"Amendment 87, the Income Tax Fairness Act, cuts taxes for the 97% of Coloradans making less than $500k/year, including seniors, veterans, and small businesses and only raises taxes on wealthy individuals and large corporations to bring in an estimated $2bn/yr for healthcare, childcare and K-12."
GUEST OPINION: Graduated tax pushes back on growing inequality
Graduated income taxes are far from radical. They’re used in 28 other states, including 11 red states. Colorado is the outlier as one of only 14 states that still uses a flat income tax.

remember every other lauren boebert scandal? they’re all tied back into this one! truly the sex scandal with something (and someone) for everyone
🧵Lauren Boebert had sex with three of her staffers. Two of them were women. Her sex partners were Clarisse Navarro, Jeffrey Small and Raven Finnegan. Navarro's husband Jace Ratzlaff: "I assumed this would eventually surface. I’ll have no further comment on this topic.”

Regardless of how they remix the language, every super rich dude since the beginning of capitalism has only had one idea & it’s that by virtue of being in a position to extract more wealth from the labor of the collective than we ourselves are able to, they are entitled to more rights than we are.
Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich.

I read today in an article in The Daily Beast that some military leaders have privately begun referring to Pete Hegseth with the nickname "No Tab Pete" and I nearly spit my drink out.
I then realized that everyone should have the knowledge to appreciate this ruthless nickname.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage.
Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.
The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

honestly a rich person reacting to experiencing a consequence for the first time with “Wait, what? Me?” is a perfect encapsulation of why this was a good idea
I enjoyed the couple considering making the person with a lower income become a full-time resident of the NY property (the other one would continue to list their CT home) but my favorite was this person who didn't realize her second home in NY would count (even AI couldn't help find an exemption!)
