Important info for California residents given Prop 40. Make sure your CA friends and family see this so they don't get tricked into opposing 40. Our state is awesome and only a handful of crazies would want to live elsewhere because of this initiative.
New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

The wealth of the richest 0.1 percent of Americans has more than doubled since 2019. If that doesn't convince you we need a wealth tax, renowned economist Gabriel Zucman will. Watch.
Your periodic reminder that Claire McCaskill @clairecmc.bsky.social is a national treasure
"So this is just [a wild] clown show by Eric Schmitt, desperately trying to grab attention. They planted a story about him being considered for VP that morning. [..] They saw this as his moment in the sun. And as it turned out, he ended up in a pile of Schmitt." — Claire McCaskill, 1 Oct 2026

Believe it or not, @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social was actually talking about a Shakespeare character. Ostensibly, at least
"A king so consumed by demands for absolute loyalty, who loses control of his own kingdom [and] to avoid confronting the reality of his failures, and feeling scorned, lashes out at anyone and everyone, fuelled by narcissism and rage and eventually, loses his mind." — Jacob Soboroff, 19 Sept 2026

Jon Ossoff is spitting facts; and it’s 🔥🔥🔥
Ossoff: Did you see this business about Don Jr.‘s wedding in the Bahamas? Where he received, apparently, a cash gift from a Russian oligarch connected to the Kremlin? This man, Kremlev, was apparently in China with Putin two days before he flew to the Bahamas for Don Jr.’s wedding…

I'm all for this! We can be the Cascadia Province of Canada!
Real Americans stand with Canada, as Canada has always stood with us. Fuck DJT and his whole white supremacist, Nazi regime That said, please take WA. OR. and CA as new provinces. We know there are other states that would be happy to join also. #TheAlliedForces

im really and truly not the kind of person to shame people for the media they consume but if you watch the new harry potter you can get fucked
As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

So much of gaming is funded by casual players who buy a couple of games a year at MOST, or folks who only invest/upgrade when there’s the ONE game they wanna buy. So many people will be replying “lol” and “blame AI” to friends this next couple of months.
When the normal people I know hear about GTA 6 and start looking for a console to buy

Octavia E. Butler’s novel “Parable of the Talents” depicts a dystopian United States run by Christian Nationalists. Their slogan is “Make America Great Again.” Published in 1998, many years before Trump’s political career, but this poem in the book prophesied Trump. (Poem from @zymplex.bsky.social)

Supreme Court is bought and paid for... Wonder if we'll ever know to what extent?
BREAKING: Supreme Court hands Trump major election win, allows parts of his election executive order to move forward (for now). Canada unites against America, threatens to cut off electricity exports. Major new Iran sanctions. And more. Subscribe to support:
