the poll. Craig being within three is in fact the second-oldest poll but shown as the newest.

👀

None of this is true, but it's telling how RFK Jr is also so ignorant that his baloney story is also of no use. Is "troop strength" the reason Trump's war has utterly failed? Is that how Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, with soldiers stretched out across it holding hands?

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

Minnesota law is already specific about who can be at polling places, and it does not include ICE! www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cit...

These are the delegate results from the SD55 DFL convention. I see 10 Peggy 2 Angie 4 uncommitted (lean progressive) SD55 is in CD2, Angie’s home district. These results are catastrophic for her.

They KNEW. They said they would fight, Jacob went on TV and said his big boy swears, and then they did jack fucking shit. Our city council president got assaulted by ICE and the mayor and city cops were nowhere to be found!

Chief O’Hara recently stood in front of the council and said it was MPD’s position that in three months, MPD did not see a single, solitary instance of unlawful force by a law enforcement officer against any person in this city.

This thing where ex-Republicans who can't stomach Trumpism anymore flee to the Democratic Party only to discover that most Democrats don't like neoconservatism, and don't even like Israel, is pretty funny. "Our closest ally on the planet"?

Hi all. Today I'm barnraising and urgent need for a family with young children referred to us by an MPS social worker who owes February and March and have received eviction threats. Total need is $3600. Can you chip in or share? 🌻

I’m proud that Senator @zaynabmmohamed.bsky.social has been selected as one of a few 2026 nominees for the EMILYs List’s Gabrielle Giffords Rising Star Award! Vote for her here: win.emilyslist.org/A/RISINGSTAR...

My name is Cedrick Frazier. I never worked for Donald Trump. And I’m running to be the next Hennepin County Attorney. secure.actblue.com/donate/cedri...

It enrages me that the Iran fiasco had basically relegated Israel’s absolutely horrific assault on Lebanon to a sideshow which barely gets noticed. That alone should be a crisis that grips the urgent attention of the entire world and nobody even notices.

Posting this as a public service for anyone who may need this later this cycle.

I am proud to be DFL ENDORSED! Thank you to today’s Senate District 62 Convention delegates for endorsing me on the first ballot! SD62 DFLers understand that now, more than ever, we need leaders who won’t fold.

in a strategic error, the Amy Klobs subcaucus started chanting “Amy” and then about 80% of the delegates started chanting “Anybody else”

Congrats to Rep. Noor on your DFL endorsement for re-election!!

Ilhan got multiple standing ovations and cheers walking out lmao. She used to be the rep for 60B and is intensely popular here ❤️🌹

CORRECTION: Abdurrahman’s last name is spelled Mahmud, not Mahumd. My sincere apologies.

Thank you Senate District 60 DFL for your endorsement!

I’ll be doing my best to live tweet the SD60 DFL convention! I am here as a delegate in support of our local leaders including @ilhanmn.bsky.social We have gaveled in exactly on time at 11am

Just finished Wendell & Wild, how have I never heard of this movie and how is nobody talking about it??? Genuinely phenomenal stop motion film, PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch it ❤️

Reader, I sighed & then teared up. This is such massive help. $16 million helps 2,750 families cover rent through June. He’s trying to raise the other half. And the dude also delivered laundry during the siege.

I’VE BEEN SAYING!!!!

Thank you SD 43! Let’s get to work! #CrystalMN #PlymouthMN #GoldenValleyMN #RobbinsdaleMN #SD43DFL

Craig had zero delegates in SD43.

we had school cancelled for a snow day five days ago

Report from SD45 — Minnetonka and surrounding area — is 9/5/8 Peggy/Angie/Uncommitted, with the uncommitted looking really good for Peggy This should be prime Angie territory, and I’m guessing it is even though she’s losing 2 (or up to 3!!) to 1. Not a good sign for Angie’s campaign lol

👀

i’m at washburn high school for the sd61 convention. ilhan omar for cd5 and cedrick frazier for hennepin county attorney both have signs about abolishing and prosecuting ICE

I echo this call from @stonewalldfl.bsky.social. It’s vital that @childrensminnesota.bsky.social resume providing life-saving care for our trans, intersex, and nonbinary siblings. Delays in care can be deadly and we should be acting urgently to restore them.

See you Sunday March 22 at Edison High School for the Senate District 60 DFL endorsing convention. Together, we will keep doing the work by standing up to bullies and helping our neighbors.

after today's court ruling, there is even less justification for Children's to refuse to treat trans kids, and even less justification for the MN Attorney General's office not to sue for this blatantly discriminatory policy www.reuters.com/business/hea...
