Teachers, nurses, and truck drivers pay higher tax rates than billionaires. That’s not just unfair, it’s a rigged system that punishes work and rewards wealth. The #EqualTaxAct is a step toward fixing this injustice by making the wealthy pay the same tax rates as working people.

We think it's unfair that everyday workers get taxed more than billionaires living off investments. This two-tier system fuels inequality & threatens our democracy. The #EqualTaxAct ends the rigged rules so the wealthy pay their fair share. equaltaxact.com

Right now, teachers pay a higher tax rate than billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. That’s why we worked with @ramirez.house.gov to introduce the #EqualTaxAct to tax wealth like work and close the loopholes the ultra-rich exploit.

🚨BREAKING: With our members by her side, @ramirez.house.gov has *officially* introduced the #EqualTaxAct. Here's what it does: ✅Taxes millionaire investments like wages ✅Closes billionaire loopholes ✅Boosts the economy & cuts inequality ✅Raises revenue only from the rich

NEW: CEO pay has ballooned from 42x the average worker’s pay in 1980 to an outrageous 538x today, IPS @inequality.org researchers found. Wealth isn't trickling down, it's being vacuumed up. There's a clear solution, says heiress @abigaildisney.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com: Tax people like her.

Privilege isn’t the problem in and of itself; it’s only positional. The problem is extreme wealth, inherited or earned, curdles quickly into entitlement. And when entitlement is widely distributed among the very powerful, it becomes everybody’s problem. https://trib.al/ITBKeXx

Ruth Ben-Ghiat: "The speed and scale of what's happening in this country doesn't have a parallel even in the early months of the autocrats we know and do not love today ... this is somebody in partnership with Putin."

Patriotic Millionaires founder Erica Payne: "Here's what happened. Doesn't matter who's in charge. Tax rates for the rich always go down."

“I am of the belief that every billionaire who can’t live on $999m is kind of a sociopath...It’s a strange way to live when you have objectively more money than a person can spend.” Read a profile of @abigaildisney.bsky.social in @theguardian.com today!

Talking about my wedding day yesterday sent me into my closet on a mad experiment. And it turns out my wedding dress still fits!!

This is the day of my wedding. I had just finished hair and makeup and was getting ready to put on the MOST 80’s wedding dress ever.

“The politicians who set up the practice of lifetime disenfranchisement as part of Mississippi’s 1890 constitution openly said that their intent was to exclude Black people from the electorate.” boltsmag.org/mississippi-...

Some fun stuff from the bad place. Can someone please explain to be what she thought she was accomplishing in taking Hasan Minhaj down? I just don’t under why this story got written to begin with.

Oh my god. Has it not sunk in yet that somebody is gonna be unhappy no matter which way we go and the climate activists, insofar as they seem “unhappy” aren’t being perverse or childish they are being realistic and scientific. Grrrrrr

I don’t know the answer to many of the world’s great problems. But have they tried diverting all power to the forward array? That worked for us often.

For most of the conservative Xtians I’ve met over the years this is a perfectly reasonable leap of logic. Which gives you a sense of how strong their powers of logic are. If you really want a giggle try talking about tautology with them. You can see sprockets blowing in their brains.

May I just say hats off too all the young and random shit I see on my Bluesky feed every day. Always give me a chuckle.

we all thought Twitter’s collapse would be swift and sudden like the fall of the Roman Empire but instead it’s been a steady, irreversible decay like the fall of the Roman Empire

There is no planet and there are no circumstances and no historic grievances and no previous victimizations that make this ok or even remotely understandable. Let’s all watch our language and remember that words have consequences. apple.news/AvJo4JzdwSo-...

Please, everyone: we all need to triple down in solidarity with each other now. We have to protect each other. We must be on the side of peace, safety and rights for everyone.
